15 Things Every Man Should Own

[@gwaddles]

Every man should own a solid library with a Bible, a Dictionary and an atlas…..some books that will inspire and cussed him to aspire to greatness. Everyman should own a journal and a good pen to write down ideas or note items or experiences he needs to document or that he wants to remember

[@anthonyduggan722]

1. Well stocked tool kit 2. A Navy Blazer 3. Cast Iron Skillet 4. A quality watch 5. Classic pair of sunglasses 6. Pocket knife 7. Weekend (duffel) bag 8. 2 pairs of dress shoes (black & brown) 9. Dopp kit 10. Comfortable (subjectively) mattress 11. One killer suit 12. Signature scent (referring to cologne) 13. Slim minimalist wallet 14. Recipe book 15. Passport

[@yankeedoodle6293]

Thank you 👍👍👍

[@r.casagrande8689]

Don't do lists like this, this does not help Jeff, he can earn some more money when people watch the full video. The content is awesome, plus the way he presents it it's really nice, you watch it without getting bored.

[@carpediem3593]

I would add, 16. A fine Pen - All Gentlemen should have a fine writing instrument. 17. A nice journal, like a moleskin journal. These are stylish accessories for all serious business men.

[@georgelush1998]

I do all the cooking (and the grocery shopping.) I inherited a Griswold cast iron frying pan from my grandmother. The thing is well over 100 years old. It’s a cherished family heirloom. Keep it clean with just water and a plastic scrub pad, put it back on the stove, heat it up on medium to evaporate the water, let it cool, wipe it down with cooking oil and it will last more than a lifetime.

[@TheStyleOG]

Yes indeed!

[@myroadtours6147]

Good video! 1) owning tools and knowing how to use them are two different things. Learn to use what you have. 2) A nice Navy blazer comes in handy for sure...I probably should go buy one one of these years. 3) Hard to go wrong with a cast iron skillet...but keep in mind, they come with a specific way of cleaning them. 4) I have one watch...only one watch and I wear it once every 4-5 yrs lol I'm self employed, homeowner (house paid off) and 3 vehicles paid off about to buy a 4th in full. Wearing a watch may scream responsible, just know there are some exceptions. 5) Shades are another good accessory for guys and their functional. I can go over board a little here and owned a small collection. 6) I would absolutely be lost without my pocket knives. I use them for everything, its like the most versatile tool! This one comes with a couple warnings though, know your state and local laws as well as how to handle a knife. And hospitals don't like their patients having them. I was hospitalized for COVID and security had to lock my knife up lol 7) Another Item I would be lost without, my weekend bag! The weekend bag is the next best thing since sliced bread! 8) In the past, I used to do only have one brown and one black pair of dress shoes. I don't how many I have know but its grown a lot. 9) I'm falling short on this one. I used to have several nice doc kit bags but who knows where they are now. Better get on this soon. 10) for sure! You spend like 8hrs a day sleeping...may as well have the best mattress you can afford. 11) Back in my Dallas days, I had to have a closest full of suits, summer, winter, business, business casual, etc. Now days I just keep one single black suit. I'm kinda a fan of the blazer and dress jeans. 12) I usually pickup 1-2 of the top scents from some place like Macy's. Oh man, so the last one i bought they was out of smaller bottles and I really wanted that scent. So I bought this huge bottle! Probably a life time supply lol 13) I'm new to the whole slim wallet and I love it! Bought a couple different LV's for my suit and ended up using them every day. I'm not going back! 14) Every guy needs 2-3 signature type dishes but sure, having a couple cook books are nice as well. 15) Ugh, need to renew my passport. I have it all done up, just ran into a ton of problems...COVID blah.

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate the detailed input!

[@zurn41]

11:57 A Swiss Army Knife. I've owned the same 12 function model for 31 years. It has served me well. A quality Pocket Multi-Tool is a good alternative. (Leatherman, Gerber, etc.)

[@05Rudey]

A great list, especially the tools & tool box, every man should strive to know the basic workings of his home. Perhaps a book of basic household repairs/maintenance that has tasks like fixing a leaky tap, shutting off water, installing a light fixture or wall plug socket etc to stash next to the toolbox.

[@TheStyleOG]

I like it!

[@Gregsgreatfood]

I haven't traveled out of the US since I got out of the Navy. I wholeheartedly agree on the passport. I need to get one soon. I have the rest of this list.

