I always enjoy CWC. My dog is on my lap, I’m drinking my coffee. I’ve been watching your channel for years and really appreciate your insight regarding clothes, career and life in general.

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

[@bjjrhino]

As a someone who has struggled with being an angry guy, the advice you gave I wish someone told me that when i was 20. Thank you for your honesty

[@RLambkin]

Good morning Carl ☕ glad the puppy was in most of the video. Have a great day

Speaking of Filson, I got the Mammoth's Leaf Monday that I bought to replace my Filson Cruiser. I have to exchange my XL for an XXL, which may end up being possible (fingers crossed), but wow, does it clean the Filson's clock. I told my partner to feel the Iron Snail jacket, then the Filson, and she laughed out loud feeling the Filson. What Michael has managed, for less money, with no economy of scale, is remarkable. It's an upgrade in every regard. Once I do have my Mammoth, I'm selling the Filson.

[@Bfettrules]

Might I recommend Weatherwool my friend. I have several of their garments and am more than satisfied with their outerwear.

[@jonuiuc]

This makes me worry, I have a xxl one coming in pine green, but I worry I’m still too big for it. Michaels sizes are all too small.

[@matthewsbernier]

​@@Bfettrules They don't make anything that interests me just at the moment, but I've never heard a bad thing about any of their stuff, including from Mike.

[@matthewsbernier]

​@@jonuiuc I do feel like his sizes are very Japanese, but also I have very oddly large shoulders for my body, I'm currently fat, and I also wear a monster of a sweater under this kind of jacket.

[@Bfettrules]

@ gotcha. They’re still in their infancy so their garments are developing. As of now I have their shirt jac, pea coat, 2 chore coats, and all around jacket. All great pieces.

[@shootjase]

theres always these tiny little golden nuggets in your cwc videos. love the 'more curious, less fear/anger' mention.

[@CarlosValentor]

You know I ordered my whites from bakers and throughout the lead time I changed my mind on several specs maybe 4 times, being a pain of a customer. They were super nice, even sent me a last reminder later about “ok you’ve been quite indecisive, last chance, anything else you’ve changed your mind about?” I didn’t that last time but I ultimately received the exact specs I ended up with at my last iteration and have been extremely happy about it since. They’re great at customer service!!!!

[@Jkorchak]

Always like seeing the dog! I definitely know what you’re saying I used to have a guy who I went to high school with and considered my best friend but ended back stabbing me. I really like that Indigofera Copeland shirt! I’m kind of digging those Japanese tweed pants. Baker’s boots look interesting.

[@BlackBarnSocialClub]

Such a class act brother! Starting to come back just to keep getting to know you better. 🤜💥🤛

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Much appreciated!!!

[@CharlesNeuer]

Indigofera is indeed something special. Last year I got the Swearengen Hickory Stripe Twill 12oz pants in gray/black. Workmanship and Details are stunning! Striped pants always give you some attention, haha! Combined with a black leather jacket and some dark Redwings these pants look awesome.

[@smhne8]

Carl, I’m an ultimate lurker (old usenet news group term) here, but have followed you since the very beginning. Heck, I even sent you a pre-paid envelope for the sticker you made with the old Henry logo. Long story but it never arrived 😢. I only posted comments a handful of times on KZbin. I saved this video to watch today after a business trip to the east coast. Little did I know that my Dad would pass away this morning, but it was very helpful during a difficult day. I showed my Dad several of your videos to show him unique products. I bought Thursday Boots Chukkas based on reviews and was crushed when you posted your squeaky Chelsea video. I was impressed with the way Thursday responded. Don’t pay attention to the 5% of haters. I LOVE collabs with brands and my fav KZbin-ers. You introduced me to Albert and Dave Himmel. I’m indebted to you for that. I even tried to convolve those two into a grail jacket for my 60th birthday, but life intervened. Maybe 65… My ONLY criticism is that I live in the 🌵 desert and can’t wear many of the items and am the ultimate white collar (physicist and corporate sales) person that can’t pull off work wear. Please keep doing what you do. The silent minority appreciate your perspective… Sean Hames Loafers Rule!!!

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Hahaha than you Sean, we may disagree on loafers but I sincerely appreciate your comments and thoughts. My condolences for your loss- that's a big one. If you'd like, I can send you a sticker to make up for that old one WAAAY back in the day.

