Fantastic video. My father was an engineer in the RAF. He was an expert mechanic and carpenter. He taught me and my older brothers how many a problem can be solved with patience and common sense. Sadly, he passed when I was 17. I was always a little jealous of my brothers who had more time with him being that much older than myself. The funny thing is, I’m 56 now and I’ve realised just how much I passively learnt from him through being around him. I miss him now as I always have but I’m so glad to have had such an amazing father. Merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours.

Barbour are still good quality and used by farmers. Belstaff look good and the old ones made in England are probably best quality of all. New ones made overseas quality can be hit and miss. Also the fit is really fitted now for tall skinny long arms models.

Good presentation, but it would have been nice if you'd addressed the waxed jacket "elephant in the room": how well does it breathe? Not all waxed jackets are created equal, and the fabric weight, wax type/application, design style (ie, slim fit vs relaxed), the number/presence/location of vent rivets, etc., all contribute to the comfort of a jacket that needs to do more than "look cool". I wouldn't consider buying one that didn't directly address this issue, and that means most of your choices aren't even contenders. (BTW, my Barbour never has this problem...)

I wore Military boots most of my life and was very happy with them. Out in civil life, I landed a job that involves a lot of digging and climbing ladders and poles. Just about everyone I work with recommended Red Wings for me so I bought a pair. First thing I noticed was they leaked like sandals when I plunked my foot into a ditch I was working near. Second thing is the lace hooks on the boot shaft bend and snap off very easily if they catch on anything. Literally, anything. Almost like pot metal. The store said they could take them in and repair them no problem. But it would take two weeks! What do I do for boots for two weeks??? I gave it another chance when the first pair wore down but this time I bought two pair. I don't pay much attention to model names or numbers. I just specified to the salesman, I need a minimum 9 inch shaft, insulated and waterproof. I don't care what they look like, I care how they protect my feet. Struck out again on both pairs. They leak like they have jungle boot drains in them. I'll wear them until they die in good weather, too much money invested, but I think they are terribly overrated. I hit gold with a pair of Cody James pull-ons. Comfortable, warm and true swimmers. I've stomped in and out of six inches of half frozen water for almost an hour and my feet stayed warm and dry. They're heavy and hard to break in but so worth it. Yeah, I'm a working slob, $300 is about as far as I can go for a pair of boots and that outlay makes me cringe.

OK, I have to say something. At first I saw that the video was over 17 minutes long and almost didn't click on it. Mr. Murawski, you made a 17 minutes video feel like a 5 minutes one, so keep on doing the great work, you were objective, to the point and yet very informative. Subscribed!

Waaay tutu difficult (yes, Pun intended), just: 1)Turn jean(s) inside out, 2)Load into the washing machine with one Tbsp. of whatever detergent personally using per jean, 3)Machine cold water temperature wash, 4)After wash/rinse cycle complete, remove and, 5)Hang inside out to drip dry outside in shaded breeze area. Finito. Because of the weight of the Raw/Selvedge cotton, the drying phase may take a couple if days. DONE. Color will keep for as long as jeans exist. The jeans will be clean, and so should you...

My dad passed when I was 12 from cancer, my grandpa was always my biggest male remodel and he was a badass. He did a lot of carpentry, hunting and had real old school masculine style. When he passed I decided to stop dressing like a high school kid and that when I found your channel and learned a lot from them. Since then I’ve learned a lot of other styles and hobbies. I’ve been doing carpentry myself since my grandpa passed down some of his tools to me and haven’t been in the workshop due to some waterproofing we had to do in the basement. Anyways this my long winded explanation that this video really makes me wanna get back in the shop and get it put back together to start making some stuff again! Thanks gents!

In the world of KZbin, you never know what will “land” with an audience... But one thing I can say, this story/series has purpose and was worth telling. For me it was less about the actual content but more the spark to reflect. This video motivated me to look within on how I can be a better father and certainly something I will be journaling about. I have a great relationship with my father and taught me to be creative, problem solve and work with my hands. I wouldn’t change anything. Many of ways I walk in the same footprints of my father and I hope to pass the same “lessons” onto my son. Be grateful, be great. This video was worth it. -Matt

I ordered a pair of these right after I watched this video. They arrived yesterday and I wore them all day long today, Christmas. Without a doubt a wonderful, comfortable well made boot. I ordered a 1/2 larger than my normal size because I have wide feet and need extra room in the toe box and I tend to wear thick socks, these boots fit perfectly. I'm very hopeful they will last me a long time because they feel solid and very well made. I cannot remember the last time I got a pair of boots that felt this good out of the box and I have a lot of boots.

Having your own ppe is a def bonus, not only is your stuff better than the junk they give you it also adds to the cool factor and makes you less a guber, dont know the model off top of my head but love my snapon ones cause they got a little seal around the eyes so less stuff falling through the gaps, probably got like 20 pairs of glasses some for daily use, some for specialty, some just as spares in the drawer for when i loose them or run over them with a truck...yes ive done that before 😅

In terms of flashlight I can NOT say this enough... I LOVE my Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA... First off, $45 on Amazon regular, frequently available on sale for less. Secondly, two way clip so you can carry it lens down but put it on the brim of your cap or hard hat. Third, these things are damn near indestructible... I've used it in rain, it works, I've dropped it in two feet of water, kept working, I've dropped it off a second story catwalk onto a warehouse concrete floor, still works... BEST part though, it can take 123, AA, or AAA batts which means if I'm working somewhere where the nearest WalMart is an hour away and the only place to get batteries is a Doller General or gas station, it doesn't matter what they have in stock I can pick up batteries for it.

working in the cold was tough. My hands would barely move when I moved them and we did have a heater that shot out hot heat but it was only in one area and you had to go put your body next to it to warm up real quick. I think the worst part of that when I would wear gloves the other guys said I can do more without them on. Then I'd say I cant move my hands as fast if they are directly cold> these guys were used to the cold and I was new but they didn't understand my POV and it was hard to understand theirs since I was trying to be fast as possible.
