Hey everyone, I’ve been refining my personal style lately, not just in terms of clothing, but in how I present myself day‑to‑day. I’m realizing that style isn’t about impressing others it’s about showing up as the best version of myself, consistently and intentionally. I’d love to hear from the community: What’s one style habit or mindset shift that made the biggest difference for you?

1) As a General I already have the Style System. As a guy who has been a student of quality Classic Timeless Menswear for 50 years - did I really NEED Antonio’s style system? Probably not. But as a life time learner I deeply appreciate the brilliant way Antonio and his team assembled it and I found many nuggets inside. SO no I didn’t do it to get the style system. But at the VIP price that system alone is worth the upgrade for 90% of the guys here unquestionably. 2) Did I do it for the discounts? As a finance guy and a Dave Ramsey master Coach I know better than buying for bonus points or bonus miles or discounts. (For example Americans spend something like $12,000 - $40,000 per year extra on things by using a credit card versus feeling the pain of cash -or immediate account reduction from a debit card and use the feeble excuse that they are getting points and cash back-$12-40k will buy a hell of a lot of air miles😉) - so no I didn’t do it for the discounts. So Why? I did it for two reasons. One I owe @Antonio O. Centeno Because of this site and you gentlemen I was able to reclaim some long atrophied mojo. I can put into real dollars the gains I have made because of it and it equals a very sizable sum. Two-by paying a year in advance-the VIP is discounted nearly half. Not a lot of places to make 50% per year after tax guaranteed. (Plus for those who haven’t reached the general style system that alone makes that a steal of a deal) That is why I upgraded. Thank you gentlemen for helping to make me a little bit better me. And a special thanks to Antonio and his team. Have a great New Year.

so something else I haven’t shared yet is my love for genealogy and history I had a 2nd cousin whom was a paid genealogist and we lost her years ago, but she handed her work down to my grandmother whom handed it down to me and I took over. Ive been digging and learning for 16 years. Cause of this Ive been able to trace my roots back to my 15th and 16th great grandparents. It’s taken hundreds of years and hundreds of relationships for me to be here right now and to be the gentleman that i am. It’s taken me learning of wars, love, hate, hangings, slavery , things that should have ended my family generations ago but God turned it a different way and expanded the family instead. It’s taken me to want to be extremely different from the things I’ve come to learn and be different from generations of family before me that were not gentleman and not not good women either. That being said there were some amazing family members that did exceptional things that idk if I’ll be able to live up to their standards and accomplishments I take one day at a time and only try and become better. I am scotch Irish, Jewish, welsh, German, Quaker, creek Indian, French, English, Swedish. All of that mixed to make a strong gentleman Gents you need to know where you came from to know where your going !!

I’ve been updating my wardrobe piece by piece, and tailoring has become the secret weapon I didn’t know I needed. Getting the hem right, adjusting the rise, tightening the sleeves those small changes have completely elevated how my clothes fit and feel. What I appreciate about this community is how open everyone is about their process. Whether it’s full canvas suits, modern cuts, or everyday basics, the insights here help me refine my own approach. Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge. It really does make a difference.
