I’m Australian and bought three pointer brand LC King jackets on a whim while on holidays six years ago two solid blue and one blue with fisher stripe top pockets , wear the two solid blue ones in rotation all winter and the other one on weekends for casual use and never seen anyone else wear one. Love them and can see me getting another six years out of them.

Thanks for sharing!

I like the stronghold chore coats…..they come in blue,green,cream,brown…..stronghold is based in California…..Lee 101 chore is nice….I like climax a brand out of Thailand very similar to iron heart

[@themancaveclub]

Yes! Stronghold is super nice!

[@johneroyale]

I love my LC King chorecoat when they still made them under the "Pointer Brand" name.

[@themancaveclub]

Yes, I’ve had my eye on one on eBay!!

[@jonathanvermillion7263]

Love this! Chore jackets rock!

[@xxflamezxx1able]

I love the traditional look of a chore coat but ultimately I ended up picking up the Tellason Coverall Chore coat just because it stands out from the rest of the chore coat line ups. I’ve been loving it, especially as someone with big shoulders, the jacket fits great!

[@DiegoKalonji]

Long live the Chore Jacket man!!

[@Richard_Lush]

Started typing and realized you’re saying everything I was thinking about. These are a great design. I watch what Japan is doing and go from there. They are the style kings👍I have a WW2 USMC utility jacket like what they wore in combat in the Pacific. Same design as the denim chore coat in HBT. I like them so much better than a regular jean jacket. It’s time we can style without being called Metro. Enjoy it👍

Love the concept for this channel! Just discovered you guys and really enjoyed this topic. Was perusing Barbour jacket content coming off a high from just purchasing one and fortunately stumbled upon The Man Cave Club! You have yourselves a new subscriber! Looking forward to more content. Cheers, brethren!

[@themancaveclub]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the show!

[@mikeg6niner]

I love all the different style items you guys cover and go over. Such good info shared. Thank you!!

[@themancaveclub]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent ep Gents… keep this series going… not sure if barn coats are part of y’all style, but that would be a cool vid as well…

[@themancaveclub]

Carhartt makes a couple nice barn coats

[@richieduque]

wow this episode came out perfect timing when I was looking up Chore Jackets. You two have impeccable taste, had no idea about Pointer and Hen's teeth, found a good Pointer one online and Hen's teeth is now one of my new fav brands haha. I've also had my eye on the Y2/The Shop Chore coat but that one's definitely out of my price range for now.

[@themancaveclub]

Haha! I’ve also been looking at Pointer Brand jackets on eBay!

[@gregk1371]

Great video. Not too many videos out there on the LC King coats. I have three of their coats. Great American made coats and I’ve had good experience with their customer service.

[@themancaveclub]

Definitely! Since I’ve done this video with Jimmy, I’ve been on the hunt for a Pointer Brand chore jacket 😎

[@QV1010]

I have the LC brown chore coat L recently and it’s ok. It’s lightweight enough but still feels a bit tough. I wanted to a chore coat that can work and be in town & I can roll the sleeves up if it’s gets hot like in summer which I hope I can wear it in. I might get their utility vest in XL to be safe on the sizing because weirdly sometimes a vest would be too tight even though a jacket in the same size & same brand doesn’t. Although I find their customer service to be poor.

[@themancaveclub]

I guess it depends how you plan to wear it.

[@aquick39]

Turn the AC on to wear your winter coat. I need to move 🤣. I live in Hinckley, England and it's always cold and wet. Hinckley might prick Paul's ears as this is the home of Triumph motorcycles.

[@themancaveclub]

That’s a perfect climate for the N1 jacket!

[@weishenglau4220]

The BZEN jacket looks to be made out of chambray, not denim.

[@themancaveclub]

Indeed it does. It’s a 10 oz. fabric

[@ansipage]

Hey guys good to see the man cave sign I’m visiting in the Bay Area this weekend. Where should I go to check out some stores? You mentioned Self Edge. Any other recommendations? Thanks.

[@themancaveclub]

Self Edge, Standard & Strange, Schott Leather, Filson/Shinola are my top recommendations

[@ansipage]

@@themancaveclub thank you!

[@jordymac14]

Could you wax your own denim chore coat?

[@themancaveclub]

Certainly!

[@jordymac14]

Would love to see you guys review a company I just came across called heat straps!

[@themancaveclub]

@@jordymac14 Their vest looks pretty heavy duty.

[@jordymac14]

I’m a firefighter and looking for a good quality chore coat that won’t break the bank. One that I plan on getting embroidered and some patches on

[@themancaveclub]

@@jordymac14 Check out Heat Straps

[@StolenAlias]

Lc king is weird. Their medium jacket on me was too small, and the large was too big.

[@themancaveclub]

I think because they’re hand sewn, there’s discrepancies in sizing

[@silviok.1919]

Like clowns

[@503punxoioioi9]

Not a fan of these at all. Fit is too big, jacket too long, pockets too big. Do not like heavy denim or canvas on a jacket. Prefer a regular jean jacket, any decent color - blue or black Levi's trucker jacket, Made in China is fine, don't pay big money. One jacket that is very underrated is the "gas station" jacket. Used to see the punk rockers wearing them in the 1990's, hard to find now secondhand, I never see anyone wearing them anymore. Very good everyday jacket, like the mid-weight ones that can keep you a bit warm. Bands in the 1990's would get them at thrift stores, put their logo on them and resell them at shows. Very cool idea! Don't like the thin repro types such as the Dickies Eisenhower. Must be the right cut, thickness, fabric and sleeves. At my last job, part of the uniform was Red Kap work shirts and I'd put a stack in my bag and because I hated the company, leave a pile on the city street for free for the regular joe, skater or punk to get a nice free shirt that would hold up and they could also add their own touch, if they wanted 😁

[@themancaveclub]

I’m assuming you’re referring to what is called a “mechanic’s jacket” - short, zipper closure and two hand pockets. Yes! I like that style too. Actually, I still wear one at my job! 😬

[@totallynorthofanywhere3910]

It’s a chore jacket episode…

[@BeagleBob-zw7wg]

What a prick someone has to be to support china like that.
