Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

[@agoogleviewer]

I wouldn't count your fathers filson... its your fathers top#1, and it's a son's tax, you should keep 1 more

[@Josephk754]

Good point

[@Muscovy7]

Absolutely agreed

[@Richard_Lush]

Yeah it shouldn’t count

[@KingAndrei7]

Jesus Christ loves you brother. He died for us and He is coming back soon.

[@freedomvan2970]

It's no mystery that your channel has had such success. Not only is the subject matter great but you have fantastic humor and personality. I love when you drop a new video because I don't know anyone in real life to discuss this stuff with, and watching your vids feels like hanging out with friends

[@KingAndrei7]

Jesus loves you brother. Repent and believe in Him and He will save you.

[@mdlipps]

I wish I had Only 5 Jackets. I have only 4. One of which is my V2 Heat Straps Workhorse. Love that jacket.

[@snuffspoon]

right there with you, 5th one is gonna be a Y2 sometime in the spring

[@bfettrules1239]

Weatherwool folks. Probably the best jacket on the market.

[@KingAndrei7]

Jesus loves yall. He died for us all. Repent and believe in Him and He will save you.

[@xxflamezxx1able]

Your fathers jacket shouldn’t count as one, go back and save that Field Leather !

[@jkamp]

Only 5 jackets! Oh man, that would be so hard for me, too. Even though my collection isn’t as premium as yours, I have quite a few that I love. I think my list would be… Brave Star Onyx Sherpa, Iron & Resin Rambler, Schott 370 Duke, Schott P637 Storm, and… ugh. Probably Schott 530 racer just because it’s so versatile. Maybe Taylor Stitch boss duck Workhorse.

[@rickjensen1480]

Wow. That was rugged. Your father and I were on the same page years ago. I have a Mac Cruiser from 1975 in Bufalo plaid in size 38 which I can't wear because I'm old and not a 38 anymore. So I have another in 40 which I can wear from the early 90s. Your vids keep old guys like me in tune with what's in and what's out. Great stuff.

[@KingAndrei7]

Jesus Christ loves you brother. He died for us all. All you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and repent from your sins and He will save you.

[@daianspahava8279]

I would have a variety more like 7-8 cause I love Levi’s denim jackets and the various styles, also that I love denim shirts as well, also that I’m guilty of always wearing a denim jacket even when it’s hot and I love the Levi’s corduroy jackets and the work jackets they make as well

[@ItsJustThompson]

We definitely have got to do a Work Jacket one as well. As a fellow Blue collar guy with a jacket "problem" I too am going through my wardrobe and getting rid of alot and I need your inspiration. Plus I'm trying to get down to 4 jackets TOTAL between work and casual

[@CarlMurawski]

Damn! Four total? That’s bold dude!

[@razor6552]

My four casual jackets are one black leather jacket, one olive denim with a plaid lining and corduroy collar, and two Harringtons.

[@tiagodvt]

All I have to say is wow, those are incredible looking jackets. Coming from someone which most expensive jacket is a Barbour Bedale, the quality of those jackets can really be seen through the screen. Opened my eyes to various brands. Thanks!

[@samuelquach9728]

This was a fun different type of video! It was cool seeing Only 5 Jackets being chosen

[@workingclassgarage]

I feel like this is really going to make you appreciate and cherish those 5 jackets so much more. Having less really makes it feel like you have more.

[@splashpit]

I have three of those L C King jackets in blue that I rotate in winter , I warm up quickly and usually wear a long sleeve Henley underneath. There was a missing top end jacket from your rack that you reviewed years ago said it was a grail piece that you always wanted .

[@michaelshearer3559]

This just reaffirms a new jacket is coming. Can't wait to see what you got!

[@TylerSnyder305]

I saw the cruiser coming. Even if it wasn't an heirloom, you gotta have a good wool piece especially a cruiser or hunting coat in a plaid. I actually have 3 different wool cruiser / hunting coats in red and black buffalo check and my favorite in green and black buffalo check. Wool jackets are definitely my favorite.

