How To Get Everyone’s Attention With A GTH Kit

Sometimes you want to stick out like a sore thumb, right? You want everyone to know that today is your day. If you’re still reading then you’re definitely a man who needs a GTH (Go To Hell) kit. Warning: I’m not promising that the options I’m about to offer you are not going to get you beat down.

GTH pieces can be found at a lot of places, but finding GTH worthy pieces that fit right is a necessity of a modern man’s GTH kit. Don’t get stuck having killer GTH status and have it fit wrong—like Sir Tommy here. It’s hard enough to hold your head up while you’re walking around in your kit—you don’t need your pants falling down. Most likely you’re going to end up at the tailor, but there are a couple of brands that are cutting GTH options trimmer these days.

We’ll start with ties. Vineyard Vines has been servin’ GTH ties since ‘98. These are preppy, but when paired with a full GTH kit, preppy can’t touch ‘em. They make ‘em wide and skinny now so there’s most likely a width you can get down to. There’s also a good amount of GTH ties over at David Hart & Co. so check those out too. I personally like the Hermes options, myself. I like the 7cm ones and when I’m rollin’ GTH, I put on a floral one. I don’t know what it is about floral patterns, but they say GTH in a millisecond.

Finding the right pants for a the GTH kit is a must and Bonobos, Lilly Pulitzer, Etro, Brooks Brothers, L.L. Bean and J. Crew all have options for you. So there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to find at least one pair. I’m a big fan of the floral pants from Bonobos. If those aren’t stocked, head over to Lilly Pulitzer for similar patterns. Bonobos pants are cut slim, but the Pulitzers are probably going to need to be tapered and trimmed. Etro is a pricier option, but they have some seriously trim options for you. A common leg opening width on Etro pants is 7 1/4” (14 1/2”) which is spot on in my book. If you’re loaded, but don’t want to spend all of your dough on GTH pants because you wanna put that dough in your shoes, I get you. Check out these Brooks Brother’s options. I’m talking madras, or anything with embroidery. Are you listening? Here’s a pair with ducks embroidered on them. Ducks quack GTH all day. BTW: These are for your Fall GTH kit. 

You’re lucky because most of the brands that carry GTH pants also carry GTH shirts, socks, and belts. So I’ll let you explore those for yourself. Just remember, the bigger, bolder and flashier the pattern, the better off you’re gonna be. And animal prints always make a serious GTH statement. GTH jackets are bit harder to find, so you’re gonna have to keep your eyes peeled. So you can see what I’m talking about, check out the nice jacket option below from Gucci. 

I’m not gonna lie to yah. When it comes to shoes, the more you can spend the better off you’re gonna be. If you’re not rollin’ in dough though, don’t get your hopes up. You can find all kinds of GTH shoes on ebay. I just saw some all blue Duckie Brown Florsheims go for $99. Whoever bought those just upped their GTH game. Some of my favorites are from Barker Black, Stubbs & Wootton and Gucci. To get you off on the right foot, HAR HAR HAR, I’ve added some examples below.