[@JoseRuiz-ng3qs]

Great video and value. Thanks for posting this. My list of extras not in the video is composed of: A) A shoe Shining Kit B) Hunting & Fishing Tools C) Quality First Aid Kit D) Leather Wallet or Quality Satchel (not a backpack) E) Quality Shaving Kit F) Daily "To Do List G) A Copy of at least five life changing/guiding Books My List Warrior Books A) The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi B) Rifleman Dodd by C.S. Forester Politician Book C) The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli Philosophy Book D) Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

[@CallMeTheWatcher]

Salute to you Jeff for the primo list! Adding on, I would say every man should own: 1. A barbecue grill and know how to work it. When a man controls his grill, he exudes confidence. 2. Jumper cables/battery charger. Men are mostly assumed to have automotive knowledge. Have these items and you can be a superhero to those in distress. 3. A leather jacket. Trust that you will add many swagger points to your wardrobe with this cool weather classic. Keep up the good work, Jeff! Always look forward to your presentations. Peace be to you!

[@TheStyleOG]

Appreciate the add ons!

[@therockgodabides]

Jeff, I think every guy should own a couple of quality books! 📚 As a writer and reader myself, I can’t stress enough how much more interesting having some well rounded reading makes a person seem.

[@brownpunk1794]

I cant read😑

[@TheStyleOG]

Totally agree!

[@abz7509]

I would say just add a kindle . It’s small and you can have access to vast amounts of books on the go.

[@GSnugg]

@Respectfully Speaking Podcast It may go well traveling inside the weekend bag, or on your trips across the world.

[@bryananderson3772]

Books are great but they're certainly not in the top 15 for a man to own.

[@randolphmanning3674]

What about medical insurance/Reg. Doctor, 2. Casual flex/soft bottom shoe, 3. Savings/investment accounts: 401k/stocks…,4. Emergency contact, 4. A. Living will/Beneficiary, 5. Nice complete set of cookware besides a cast iron skillet, 6. A nice set 2-4-6 matching plate/bowl/cup & flatware set, 7. Nice selection of adult beverages; wine/scotch/vodka…etc! Soooo many basics more important than a cast iron skillet in my opinion

[@TheStyleOG]

Appreciate the input!

[@wfsmithiv51]

Great list and I agree. I’m happy to say that I’m 15 for 15. Really thankful for your advice and validation

[@pierregeorge9050]

Style OG, A very detailed list my brother. The one item I need is the cook book. This can help me be more versatile in the kitchen. Every man needs some shoes tress for your dress shoes and sneakers. Thanks again for dropping the knowledge. Salute to the family.

[@edwardpack3294]

I recommend you think about a chef you like and look at a book by them. One of my favorites and one I reference a lot is one by Emerill.

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute Pierre!

[@Raymond0595]

A good chef knife or a set of good knives is a must have tool if you do cooking at home.

[@TheStyleOG]

Agreed!

[@bigroy38]

[@ashtonbullock]

Hey Jeff! As usual, a very solid list. I have no complaints. If I could add something to that list, life insurance or a living will. Every man needs to have these documents up to date with everything going on in today's world. To quote Marlon Brando from "The Godfather": "Men can't afford to be careless about these things."

Love the videos. Very helpfully for a newly 40 yr old man. I am lacking five items but will be getting them this week !!

[@TheStyleOG]

Glad you like them!

[@williemakeit2346]

Very comprehensive list brother. I’d add to it the following: Bible, grooming/shaving kit, a bank account, a place all his own (be it apartment or a house), driver’s license, vehicle.

[@edwardpack3294]

Jeffrey, Great comprehensive list of the basics every man needs. Great the you included a fragrance which is so overlooked. A stylish man also needs boots (dress, Chelsea and Chukkas) but you cover that very, very well. Thanks and Salute!

Now its time to make sure and get your self a good oldschool new material and stylish pocket knife. Kick the black on black tactical knive and look at some thing like a Péna Trapper or a small Chris Reveef sebenza with a classic wood inlay,like a bog oak. A pockit knive can be matched to your outfit aswell.

[@dholmesjr]

Great list. I took notes from this video just to see how many items I didn't have... With that being said, I need to purchase a navy blue blazer and a pocket knife... I also agree that having a passport is a must have... Thanks again Jeff. Salute.

[@dm9078]

A well stocked tool box (with the knowledge on how to use it.)

[@neilhumphreys2477]

A great list o which i had most apart from Skillet, Pocket Knife and a good duffel bag (have a crappy one). One item to add I think every man should have is a well stocked bar with standard alcohol and mixes. Never know when you will bring a lady home for a night cap.

I own almost everything you show but whatever I do when I put something in my suv and go downtown indy for dinner I always get my suv broken in so I am moving away from Americans hopefully this will help

[@kalstonii]

To add to the weekend bag: try to get the matching bag and bookbag set. I got a set heres what I do 👉🏽 bookbag: holds laptop/power cords, passport, cell phone, bottle of water, etc. The bag, as stated is for the clothes. They usually allow you to have a carry on and a “lap bag” (bag that can fit on your person) on an airplane so this works. Plus, matching set definitely turns womens heads