[@karlenglewood8940]

Hey Carl, the thing you mentioned about jackets that have excess fabric for moving is known as an action back. This was originally something developed for sports coats for hunting purposes. They're now a rarity as most companies don't want to pay for the extra material cost unless they have to.

[@tarutrit]

as far as jackets, i just have a few basic jackets & hoodies & such, but this one dark-grey flannel of mine is one i love to wear any time it's not a million degrees out. makes me feel awesome. i'd love to get to a place where i've Only 5 Jackets

[@Justin-wm6mi]

I bought a blue ranchwear blanket lined denim chorecoat from boot barn for $100. So far I've been impressed. I rotate it with my carhart blanket lined shirt-jacket. For the price the details are good.

[@airmobiledivision7759]

I really need to shave my wardrobe down to only five jackets. The same could be said of my mass of tee shirts, sweaters, hell, everything. Good for you for actually going through with it, Carl. I’m not sure I could, especially with so many pieces of that quality.

[@rlwinegarden1]

If I only had 5 jackets. Since I moved to Florida all of my great winter stuff just hangs in the closet, I am tempted to get a place in NC just to have some winter weather to visit for part of the winter and of course to get out of the sweltering summers.

[@tnan123]

Only 5 Jackets would be hard to whittle down to with that selection. Such amazing pieces.

[@s-zo5641]

Cool. I've been decluttering as well. Only keeping the stuff that really makes me feel lika a million bucks. I don't limit myself to a certain number of pieces but I'm selling everything that isn't perfect or near perfect. If the sleeves are a tad bit short or smth it's going. If I don't wear it much, eventho it might be a super cool piece, it's going. It's kinda heartbreaking but also a nice process.

[@TheDieyet]

My favorite Jacket ever is a millitary surplus 300 classic polartec. Big pockets , warm easy to clean. I bought 2 they are the best.

[@xxflamezxx1able]

I don’t think I could ever have only 5 jackets, but my top 3 right now are a schott moto jacket, a Tellason coverall jacket, and a vintage made in Italy cashmere long overcoat.

[@eelstrength1514]

Only five jackets would be hard to choose indeed from your collection. Love that red cast

[@brendanmurphy6702]

Loved the video. Early on in my “Own Less, Own Better” life so I don’t have to cut down to Only 5 Jackets yet. Great picks!!

[@matthewcartlidge3564]

Have a great day Carl!

[@MattieXMoto]

Carl...you need to get wider/broader hangers for a few of your pieces. The denim jacket for one. The hanger is causing that hump at the shoulder. Believe it or not if that sat there for 6 months it would be hard to reverse. Same thing with your heavy coats. The b3 bomber hanger is also changing the jackets shape. PS i also purged but i only could get down to 6 jackets and 3 coats. Its tough because in 4 seasons climates you need more.

[@bfettrules1239]

I’d like to give a shout out to heat straps (I have nothing from them but want something and will pull the trigger eventually), Railcar fine goods and of course Weatherwool. These brands are really great for the classic workwear look in apparel.

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Wow I have many jackets too ,but good on you for making the tough choices. For what it’s worth good picks !

[@mudgeon6826]

Folsom rugged twill cruiser looks nice. American trench has a similar twill jacket called the landing jacket in that same vibrant red color that I think looks outstanding. Only 5 jackets

[@mroinsno]

I hope this year you try more gear from Kuhl. I have been really loving their pants and I’m interested in their jackets

[@tylerk7519]

Only 5 Jackets! Very good vid Carl, tough to watch you get rid of the field leathers jacket!

[@johnjameson523]

Hey Carl, would love to see some more of your Good, Better, Best videos. Your awesome, thank you.

[@CarlMurawski]

I really do need to do more of those....

[@johnjameson523]

@@CarlMurawski It was a great series you started, and in my opinion your channel is one of the only ones that talks about the working man's style both on and off the job. It's all still relevant, and we the viewers enjoy being able to see a working man's insight on the items you cover, aswell as your opinion on them. Keep up the great work Carl.

