How Blind People Choose Their Clothes

[@kadin2356]

I like how you pretend to read the comment on a piece of paper

[@luceroalvarez6218]

ikr

[@nicklockk]

cracks me up every time

[@lutze5086]

hilarious :))

[@alexthelegoguy4504]

Well to be honest with you guys... He probably is reading. They make Braille printers you know lol

[@knugenavswarje734]

I didn't even notice that. Fuck, that's hilarious now that I watch it again.

[@OCDTraci]

I absolutely LOVE his sense of humor. What a delightful man!

[@_callmedad01_66]

for real!

[@vodyannoi]

OCDTraci Yes great sense of humor and a great laugh too.

[@marcelaortiz9230]

I love it lolp

"Shirts are generally light" -is wearing a black shirt

[@lostmurray264]

That's a button down shirt, I think he's talking about just T-shirts :-)

[@XXTheRainbowDreamsXX]

Katherine Sparrow his talking about the weight of the clothing

[@ThoolooExpress]

Shhh.... don't tell him

[@tralby1942]

Generally

[@CandyCoated196]

I laugh so hard when you "read" the questions

[@beybladeguru101]

shaila scott Maybe it has braille on it? Probably just a joke.

[@HowardHeGerold]

Raptor still funny though

[@tristanmiller9571]

Raptor, if it was braille he would have to read it with his fingers, not hold it up to his face.

[@MeownaMeow]

I didn't even realize that was a joke, It looks so natural hahaha

[@talithasuya8908]

"All the shirts are generally going to be light." Should we tell him the shirt he's wearing is black? hee hee

[@-belue-6697]

Talitha Suya...T-shirts man, T-shirts! He is wearing a collared button down shirt in this video...He explained how clothes work for him in this video right here. :-)

[@syntacticalcrab]

LOL. I like how you're holding up the piece of paper like you're reading from it :P

[@zanacos1]

this is the first youtuber that has made me smile with every single one of their videos! I love this man he is hilarious

[@JanSexton]

Tommy, they stopped putting tags on the back of the necks of shirts because they tended to flip outward and look silly, and, more importantly, because they felt annoying against the neck. I'm grateful for the change for those reasons, but I usually change in the dark, and it's definitely more challenging. Fortunately they still keep the tiny tag on the inside bottom left seam, so I use that.

[@AdrianSmith_zymish]

You can also usually tell by the shoulder seams; when you hold them up at the same height, the neck of the shirt drops lower in the front than in the back. :)

[@JanSexton]

Adrian Smith That's probably true for men's shirts. Definitely not a reliable method for women's! :D

[@AdrianSmith_zymish]

You have a fair point, but then, I don't suspect Tommy wears a lot of blouses.

[@JanSexton]

Oh, I know. hehe

[@allysonbeaulieu7351]

@@JanSextonmost womens shirts drop more in the front, in my experience as a person who regularly wears both! but yeah, some blouses are reversed to be fancy!

[@ilovemusic5495]

I have learned so much from your channel

[@mrmusikman8298]

I'm actually going to school to help those with disabilities, so i have ideas and methods for every kind of disability there is. I wish I could help make life a little easier for you Tommy. You seem like a stand-up guy, and I would do whatever it takes to ensure that life becomes somewhat easier for you with your condition. i wish you well, and God Bless you for your videos and sense of humor. Nothing better than seeing someone like you have a brighter side to life. A lot of people can a page from your book Tommy. You are an inspiration to everyone! Thanks for your amazing videos!

[@mrmusikman8298]

everyone can take a page from your book, is what i meant to type.

[@zhiracs]

Tommy is such a great guy. The fact that he gives so much insight to the life of a blind person and the fact that he leaves himself so open is wonderful!

[@KSUcasey13]

Answer to your question: A lot of the time, they now print the information that used to be on tags directly onto the inside of the shirt where the tag used to be.

[@OASISOFCHAOS]

I love his laugh

[@GRemyV41095]

I'm really glad I've watched you videos. Before seeing your videos I always thought that being blind would be really hard and terrible. But hearing your joyous take on things makes me see that it really has been a blessing for you. You are the most organized person I know of and I wish I could even begin to keep track of my own things the way you do. Thanks tommy for changing how I see things :)

[@400KrispyKremes]

I swear these videos always make me happy. Tommy is like a ball of pure joy. A plentiful ball.

[@CoralineLTB]

You make everything looks so simple. You show how to enjoy life with simplicity in every days actions, I love watching your videos ;)

[@AwesomeRobot15]

Haha, is that the album Tommy by The Who on the wall there? That works on so many levels... 1) the name Tommy 2) it's about a deaf, dumb, and blind person 3) it's a great album!

[@oktappasvartvatn3946]

AwesomeRobot15, that is Tommy on his wall. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

[@-belue-6697]

WhiteWolfSnowy...The pie or the guy?! HA! ;-p

[@heisenberg8547]

just discovered your channel yesterday and subscribed after watching just 1 video. Your content is awesome and my kids love the videos too. Keep it up

[@thekentuckyvolva]

I use puffy paint to create a stencil on our clothing. Once that dries, I use it as a tactile stencil to embroider our initials on our clothes. Otherwise, I would accidentally end up in my daughter’s leggings, my son’s hoodies, and my husband’s shirts. I am looking into the WayAround button tags for more detailed identification. At least, for my clothes. Until then I just ask my daughter to make sure I have what I think I have.

