What is Gentleman’s Agreement – startup review

Gentleman’s Agreement is an online fashion shop specialised in accessories for men.

What are the products?

Gentleman’s Agreement is focusing a very niche market with 4 products: bow ties, socks, pocket squares and cufflinks. It might seem like a narrow market, but it sure has class. The prices are much more affordable than I had expected just by looking at the website. I think socks are a good way to gauge affordability (we all buy socks, don’t we?) – well these are €13,00 a pair. For good quality socks, you might spend more in most stores.

The lead product is the bow tie (Fliege in German – a fly.) A silk hand-made bow tie starts from €79,00, a bit more for the wedding edition.

The products are gorgeous, especially the bow ties. The fabric looks great and I really wish I had the opportunity to touch them. The big question is: where are the braces?

John’s opinion

I love this shop! It’s one of the most fun start-up I have written about thus far. The products are really dandy-like and yet not too eccentric. They make the perfect present for a man who has a bit of taste (and Christmas is at the door!) The payment process is simple and the deliver within 5 days in Germany (shipping fees €4,90) or anywhere in Europe within 7 days. (shipping fees €8,99) The video promoting the products is also really pleasant to watch, with great views of Hamburg… and the founders'(?) great legs.
