editorial gentleman n. a chivalrous, courteous, or honourable man required: charm, sensitivity, attentiveness This month we asked and style the team what they Welcome to the first issue of The Gentleman.
would give a young Gentleman for Christmas...
It is not an easy feat to be a gentleman in today’s world. Why? Because the notion of gentlemanly behaviour is not nearly as clear-cut as it once was. Walking on the outside edge of the pavement and opening the car door doesn’t cut it anymore. But do not despair, we are here to tell you that the concept of being a gentleman is not dead, nor is it old-fashioned. It has merely evolved. So we have put together a magazine that will guide you through every step of becoming, or remaining, the perfect modern gentleman in Scotland. Ally McCrae, our first issue ‘chap of the month’ takes care of the ‘humour’-side of being a gent and talks about his recent success becoming BBC Radio One’s new hosting talent. Also on the menu are lots of suggestions à propos ‘what to do?’ this month, including ‘where to do it?’ and ‘what to wear whilst you’re doing it?’. HD televisions are our tech topic of the month, winter warmers take over men’s fashion, Moscow is our place-to-visit this holiday period and, not forgetting that December is all about giving, we have also included a few suggestions for the perfect present this Christmas. Enjoy, The Gentleman team