[@BuenoReviews]

As I just pulled the trigger on the Satchel & Page 🤣 Did you not wear it mainly because of the sleeves? Love your content, man. Like others have said, I purchased the S&P BECAUSE of your review from 4 years ago.

[@joshuamiller8984]

Only five jackets! New to the boot journey, but I should probably trim down my jacket collection as well

[@minnesota-hk1vp]

Thank You for sharing! Yes work jackets

[@Daywalker222]

I would of kept that Freenote Denim Jacket and Field Idaho. Can't believe you letting go these 2 bangers and they are my size!

[@Jkorchak]

Love the review on those jackets! Only 5 Jackets

[@CigarBen]

Only 5 jackets. That would tough for me. I wouldn’t count your dad’s jacket either. That’s a family heirloom.

[@DocBuzzkill]

Shocked to see the Field’s leather jacket go! Having watched your video on how you custom ordered it, too many times, and almost ordered one myself. I wish you had gone into more on why you want to sell it. You said you wear it but what is it, apart from already having the other Fields jacket, that makes you suddenly want to sell it? The fit? The style? Cheers for an awesome channel 🙌

[@jayson_da_ruler]

I am not sure if i can pick only 5 jackets. But i like your focused purpose driven decision making.

[@Nicholas-V]

I love Tanuki, I’ve got one of their black Type 3 jackets.

[@connorgrabowski4549]

Only 5 jackets would definitely be a difficult task with my own jackets, and especially your collection.

[@carnold.knowledge]

You should definitely do a video on thinning down your work jackets. But don’t limit yourself to a number. Maybe a percentage is better.

[@grinchproductions6547]

Hey Carl if the Satchel & Page jackets are available please let me know. Especially if they are XL or 2X since these jackets run small. Thx

[@Smittenmocha]

Only 5 jackets definitely sounds more difficult than only 5 boots. I think I’d struggle with “only 5 henleys”, loves those in the fall and winter!

[@mikeaaronnewman1305]

I like jackets and don't have nearly the collection you have (had). I think I could go to Only 5 Jackets pretty easily, though it would be sad to get rid of a couple...and I'd definitely cheat and put my Columbia polyfill and rain shells back together as one piece (how I bought it) to get a two-for-one.

[@habl00pep]

I feel your pain with the majority of denim jackets. I am always filled with optimism and excitement until the reality of when they are donned. Only five jackets………. I wish😊

[@joshuaketner5186]

What an awesome collection of Only 5 Jackets!

[@lucioaguilariv9910]

Only 5 Jackets - Excellent video, Carl! Lots of tough decisions in action!

[@austin6946]

I would love to have to whittle it down to only 5 jackets! I’ve only got 2 jackets, a casual jacket and a work jacket. I definitely want to build up my collection.

[@Steveocubed]

Only 5 Jackets - so tough to whittle down jackets - I could see your pain but you did great! :)

[@DarkFire515]

I've got a think for good quality jackets. I can totally feel you pain picking only 5 to keep!

[@zmurrro]

I wish I would have such a cool collection of only 5 jackets!

[@Ironbeard.]

Only 5 jackets, Thanks for the videos Carl they’ve been extremely helpful in finding quality clothing

[@CarlMurawski]

Happy to help!

[@Hagall999]

How about reviewing Lost Worlds' Downtown Car Coat and/or Suburban heavy-weight horsehide jackets? Thanks for your fantastic reviews and videos.

[@dbass1955]

Only 5 jackets. I could really use the funds for some high quality clothing. That looked tough to do. You're a good man, I'm not sure I could get rid of all those really nice jackets. Love your content Carl!

[@CarlMurawski]

I appreciate that!

[@jeremyl.7563]

After watching this, I got to thinking of the one jacket I didn't get and I really wish I had. The Patriot from the colab between Heat Straps and Nicks. Ironically when they first released it I just didn't like it. Then I saw another picture which made me completely change my mind and I was to late poof it was gone with a quickness.

