Yeah i did go for the Rugged west, I went for their D pocket because pattern seemed right and it ended up amazing from second try. First one went wrong and they got it fixed no problem at all. Im really happy with it. Quite heavy jacket that doesn’t feel heavy on the body as the pattern sits well. I hope to find some vintage aviator in future first i need to save up. I see them on Etsy sometimes and probably that will be way to go for me. Aero 30s half belt is really impressive, probably i could save up for it whit-in a year or two. Really helpful video

I agree for Vanson. It is impressive

This was a great help. I've been lurking on Ebay for some decent deals...I plan to get an Aero Hooch Hauler at some point, but want to ease in with a decent used/vintage piece for now. Good to know I'm not far off at least. Thanks!

i have a surplus german border police leather jacket in basically mint condition for like $150

My dad was working at a mortuary before I was born. Some dude wearing a “Brando,” was on a motorcycle with a full helmet. He crashed. A rock hit him perfectly in between the jacket, and helmet. Killed him. No blood though. My dad kept the jacket. Becoming little punk rock kids, my brother, and I took it.

Wish they had a more expressive collar roll on their button downs. Otherwise their products look good. I have a roped denim western shirt and their higher waist straight chinos. Both are sturdy and well made.

Where do you get these t-shirts from

Agree with others, it’s fair trade and if they do factory visits and keep checking up then it’s not a big deal. Ppl need to travel and see other parts of the world before assuming anything about where things are made and that stuff made here are OK. Look up pots and pans, 3M…but appreciate the debate and somewhat open minded conversation. We that.

Excellent video. Super interesting. Many thanks!

This is cool!...Great job!...I have a Schott A1 flight jacket (No fur) in black. (My uncle got that at a pawn shop in Manhattan in the 70's or 80's.).. I also have a knock off Perfecto.

Your channel is really helpful! I’m also 5’7” and after weighing the same weight for most of my adult life, in my mid-40s have put on 20 pounds, so am now trying to figure out how to dress in a slightly different shaped body. Are you able to say your weight in this video as a reference point? Thanks for the great content.

I like button up leather jacket, not zip. I like shallow pleat that goes all the way up to a fake epaulette, and a half belt. Bet you dont see those often, ive only seen in a movie the mummy returns

Give it back to the kid u took it from

If you ride a motorcycle with a jacket and it's comfortable, it's a motorcycle jacket.

"What Everyone Misunderstands About Leather Jackets", except you, I guess. Question: Do you ride motorcycles?

unrelated but what t-shirt are you wearing? love the way they fit.

The horsehide leather 11 minutes into video looks best. The one without a label with olive undertones

I love shirt collar and shallow pleats and half belts and buttons, rather than zip

cattleman blazer... i think you missed that

It’s Fonzie again. I really think you should rock an exaggerated pompadour when you do these videos. Love these vids

I like leather jacket with half belt across lower back. I always wondered what they're called or what they're for? Plus action back

I don't like slim jeans either but if you do you don't have to switch to Chelsea boots you can stile use ingeneers just use boot straps with them that's what they are for

I love wool.

Where is the italian accent?

Flannels are the only reason I thrift shop these days besides looking for books. I wear flannels and jeans all year round. I like flannels for the different colors and weights. My favorite is the Brixton Bowery flannel. They are good in the cold and work on the summer as well. I mostly go for browns and tans as to not get too hot in the sun. Some Bowery's are lighter weight, flimsy, the originals are good, I like the fabric.

What about leather trucker jackets?

Bought mine from the bike shop for riding, even comes with protection 😅 I'd say it qualifies 😁

I live thru humid sub-tropical summers thinking the same, until I discovered some paper-thin wife beaters, some linen/cotton short-sleeves shirt, and made good use of clippers/pins/elastic strings to shape and hold the top layer.

What’s that 1st red plaid cotton flannel you showed first?

Thanks for the shoutout dude! Flannels for life!😊

Filters ARE GHEY

This was so good. Great layman's delivery too.

I still cant figure out how to tuck in my flannels without them bunching and looking sloppy. Also, some people do give up in summer and just wear shorts. . .I am some people. Too damn hot in summer in southern California for me to bother. Lol

Great job not letting your autism hold you back!

Hey thanks! For 3.5 seasons I’ll always have wool as my first layer of defence, having it next to my skin makes anything I throw over it more comfortable.

The Tartan design goes back 1000s of years of our European Celtic Heritage and something to be celebrated..

Flannel shirts are great. Not underrated. Maybe expensive flannels are, IDK. I prefer to stick to Carhartt - not the softest, but very hard wearing - and splash out on wool garments. I’m working on a denim shirt currently and do find it fun as it goes through its phases. Basically, jeans for your top. It’s great. I wonder if some guys are reticent about the double denim thing and then lean towards flannel instead? Another option I can recommend are tattersall shirts. Sort of a British country look. But very nice under sweaters and tweed jackets.

i wish i could find a pair in stock for 800$ they are always sold out.

I just pick up "vintage" (ie 2nd/3rd/4th hand) chamois and wool shirts by Woolrich, LL Bean, Field & Stream, Pendleton whenever I come across them for decent price. I'll often double up on them or wear a wool jumper underneath/over the top. If i'm going to be out in the brush or anything then the flannel is a bit tougher against the scraps and scrapes than the wool is (unless its that heavyweight overshirt wool). I find the price of most first hand flannel shirts absolutely nonsensical. I've picked up nice shirts for anything between 50 cents and 30 dollars and they last for decades.

I see guys wearing some type of fleece vest over a dress shirt at the office. I’m thinking flannel shirts would look nicer so I just wear a flannel. I tried the vest over regular dress shirts but doesn’t make sense if it’s going to be hidden.

I just picked up a flannel from Imogene & Willie. Great quality.

Just picked up a Moleskin piece recently and its so nice.

agreed on the tag, the font looks cheap and normal people don't know the brands, so they look cheap LOL.

In my experience texture is king, and love my Sashiko Ori, Moleskin, and Kersey often more than my UHF's. Denim and Chambray being top of the lost as well. I own a bunch of Iron Heart, but ironically only one of their flannels, and it's a slubby. I love my UES flannels.

I'm old..Been wearing flannels since I was a kid in Philly in the 80s. My grandmom used to make them for me. She made me 4 of them..I would give anything to have those shirts now.

Should do a gingham/plaid video next. I find it impossible to wear those shirts without feelings stuffy

I would add moleskin to this. Could maybe lump it in with flannels since it’s brushed, but it seems to have a bit more structure. Indigofera makes a great one. On wool sweaters, they’re not all as scratchy as people say. I have like 5, I wear them most of the year (it’s cold here) and only 1 of those is itchy to the point I need a base layer. Aran Sweater Market and Howlin Knitwear make very soft wool sweaters.

That flannel ur wearing is lovely what brand is it

I’m surprised corduroy or moleskin wasn’t mentioned
