00:00 Introduction

When it comes to the topic of men's style on film, the spy genre seems to have something of a corner on the market. The James Bond franchise has had a lot to do with this obviously and we've covered Bond in-depth in both videos and articles. In recent years, however, the new kid on the block has been the Kingsman franchise.

Based on Mark Miller and Dave Gibbons's comic book series of the same name and directed by Matthew Vaughn, the series has had two films released so far with a prequel now next up and a third film in the main series also in development. On the surface, these films seem to be right up the alley of a classic menswear enthusiast with sharp suits, black-tie ensembles, and more. The cover for the Kingsman organization is even a tailor shop on Savile Row but how close do these movies actually hew to the tenets of classic men's style?

We'll start by breaking down the style of its key characters.