[@jonathanlewandowski]

What size is your Connecticut jacket determining if it's a good fit for me.

[@garrettmueller9818]

Only 5 jackets, I only have two both because of this channel! The Patagonia work jacket and the HeatStraps chief coat with the leather collar from Nicks

[@Vickeder]

Only 5 Jackets means more room for vests! Happy fall Carl!

[@PizzaHomie]

I'm curious about your process for selling your unwanted jackets. I also have a few quality articles of clothing that I don't wear anymore and need to sell. I'm just not sure the best way to go about it. Thanks Carl!

[@CarlMurawski]

Well I'm lucky enough to have my Patrons and Discord with a bunch of people who like this stuff. Outside of that I think social media groups are best.

[@adrianrobinson7953]

Mine would be my carhartt fr insulated jackets (any)I own several thoe and my high vis refrgiwear extreme with my milwaulkee hoodie.dont like to be cold and since I work out side it’s gets cold in winter here in Baltimore!

[@drewhollingsworth4793]

Only 5 Jackets, for sure something I have been putting off as well. I have 2 or 3 i really actually wear and 4 or 5 more that I occasionally wear because I like them and make an excuse to wear. The rest are pretty much closet decorations that I haven’t parted with.

[@PumpingLead]

Only 5 jackets. Here I am looking at waxed canvas, now you have me rethinking everything.

[@Iamjustdanny]

I don't think I could do Only 5 Jackets right now. I do have probably 8, so I can probably let it linger for a bit longer. That being said, the 5 you picked are awesome! Especially the Field Leathers one. I love the leather on that jacket, but it's just not cold enough in California to wear it.

[@BlasterDavo]

Looking forward to the workwear jackets video!

[@CarlMurawski]

Coming soon!

[@SeptienPatterson]

I'm never getting rid of my Taylor Stitch Long Haul. I need to wear it more

[@CarlMurawski]

Do you need another? Maybe Greencast Selvage?

[@victormcpeek5384]

Only 5 jackets Keep up the great videos 🎉!! Thanks 😊

[@CarlMurawski]

Thanks! Will do!

[@pauljakubowski4322]

Only 5 Jackets. I only wish I was your size so that I could possibly get access to the Freenote Cloth RJ2. What a great jacket!!

[@optictrap]

That Idaho is gorgeous!

[@shreyanshjain5871]

Great collection. Real hard to choose Only 5 jackets.

[@rpkiller2489]

Yeah that's the annoying thing about higher priced brands. They seem to not put much thought into mobility, I have ONE jacket that has a bi swing back, from iron and resin. Only got like three pairs of pants that have a gusseted crotch and articulated knees.

[@michaellumpkinss7368]

Carl , you have to review the Freenote cloth riders jacket in tumbleweed !!!! You’re missing out !!!!

[@kennethchrzanowski6165]

Thank you, Carl. Are you sticking to Only 5 Jackets moving forward or is this a one time purge and you plan on filling the rack again? And I think you could have kept Dad's Filson just 'cause...it didn't have to count towards the 5.

[@tinytanks01]

I think I need to purge my closet as well and keep only 5 jackets. I don’t even use them all and my taste has changed so much over the years

[@elmaestro35]

Job well done with this video, and only keeping 5 jackets is not easy lol I’m not sure I could part with any of my jackets.

[@tarasmathers7423]

I love a good jacket, and like yourself I have way too many. It's just too easy because there are so many cool jackets out there. Every time I start groping one, the wife says the same thing......"You already have too many jackets!!!" SMH. The struggle is real my friend. If only I could get my collection down to only 5 jackets. I just cant see it right now. Just not ready to let go yet. All the best

[@danielbigelow8704]

only 5 jackets. definitely hard to do! i got mine down to 10. great video!

[@MikasaAckerman-zu8jj]

Only 5 Jackets - i love your style dude

[@robyn3349]

The first jacket with the rip? Just needs a bit more distressing and it will be perfect!

