21 Menswear Best Buys this Black Friday!

[@waterfordrs22]

Props for that Bleu de Chauffe bag, the Cabine. It’s quite stellar, highly recommend. It’s got superb build quality and makes for a comfortable carry. It’s inspired by dry bags which I’ve used over the years bicycle touring and paddling. It’s a convenient setup, very functional, offers easy access and if the bag isn’t heavily loaded, you simply roll the top down more to keep the size tidy. Not as quick to access as a typical Ortlieb pannier, but beautiful.

My favorite thing in really cold weather is a trucker over a Hooded cotton jacket, warm and really love the look of it, especially when experimenting with colors

[@CeeAreDee]

That’s a good way to layer up and was my go to for years. Been trying to break the hoodie habit recently however.

Having been a diehard Nirvana fan, I spent the 90's with no less than 12 flannels at any given time. Even now, I have about 8. I still find myself scrolling flannels. It might be a problem. That being said, I think, hands down, the best overall EDC pocket knife has to go to Kershaw. I've owned quite a few because I always end up going to a bar, or venue and having to leave it outside and forgetting about it. They have some of the most sleek, thin and light pocket knives I've ever carried. Good list brother!

[@devinhurt7698]

I own 3 of the andersen-andersen sweaters and they're amazing. also one of the hats but I haven't broken the hat in yet

[@CeeAreDee]

I want to get another one also. Maybe even the full zip.

[@scuba_tron5332]

@@CeeAreDee Very cool, thanks!

[@alexanderdylanthomas1891]

I agree with you about your general feelings on Filson, but I have the tote and use it every day. It is perfectly designed, made of functional materials that age beautifully and has become a beloved everyday companion. Just get one, you’ll not be disappointed…

[@douglasyong6939]

Is Evisu and Momotaro suitable for younger people, because of the painted bits? Your take please..

[@zekeyeager1458]

Not really, I mean yea it might look a bit more “bold” and out there but honestly the maker of Momotaro is an old man who likes to be unique. Ain’t nothin wrong with that.

[@jimmydgrant]

Black Friday this years just feels like we’re paying retail prices from a year ago. Depressing.

[@CeeAreDee]

Yeah. It’s a different world now.

[@harrybrown7680]

I bought a Lee 101 S on Black Friday for 30% less

[@adamsouthard1155]

This is how good the list is. I watch and admire the clothing even though I live in the Southeast US - far Southeast - and the amount of time that I could wear any one of these items without pouring sweat is measured in weeks. Few enough weeks it would fit on one hand. You should definitely do a climate change/summer edition of this list.

[@CeeAreDee]

Haha. Good point Adam. I tend to look at the winter stuff as keeping th cold out is foremost on my mind here in Berlin 😂

[@neilziesing7761]

Since I went to a Sigg water bottle, i have never used plastic, or glass again.

[@CeeAreDee]

Those look great!

[@S__123]

Isn't it illegal to be carrying around a knife with you?

[@CeeAreDee]

In my homeland (the UK) it is. But then again. We can’t even be trusted with glasses in pubs. In Germany it’s allowed up to a certain size. I think the width of your hand. Other places I’m not too sure.

[@S.L.1211]

Lost & Found is literally a 5 minute walk from where I live, so I might have to go check out that sweater. There’s another shop near here your viewers might like called Park & Province. Also, really dig that shirt your wearing - the pockets are pretty cool.

[@CeeAreDee]

Ahh yeah. I know the guys. Super nice store looks like. And the two of them are fitted!

[@yugioh887]

Whats the denim shirt you are wearing in the video?

[@CeeAreDee]

It's the new Western from Benzak. benzakdenimdevelopers.com/collections/shirts/products/bcs-01-western-shirt-8-oz-tinted-denim?ktk=UEdKczZRLTJjYjc4MDg1YjY1 Full review coming on Sunday. ;)

[@yugioh887]

@@CeeAreDee Thanks for replying! Cant wait for your review Sunday! There arnt a lot of denim shirt reviews, i think it will be a great idea to talk whats some great denim shirt on the market right now :)

[@steaklover948]

They have a lot of shaggy wool sweaters and hats at J Press store in New York and online.

[@Crewdbal]

De Bonne Facture looks great but also unaffordable lol

[@CeeAreDee]

Yeah, it is costly for sure. But such amazing quality.

[@blueband8114]

Hmm, colour me old fashioned...but do men really carry tote bags? I thought they were for granny's and Roy Cropper.

[@didamnesia3575]

Matt is cool. Yes I am. What about me? Both of ya'll

[@CeeAreDee]

Ah. I’m not cool. But I do get to talk about cool stuff. So I guess I’m cool adjacent.

[@mindcache5650]

Not for me. Sweaters - Icelandic. Extreme weather coat, M65 duck down military parka. Ski jacket Norwegian or Finnish. Dress shirts Sea Island Cotton. Shoes British . Boots American. Jeans Japanese or American . Short collared shirts - Golf 4 way stretch . Field coat Barbour.. Leather jacket , Schott Perfecto. Casual jacket Belstaff.

[@CeeAreDee]

It’s a good list.

[@mindcache5650]

@@CeeAreDee Painstaking research . Chinese jeans don’t fit my fat ass.

[@elilaztan]

I love your videos but I am going to mention the elephant in the room: peacoats. What is more timeless than a peacoat? And you have just ignored them all this time. Don't you like them? What's wrong with you, Matt? ;-)

[@CeeAreDee]

😂 oh lots wrong with me, least of which is my fragrant ignoring of the peacoat. To be honest, I love them! I think there’s not much that’s more sartorially solid than a peacoat. But I just rinsed them a bit hard in the whole post lumbersexual, pre peaky blinders times. So I kinda have a blind spot with them.

[@jamesrobertson976]

Great collection in this excellent video. Would love to see more coverage on cruelty free options; no leather no wool, no animal products whatsoever.

[@CeeAreDee]

Sounds like an interesting challenge because if I’m honest, a lot of the options that are vegan I think are inherently flawed. From the production to the motivation to the product itself. Reading that back it sounds overly negative. Lemme think on it and see what I can come up with or is there a product category that you’re particularly interested in?

[@jamesrobertson976]

@@CeeAreDee I totally agree with you. And you do not sound negative. In menswear, the "Vegan" versions often miss the mark (although "Brave Gentlemen" make nice pieces). That's the subtle difference between "vegan" versions and cruelty-free. I'm not as interested in the Vegan version of any particular item but rather I'm always searching for quality items that have avoided animal byproducts in their production all together.

[@dark_gravity_edc]

You did so good until you went to Huckberry for your knife. They're way overpriced for the materials you get. I understand you're not a knife guy, so don't recommend them. If someone buys that Wesn they'll be getting ripped off. It's like comparing Armani jeans to Iron Heart. They're both jeans but one is overpriced with poor materials.

[@owenhkeys]

Yep. Kershaw, Spiderco, Benchmade, or ProTech Are my go tos in increasing price range.

[@robertjimenez1611]

100% , knifejoy, DLT trading and many others have better options at better prices.
