HERITAGE STYLE | Why I Stopped Making YouTube Videos

I'm glad to come back after a long time of staying away from KZbin and making videos. I almost quit for sure but realized I needed to continue making videos for those who love watching heritage-style vids and of course what I do.
I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

I truly appreciate all the warm comments!! Love you all!

Good to see you back. A big part of the reason I enjoy your content is because I can totally relate to how you feel. I’m also a man leaving my 40s and entering a new decade. I love to see that as we age we can still have style, keep our health and enjoy our hobbies. You hit a lot of excellent points on this video that have become areas of concern for myself too. You’ll always have us as your KZbin Ohana. Stay strong 🤙🏽

[@kso808]

I totally get you, bro! Our passions evolve over the course of a lifetime. I have always liked your channel’s authenticity and low-key quality. It’s almost zen-like. Glad you’re back! 👍

[@RogerLoera]

The only that matters as we get older is our mental and physical being. And of course our happiness. Whether your single or happily married with kids take care and love yourself. And keep evolving. Peace.

[@telemarktumalo6978]

So good to see you back! Absolutely, be happy and be healthy. Your videos are great, Chris. Do what you can and only as much as you want.

[@dandiaz2275]

Welcome back! I enjoy your content. I am a big lover of Red Wing boots and Harley Davidson’s 👊

[@ReadOrwell]

Talk about real island life! Welcome back!

[@toleranceapparel]

I discovered your channel while doing some research on Iron Heart jeans. I think your content is great and I really enjoy your videos. Glad to see you are back Chris and I look forward to future videos.

Aloha from Heidelberg. Willkommen zurück. Für mich sind deine Videos die einzige Möglichkeit irgendwie in Hawaii zu sein. Vielen Dank dafür. Wünsche Dir eine schöne Zeit. Michel from Germany

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thank Michel, I'll definitely be making more videos of Hawaii for everyone to enjoy.

[@jaxxonind]

Literally just found your channel yesterday. I'm an old skater building old cars as well. I came here for the bronco build (building a 75 myself) I'll stay for your practical insites. Glad you are hanging out in any fashion :)

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks and it’s nice to have similar interests!!

[@colinjackson320]

A thoughtful & honest video. Love your chilled out presentation whatever content you put out. Would be good to to see island life, just take the camera with you & see what comes out. Great to see you back 😉

[@analogueinterests4161]

You are such a cool guy, great videos, and I appreciate your honesty and humility. Mahalo.

Welcome back, it's good to see you again. Jesus loves you.

[@kinslowrainer3982]

Hey, welcome back! I have a quick question or two about Japan. We're planning a trip there, and I was wondering if you had some suggestions for a few things: - I find most Japanese T-shirts I see online are too short in the body. Do you know any that are longer? - I find most Japanese long-sleeve button-up shirts I see online are too short in the sleeves. Do you know any that have longer sleeves, other than Iron Heart (they're just waaaay too expensive for me)? Thanks! Keep up the good work!

[@predwards8941]

So glad to see you back! I understand some of the frustrations you mentioned. Just do you and the right people will appreciate it. I’m absolutely not a grease monkey(my old man is though) but I’ve absolutely gotten a ton of style advice and ideas from your channel

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Glad you are checking out my vids! I'm definitely inspired by viewers like you!

[@brianvaivoda6880]

Welcome back. We missed you

[@yasirnaimi6675]

Great to see you back, some videos about your trip to Japan would be great, Im one of those who are very interested in both aspects of your channel i wear denim daily and im on my second 69 mustang build i wish i could say the same about your choice of cigar😅 but i live in Europe and we are blessed by the offerings here

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Definitely! Nice to hear from someone with the same interest. I'm stuck with the offerings I can get whenever I'm on travel. Hawaii just changed the rules on cigar ordered by mail (pretty much we can't do that anymore).

[@qltyboots]

Great to see you back

[@uncannyfox]

Welcome back brother!

[@vincecrean3139]

Great to see you back.

[@Atevans77]

Glad you’re back man! Eat some Rays huli huli for me🤙🏻

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Oh man that's some good stuff for real! I live like three minutes away from the spot so definitely yeah!

[@aidelibrahim6379]

Welcome back bro..

[@HARMAN7777]

Welcome back

[@d05wtt]

I watch because I share your interests in selvedge denim and cigars.

[@brianlee445]

I am glad you have not perished.

[@hsimms6320]

Welcome Back Chris! We missed you! I am glad you are continuing with your excellent content. I am glad all is well with you!

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thank you kindly!

[@SkywalkerPMs]

I understand all your reasons for taking a break. Ive been through many of them myself.

[@casey1103]

Really happy to see another video from you man. I thought wed lost another good KZbin channel for a minute. As far as heritage style even if you aren't buying new stuff you could do videos on the history of it and certain clothing items in particular. Looking forward to some new videos!

[@bryanreilly1290]

Hey man, welcome back. Do what you want to do bro. I'm along for the ride and will check in when I can.

[@remicharlot3687]

It's been a while since I followed you, and I'm glad you continue 😉 Your channel is like a breath of fresh air every time I watch, so thank you for what you do. Rémi from France

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thank you very much Remi! Mahalo!

[@jules32179]

Great to see you back. I always enjoy your videos. 😊

[@donaldleppert7439]

Thanks for posting this video brother. Always informative and relatable.

[@smokersspot]

Glad you’re back, buddy 👍🏻 Cheers

[@madbrainmakesnosense8229]

Just recently found your channel. I really like your calm way of sharing your thoughts. I subscribed because we share the same passions. Heritage clothes and vintage cars. Greetings from Germany.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thank you for being here! My grandmother is of German descent so we have more in common haha! Thanks again and stick around.

[@ericcunningham2830]

Glad to hear from you brother!

[@Pawwaaa]

Mabuhay ka kabayan!!!!

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Salamat po!

[@NeilDHerbert]

Looking forward to the videos.

[@rmupload]

Welcome back 🤜🤛

[@leyley6983]

Welcome back sir! But one question do you earn something here on YT somehow?

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks, yes. YT runs ads on my videos and they pay me like $100-120 every other month at an average. There are sponsorship opportunities but I rarely take that offer because I don’t feel like this channel should be that yet. Maybe when the following exceeds a high number.

[@Jayee1024]

Great to see you back! Looking forward to it and wish you all the best!