[@HerbleFrocks]

this channel is 200% wholesome. Easily one of my favourites

[@jenpinkerton773]

"Wholesome" I'd you've heard his mommy and daddy in the bed sqeeking jokes not family friendly. And he was on Howard Stern's show because he watches porn regularly.and he really enjoyed this one particular item star who can deep throat = not wholesome! He said he really enjoyed the sound of her doing this. See no one seems to know all of that . Just thinks he an innocent person because he's blind. But he's your average man who drinks and watches porn and has a dirty sence of humor.

[@DaBigChimp]

How did you feel the first time you felt the beach and snow?

[@SprocketWatchclock]

I always love your videos. They make me happy. It's impossible not to be happy watching one of your videos because you have such a great personality and are always so happy and optimistic!

[@drgnfrc13]

Lol, the Tommy album cover in the background... never noticed that before, nor did I even think about that coincidence. Awesome!

[@giggs102]

Man, I have so much respect for you... You are such a cheerful person, thanks for being awesome Tommy Edison.

[@ana0peps]

I love your videos, they are so interesting and I find your sense of humour hilarious, keep them coming!

[@kaylamac2513]

just walking around looking like you stole a shirt. but no ones gonna say so because you're blind lol... "uh, you know that security thing is still on your shirt?".... "ok cool" (walks away quietly)

[@rawkarpojk]

Hey Tommy. I just wanted to express my feelings on your videos and I wanted to say that your such an inspiration. And I love your honest laugh. It's the laugh of truly enjoying life. I'm currently watching all of your videos in a row simply because they make me feel good. So thank you.

[@Lestattzzz]

you sir, you are awesome. the world needs more people like you. i mean, your personality is great, you can't see, but yet you're still here, keeping your head up, and in a certain way, makin' fun of your disability. I honesltly respect you

[@gigileigh6611]

[@henry9936]

what i love about your channel is that in every single video thumbnail

[@NomNomVeggies]

Love your sense of humor as always :) Always happy to see new videos from you!

[@psco4963]

The ad before the video was for the Fred Hollow's Foundation, how appropriate. That's an ad that I'm happy to see before a video

[@lohphat]

WHY DO YOU HAVE PICTURES ON THE WALL????

[@992channel5]

lohphat probably for people he has visiting.

[@Mark-zy1qk]

He said in another video that if people give him art and stuff he'll put it on the wall, and it's also as the other comment said- for visitors. He also said he doesn't understand why people put up things on the wall anyway aha :)

[@oktappasvartvatn3946]

lohphat One of them is the album art for "Tommy" by The Who. "Tommy" is about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy named Tommy Walker, who becomes a master at pinball. When he's miraculously cured, he's declared a messiah.

[@NarschoolVlog]

you are like the gretest person alive for standing up and telling us and explaining all our questions :-D

[@polishka97]

Is that Richard Hammond in the back in the photo?

[@itscrimmy2595]

why is there even pictures if he can't see them?

[@npr2002]

[@zekelyness]

They moved from the sewn in tags to the printed ones for a lot of reasons. They're less irritating on the skin; they don't stick out of the shirt when you put it on; it wastes less cloth to print it on than to sew a tag in: prevents people from ripping/cutting the tags out. I'm sure there's so many more reasons- a lot of them economical, but most of the time the packaging on shirts or what not says it's for comfort.

[@DaveASL]

so many fun vids! thanks for posting mr tommy, and thanks for captioning them too!

[@AmeliaOak]

He can hear and taste and smell and touch. He could just as easily hear people talking to him as you can, and he learned from others around him. He can feel clothing, and people can tell him what it's for.

[@trequor]

Everything about that intro was pure gold.

[@jtNuwanda]

I love the framed "Tommy"-cover on the wall in the back! ;)

[@y2kenh]

i was in a desert taking a break in the early morning and it was quite still and very quiet. I actually heard my footsteps echo off a long sign across the street it freaked me out (thought i was being followed). Once I figured it out, I got so excited i started making all sorts of noises. Glad nobody was around to see me :)

[@Soprie]

As a fashion design major, I can answer the question about tags. The answer is cost. Nowadays, instead of an embroidered tag that that is created and then sewn into the garment (several different steps, an more materials) the label and care instructions are actually screen-printed in ink in place of where the tag was. This is much cheaper, and in some opinions, more comfortable. the downside is that eventually that information rubs away.

[@BrandenMcEwan]

I'm glad tags are, for the most part, gone. They were itchy, and for some reason, companies just made the in stupid shapes and lengths. I see your problem though. I always look for the printed tag on the left inner side of my shirts to find the right way ;)

[@ProfessorPancakes420]

I love that The Who's Tommy LP is hanging up behind you haha

[@dirtylou2962]

Tommy Poster!!! i love it. Love this channel.

