In today's podcast for men, we crack open Bernhard Roetzel's "Gentleman" – the cult classic that reveals why the truly powerful men dress differently than everyone else.
Discover why Savile Row tailors are the "Mecca" of menswear and how they can transform not just your appearance but your confidence. Learn why top businessmen visit John Lobb for $2000 shoes while your colleagues buy disposable footwear. We'll reveal Roetzel's insider wisdom on why brass belt buckles signal refinement while silver screams nouveau riche.
Beyond the obvious, we explore Roetzel's fascinating take on the gentleman's private rituals – from his controversial sections on tobacco and spirits to his almost obsessive advice on packing a suitcase without rumpling your jacket (his technique for "the knack with the jacket" might change your travel game forever).
Most intriguingly, we dissect Roetzel's philosophy that being well-dressed is actually about respect – not vanity – and why he believes most modern men have lost the understanding of how clothes communicate character.
Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder or simply tired of looking ordinary, this episode reveals why certain men always command attention when they enter a room – and how Roetzel's guide can help you become one of them.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
