Welcome to The Gentlemanly Things. In this premiere solocast, host Brian Lipstein invites us into the world that inspired the show–a place where image, intention, and elegant living intersect.
We journey through Brian’s personal story: from a college student indifferent to suits to a master tailor and certified image consultant. Along the way, we uncover how style, upbringing, and identity are deeply intertwined–and why understanding your image is about far more than clothing.
This isn’t a lecture–it’s the start of an ongoing conversation. Think of it like the first pour of a fine whiskey or the quiet pleasure of a well-aged cigar.
Join us as we explore the philosophy behind The Gentlemanly Things and set the tone for the artful, intentional living we’ll continue to uncover together.
