Gentlemen’s Edit by John Jacobs takes you through the goals, accomplishments, and inspirational journeys of pioneering men. The collection is designed for a multifaceted customer, who is looking to strike the right balance between self-expression and substantial utility. By reclaiming the word ‘gentlemen’, the campaign also wishes to redefine the term and free it from socio-political contexts. It aims to present and manifest a certain lifestyle — one that is classic, cultured, and aspirational centring around what individual success truly means.

Sumit Chawla, John Jacobs’ General Manager Marketing, accurately sums it up, “The spirit of Gentlemen’s Edit is rooted in our core principles, such as progression by virtue of innovation and exacting quality standards. The campaign aims at redefining the idea of success and commemorating distinctive career trajectories of pioneering men.”

Meet The Men

actor and poet Arunoday Singh and chef Ranveer Brar — **On Arunoday:** Black knit, *Perona*; white knitted checked co-ord set, *Dash & Dot;* loafers, *Metro Shoes*. **On Ranveer**: White shirt, double-breasted jacket, and trousers, *Battle Harbour*; lace-up shoes, *Heel & Buckle*

To introduce the Gentlemen’s Edit, John Jacobs scouted for pioneering men who have been making a difference in their respective communities, all the while bringing a perspective shift on the idea of accomplishments, the concept of ‘hustle’ culture, and the notion of a fruitful life. Revealing the faces for the edit, Chawla continues, “With an insider’s lens on trailblazers such as actor and poet Arunoday Singh and chef Ranveer Brar, this campaign dives deep into what it means to be a true visionary.”

Chef Ranveer Brar has long cemented his name in the culinary world. From becoming a household name in Indian homes by hosting and judging various cooking shows to becoming the youngest executive chef at a five-star hotel, this Indian masterchef has broken shackles and how! A perfect fit for the new edit, the chef says, “I am excited to be a part of John Jacobs’ Gentlemen’s Edit. In a broad spectrum, success can mean many different things and the brand has uncovered those very nuances with this campaign! I hope the narrative encourages aspiring achievers to go beyond conventional norms and set their own terms of success.”

Actor Arunoday Singh, too, has walked a similar journey. Having been a part of many movies in the Hindi film industry and multiple web series on OTT platforms, the acting graduate has also forayed into the world of prose to pen down a compilation of poetry. With the Gentlemen’s Edit, the actor wishes to bring this multifarious persona to the fore. “Being associated with John Jacobs for Gentlemen’s Edit has been a great experience for me. Classic contemporary has always been my style, and this campaign deeply resonates with who I am,” he says.
