The Most UNDERRATED Menswear Brands

About this video

The Gazette team presents 12 underrated menswear brands that offer quality classic menswear but lack the mainstream recognition of more iconic labels. The video covers brands ranging from L.L. Bean and Lands’ End to Italian tailors like d’Avenza and Belvest, explaining each brand’s strengths, signature pieces, and how to style them into classic outfits.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that many well-established brands are underrated in classic menswear because they’re primarily known for other product categories, such as L.L. Bean’s reputation for outdoor gear overshadowing their quality sweaters
• The Gazette team recommends exploring secondhand markets for luxury brands like d’Avenza and Belvest, where their lack of marketing recognition means high-quality pieces can be found at significantly reduced prices
• The Gazette team highlights niche brands with unique offerings, such as Baturina’s made-to-measure pajamas and Aero’s cordovan leather jackets, that fill specific gaps in classic menswear that few competitors address
