7 OLD-FASHION Accessories BETTER Than Modern Equivalents (Classic Tools EVERY Man Must Own)

About this video

Centeno presents seven classic men’s accessories from previous generations that he argues outperform modern alternatives, including combs, shoehorns, collar stays, suspenders, vests, cufflinks, and grooming tools. He explains the functional and stylistic benefits of each item and discusses how they can be incorporated into contemporary menswear, while also featuring a sponsor that produces quality versions of these accessories.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that traditional accessories like combs, shoehorns, and collar stays offer superior functionality and durability compared to cheaply-made modern equivalents
  • Centeno contends that suspenders are more effective than belts for certain body types and vests add polish to an outfit despite no longer being functionally necessary for warmth
  • Centeno recommends that men use grooming tools like badger hair brushes and safety razors instead of modern alternatives, as they improve results and are more economical long-term