[@memelord3348]

Loving this series, workwear is meant to be worn and you can only wear it so much if you got many jackets. Anyway, solid rotation Glad you only kept 5 jackets

[@nuj427]

I came to the video knowing full well you weren't going to sell the mackinaw cruiser of course lol. Carl, for years I always wanted a mackinaw cruiser my self, and half a year ago I finally won one for really cheap! Question, do you also put these wool jackets into a moth proof garment bags?

[@arit93]

I just bought a Filson waxed cruiser. If you ever fly into or out of SeaTac beware of the Folsom store in the N terminal. I don’t think I’ll be allowed in that terminal unchaperoned anymore. But now I have only 5 jackets. Also speaking of jackets. Have yiu ever reviewed jackets from Coronado leather? I suspect the quality is iffy but since your true classic video I’ve seen nothing but ads for these jackets. If you review them perhaps you can scare them off too 😊

[@pepleatherlab3872]

One for work summer. One for work winter. One for special summer events (dates.) One for special winter events ( dates.) Done. Four coats, complete coverage. 🍺👍 Cheers!

[@kfung4]

Jackets are so hard to choose, unless they don’t fit or torn , otherwise I usually keep them, they don’t take up that much space

[@laxmitty21]

Right now I have only 5 jackets. To be honestly I think I’m going to be swapping some out (more realistically adding more) and I think that Field Leathers jacket needs to be part of my wardrobe

[@christianbejarano2963]

Only 5 Jackets, that would be tough but I am definitely keeping my Himmel and Mack. I'll take them to the grave lol

[@Bran3544]

Only 5 jackets - love that freenote!

[@lemon265]

Im moving at the moment and decided to keep Only 5 Jackets too... It is really hard ngl

[@zwaimatika6354]

"Only 5 jackets" I really enjoyed this episode, I don't usually comment I only enjoy your content quietly and I move along

[@bngr_bngr]

I just found a Mackinaw jacket at the thrift store for $18. It was perfect except for two missing buttons. Now to search for buttons. The store was freezing so as soon as I put it on it was warm. I also have plenty of jackets. I can’t imagine letting one of them go.

[@Newspeak.]

You might have some luck contacting filson and asking if they can send ya some replacement buttons for it or just sending it into them for repair. What an awesome find. I dream of finding one randomly at a thrift store but I live in Portland Oregon and there are way too many people here making their living picking through the goodwill bins.

[@bngr_bngr]

@@Newspeak. thanks for the advice. I forgot I sent them a bag with a broken zipper. They sent me a replacement bag. I randomly went to a Goodwill store at night and there it was. I can see why people pay so much for these jackets but never could justify buying a new one.

[@andrewapathy3769]

"Only Five Jackets!" awesome video per usual!

[@CarlMurawski]

Yes! Thank you!

[@michaelpeters5696]

Really thought you were going to stretch it to 6 when your dad's wool came up. I've had to do this kind of culling many times before(military moves) so I relate to the feel. luck bro. -Only 5 jackets-

Only 5 jackets - some very tough choices but the final choices are all gems in the jacket world! Therapy for a jacket addict like me.

[@RodasReviews]

Congratulations on scaling down your beautiful jacket collection to only 5 jackets!

[@TartuWolfEE]

Would have definitely prioritized the FL Idaho over the Himel Heron. The RJ2 is also tough to let go. Otherwise good calls I'd say!

[@jt1559]

Five jackets is a great idea and one that I am trying fklor: 1. Mac Raincoat, 2. Harrington, 3. Brown leather, 4. Navy/blue sportscoat and 5. Charcoal wool car coat. This is easier when you don't live somewhere that doesn't get too cold in winter.

[@ericksnow2767]

I wish I could buy your Montgomery Jacket. I’ve been eyeballing that one for a while. Only 5 Jackets.

[@cgbaird2]

Only 5 jackets - I agree with others that said the Filson should not count toward the 5 total...good luck either way!