[@smhne8]

Thanks Carl! I’ll keep that sticker on account for your next collaboration (Himmel Bros?)…

[@barlotardy]

Agreed, I can't say enough good things about Baker's boots. Also worth noting that they usually have two sales per year on Whites boots, to the tune of 20% off (Black Friday and father's day, I believe.). I've got 4 pairs of custom bounty hunters and counting. BOOT ADDICTION IS REAL!!

[@sfrank7799]

Baker’s is the absolute best

[@almog3875]

What a fantastic episode! Probably my fav so far. It’s the first half of the video that resonated with me, thanks for sharing that.

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Glad to hear it! That's what I aim for.

[@jeffreydawson4520]

Life’s all about finding some semblance of balance, be it in the digital or physical world and understanding both the pros and cons of whatever is in your currently taking your attention. The internet, for all the good things it does, also has tons of negatives, it’s just important that we keep these things in mind. The Indigofera shirt is a real nice looking shirt and you’re absolutely right about them getting somewhat overlooked. The Thursday jacket definitely gives me a throwback vibe to the 90s, which honestly bums me out a little because the 90s shouldn’t be retro, I’m not that old, lol. Loved seeing Chloe in the video, she’s a good looking pup! Hope you have a great week Carl.

[@ΛεωνιδαςΑργυρος]

My Wednesday treat! Thanks for the videos.

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

You are so welcome!

[@LandLockedSailor69]

I own one of those Filson lined cape coats from the previous run. Like all my Filson jackets I purchased on sale. I agree it would be great if it was made of shearling but then it would be packer coat priced of over $1K. I can tell you it is absolutely warm and the sherpa lining does dry quickly from sweat. IMPORTANT NOTE in sizing, I'm a XXL in everything Filson. But anything more than a regular flannel shirt under this is tight even with the "relaxed fit" cut. The sherpa lining is thick and full so if your close to the measurement limit, I would recommend sizing up.

[@Brajin1]

Man throwback when you said Gateway PC. I remember my parents taking me to a gateway store, to check out their PCs. 17 in monitor was massive back then.

[@kennethchrzanowski6165]

Good morning Carl.

[@joshwilcox8941]

Morning, Carl

[@sandro1a2b]

Gorgeous dog!

[@nathanwhite5602]

Cool video

[@curtshelp6170]

Sizing runs the gamut. Right now I'm wearing a Gustin Japanese wool flannel that fit's me perfectly in XXL. Brave star is the same XXL or XXXL for their Ironside jackets. The weird part is I'm only 5'6" 185 but with a 49" chest and a 38" waist. I bought a SMW N-1 deck jacket with a 50" chest but having received it it actually measures 58" chest. All of these are made in Los Angelus with Japanese and American fabric which may not matter but I don't have that problem often.

[@tylerk7519]

Great stuff Carl, one day I will subscribe to your Patreon when ready. Also, I think everyone should go to professional therapy. It can be expensive without coverage, but doing it will change your life for the better. You will understand yourself better, and know things that you had all along that you never even thought you ever had. Also, will never buy Filson ever unless it's dirt cheap. Too many better alternatives out there today, especially second hand 👍👍

[@JJ-zr6fu]

I saw somewhere that some of Thursdays leather jackets are having problems with the top leather flaking off. This could’ve been last years and fixed it but the comments were saying it’s because they stretch the leather.

[@grouchypseudopod354]

As an XXL in iron heart I'm happy I'm not the only one who felt a small oof of "come on"

[@splashpit]

I love listening in you would be a guy I’d talk to on a building site would definitely get a banter going and take the piss especially since you are an electrician be plenty of broom jokes .

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Haha, you’re right - I’m sure we’d have some laughs. Though, I'm not familiar with this word "broom"?

[@stuntmanjohnny]

Just got my “brawlers “ in yesterday. They are very impressive. I was worried at first because I could only get my hands on a pair of size 7’s instead of a 7.5 that I usually get in boots. But there is plenty of space in the toe box. I usually wear a 7.5 in Truman’s and red wings, sometimes I can pull off a 7. These brawlers are very roomy. Had I got a 7.5 I probably would’ve had to wear thicker socks.

