As a retired Barber, I agree with much of what is said here; however, I have a few recommendations.  First, find an old school barber shop (not a Great Clips, etc...).  See who is the most experienced barber in the shop.  Wash your hair prior to your visit and DO NOT put any product in it.  DO NOT wear a ball cap.  Bring a picture of what kind of cut you desire.  A good Barber will make recommendations based on your hair length, hair texture, etc...  Part on the right side or left, cow licks and other factors dictate what may be the best style for you.  If the Barber refuses to do a cut using shears, leave the shop.  ALL Barbers are trained on shear and clipper cutting techniques.  As far as hair product, determine how much hold, shine and expense you desire.  If you cannot find the product you desire, many Barbers can order it for you through their Barber Supply connections.  Hope this helps.

"Look like a leading man from the 1940s"
Well, I'm German.

I am a young person and I have a side part hairstyle. I’ve recently discovered Suavecito Oil Based Pomade and I think I’ve now found my favourite hair product. I love how slick and shiny it makes my hair. You can’t beat the old school classic hairstyle. Thank you.

Have had the classic side part for the last five years and I can say that it has been an absolute game changer. The level of self-confidence and class that I feel with his hairstyle is unmatched. I highly recommend any man to try it.

Immediatly after watching this video I went to the barber and asked for this hairstyle. Now it's been a few days that I'm overwhelmed with compliments from my friends and colleagues. If it wasn't for your video I'd never thought of actually trying this hairstyle, I look more professional and well put together. Thank you for your work!

I agree with everything being said with one exception.

You can use a water based pomade. I use it and it works for me.

I watched a “behind the scenes” episode of “Mad Men” and it was revealed the hairstylist used “American Crew” pomade which is water based.

You have to put a little more in your hair but it does work and it’s easy to wash out.

My current haircut. Even though I sometimes get a little bored of it, everyone agrees it suits me and I’ve received the most positive attention from women with this haircut versus others I’ve had.

Classic men never go out of style

A man can have a beautiful, and well put together suit, yet can have their outfit tainted by bad hair.

I am 71 years of age and had this classic style for many years . I personally get it scissor cut in my home town and always get good comments about the styling . I normally wash it each time with TRESemme Replenish and cleanse to remove a build up of finishing products , then blow dry the sides back and lift the front up and brush to the side to prevent to much lift . Spray wax when wet to achieve the desired effect .

3:29 look who it is!!! It's Real Men Real Style. Nice! I feel like a real man and I'll be going out in style. Confidence baby, yeah!

Damn Pete did not deserve that slander. I get that he doesn't have that same solid face but still 😭

ive had this haircut since i was 4 and i still rock it at 46

Thank you!  I often wear a hard hat or knit cap due to my job, so clippers around the back and ears is practical for me.  Hoping to work the 1940s hairstyle in.

Great hair style.  Though bald on top, I still comb the sides back.  An elegant look.

Hello. I recently got this hairstyle, and I have been amazed at the positive statements said about it. And not just for one or two days, people really like it. I did have to modify it a little, however. I work in a hospital, so having a hairstyle with a high shine does not work for my environment, so I use American Crew defining paste to hold the hair, and people say my hair still has a little shine.
Also, I think you were a bit mean about Pete Campbell. My head shape is oval to a bit rounder, and I find it a lot easier to find a natural part on the right side of my face, which means my hair looks more like Pete Campbell than Don Draper. And I am still getting more compliments on my hair than I did before!
Thanks for posting this video. I was on the fence about getting a much shorter hairstyle (before it was basically a bro flow) but this new style looks like one I will keep.

A classic clean look is the way to go. For some this may be too "put together", but I disagree. Thanks as always for good content.

I'm certain the Danish Royal staff in Copenhagen have watched this Gent Z video. They have recently styled the hair on the 19-year old Crown Prince Christian to look like a leading man from the 1940s. It's an elegant and youthful hairstyle. Well done!

I've been rocking a classic side part for about 5 years now. Love it.

Regarding product; I've used Murray's superior pomade the longest. It works great, but I hate the residual oil left behind after applying to your hair. I could never get it completely off, even using dish soap specifically meant for grease. It would then get all over my phone, steering wheel, and keyboard. It's to the point where I'm trying out water based products now, just to avoid it. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is curious about oil based pomades.