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Good to hear, I think those are gonna last you a long time.

[@BrokenBarBox]

What I’ve learned from the sewer we call the comments section is people aren’t posting opinions. To them, their opinions are hard, indisputable facts. They are always right, and you can’t argue with them. The comments section is full of alpha level experts.

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Absolutely true!

[@MJMac83]

Good morning!

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Morning, how are you?

[@MJMac83]

@ doing good, thank you for asking. Kind of crazy here in Los Angeles with all the fires, my job sites have been shut down for a few days. Hope it gets handled soon. How are you????

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

@@MJMac83 Trying to keep warm here in CT!!!

Really enjoy all of your videos keep up the good work! Just ordered a Poncho Flannel been hearing alot about them lately any options?

[@TonyMckee-f6w]

Opinion damn phone

[@JavaJunky]

I visited the Seattle Filson flagship and tried on their new lined cape coat. I absolutely hate the feel of the lining. It does feel like shredded plastic. P.S. Clothes made from Golden Doodles shearings go for a premium.

[@Old_Sailor85]

Chloe has been clipped. Golden Doodles are great dogs.

[@shamusdavis6120]

Coffee with Chloe!

[@SeemeonMars]

Jnco jeans are back Carl lol. I guess some younger people find them cool. More fashion oriented Channels like Drew Joiner talk about it. They are pretty pricey too. Vintage pairs are going for a pretty penny on eBay.

[@claym.greenwood8624]

Chloe is a good girl. 10/10 would pet.

[@Old_Sailor85]

Come now Filson. That jacket needs a wool or alpaca lining. FWIW, I my sold both my double mackinaws. A Filson and a Woolrich. Not enough wind resistance for the weight. Replaced them with a TAD Deck Jacket. On sale for under $300. No wool/alpaca, but the price was right.

[@knifenutsdave]

The sad thing is the lined Cape Coat has been enshittified. I have one from a previous run, it had at least a partially wool blend "shearling" and Primaloft Gold in the sleeves. Both of those are gone. The most amusing part is the previous run of these, which were objectively better in materials, sold poorly enough to eventually be sold at a 50% discount direct from Filson. Now they're bringing back a worse version, for $100 more. Do not pay full price for this one!

[@Bluerig-qf2xc]

I've never seen someone pet their dog's eyes

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Give it a try!

[@TheDark-won]

hey carl, how do you handle conflict with a coworker?

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Take the high road always. Nothing is worth losing your main source of income.

[@alphaa1xgene]

Man I want a dog that’s as vicious as a goldfish for my daughter, and for me the indigofera Copeland shirt, breaking the bank early 2025.

[@williamm3503]

The paints are are high rise. The guy in the picture does not have them on right. If he did the pockets would sit in the right place

[@cheddarbuttersworth2441]

Hello Carl. That Thursday Jacket is pretty sweet but I need a new jacket about as much as I need to knees broken which is probably what my girlfriend would do to me if I got that jacket. I've never had much luck with fitting Thursday boots and living in Canada the returns/exchanges process is easy but not free. I will say, I am a human endowed with an imperfect figure and when I've gone on Thursday's website to look at how a top/jacket fits on a human their models look like guys who make KZbin videos on what to wear to attract women which has not always given me good insight as to how their clothes would fit my gelatinous body.

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

I agree, it really looks like they do the whole slim body/long arm thing.

[@skeeter2136]

I wouldn’t trust Thursday with a leather jacket

[@OutdatedOutfitters]

I regret to inform you that JNCOs have been back for around a year now

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Noooooooooo

[@jeffgrantMEDIA]

Dude... JNCO is back.... and it's horrifying!

[@silasmortensen1129]

I think its a little disingenuous of companion denim to call it tweed when its made from cotton IMO, aanyway great vid!

[@CoffeeWithCarl1]

Yeah, I definitely expected to see wool.

[@stevenkoppelkam643]

Ha, walking into a store and telling them how bad their products are sounds like a very Ron Swanson thing to do. Love seeing it on a sitcom but has no place in the real world

[@dark_gravity_edc]

Jnco's are back. Vintage versions start at about $250 in decent shape, then go up into the thousands depending on model.

[@kennethchrzanowski6165]

Good morning Carl.