[@ricardolozano8107]

My mom was getting ready for a formal dance and didn't know what to wear. My dad just said, "wear jeans, everything goes with jeans." I dont think i've laughed that hard in a while.

[@RJTickler]

They should have a brail label printer so you could attach a quick description of your clothes somewhere on them like in the collar over the other tag.

[@justincasekazoo]

Tommy, I love your Tommy album cover on the wall!

[@swervostoneyb1251]

I love how in every video theres a shelf packed with books lol. What could he use them for?

[@viczav]

Maybe the texts are written in braille.

[@nickfbutler]

Yeah, it's weird.

[@LivsFitz]

What I just noticed is there are pictures on the wall.

[@Vexertion]

MisterLivs lol yeah

[@Denae2239]

To read?..

[@stephenvj]

Tommy album by The Who in the background on the wall... nice ! Would love to hear more about that.

[@Kaya4114]

Related question to the clothing one. How do you know what looks good with what, color wise- when you explained you have no concept of what color is? Did someone tell you fashion tips so you will know what it is that you want?

[@thinkfatal2832]

Great personality, glad he can accept it, love it, preach it, and even laugh about it.

[@RosieGamgee]

they took tags out because people complained that they itched. there's usually something printed right on the shirt where the tag used to be though, feel for that

[@mollycook9438]

great guy, his videos taught me a lot about how blind people 'see' the world.

[@fraggle79]

So glad tags are going away. They always scratch my neck and itch like hell. I know what you mean, sometimes I try to find a shirt in the dark and put it on correctly, takes longer to feel where the tagless info is.

[@TheBlasianprodigy]

You see those small raised parts on the f and j keys? Those are for blind people to know which key to place their hands. They learn which key is which letter and they just type, like how people type without looking. :)

[@lordpigster]

I like every time he reads the question, he holds the blank paper.

[@bigsauce1116]

the idea of the visual sense being gone completely blows my mind.

[@bonnypierson1438]

It's too bad you don't have a twin that can see because then you could de everything together.

[@WillowSpirit10]

I have ALWAYS wondered about this question with the outfits, but I never even considered the laundry situation. Also, you are really funny in your videos! Thanks!

[@danial2001]

My parents are both blind too! They also almost organize their clothes the same way. Keeping the things in their place and remembering what goes with what.

[@bigmafia0]

I love this guy!! He has an awesome Personality better than most people I know!

[@aceflex]

Tommy on the wall in the background! What a great album =) And fitting in both theme and name for mr. Edison to have on his wall. Hopefully mr. Edison's followers will be kinder to him than poor Tommy's was.

[@TheSnakeEyezz]

I love the Tommy poster on the wall in this video! Amusing :)

[@emaresea]

I've had that happen to me before! I bought a winter coat and finally noticed WEEKS later that the security tag was still on it. I was too embarrassed to wear it with the tag on, so I took it off (ripping my coat in the process) :(.

[@whiskeythrottle9369]

Weird as it is, i dreamt about you last night Tommy, and I had so much fun! :) You really are a highlight of the internet. :)

[@mharding8]

This guy is so like-able it is crazy. I would definitely hang out with you Tommy.

[@fayehazel1986]

Tommy - I know color is sort of a loose concept for you - but your shirts always look nice and you have a variety of colors. You probably know how people tend to associate different attributes with color - you know, red - aggressive, yellow - happy, green and blue - calming, .... Do you have clothing color preferences based on what the color represents?

[@BoltFox]

What happened with the tags is that people HATE those tags. They itch to no end! I have found, though, that the text in the area where the tag used to be has a texture that's different from the shirt. I've also noticed that, at least with T-Shirts, the collar is slightly reinforced in the back. Not sure why, but there it is. Also, as someone just passing through, thank you to the person who allows Tommy to know what these comments say. ^_^

[@cpoole2002]

Yeah, I've noticed that. As the "tag" on shirts wear off, I always feel for the difference in the way the top is sewn on. Most shirts without the sewn-on tag that I've encountered have a bit of reinforcing cloth sewn into the back side where the tag would be. Do you do that or have you tried that method?

[@pamplamoosex33]

They print the tag information directly on the shirts now!

[@electrolinks]

Legend. Great videos.

[@christof2542]

Just noticed the album cover of "Tommy" by The Who behind you. Awesome album, funny that you should listen to it ;p

[@619kade]

haha my exact thoughts!

[@jonahtrashcan]

great channel love his sense of humor

[@frizzie]

oh i thought it was comfort. I had this one shirt when I was little. the tag was so itchy I cut it off. Not that cutting of a tag is a big hassle. lol. But I also have shirts that have the tag on the bottom instead.

[@hazeleyez4732]

5 people are the most delightful adorable loving most inspiring people ever they are very smart because I have a daughter that is blind that's why I subscribe and follow this man and more if I come across them

[@hazeleyez4732]

Blind ppl are

[@PixelatedPeach]

Also, there are certain types of sight loss that you can repair it a little, but some types you can't. He was born blind, and today could not get sight as he never had it

[@SoICanComment163]

I like how he's holding the paper in the beginning.

[@queenofcrows]

In the long run, it's cheaper for clothing manufacturers to print information directly onto the inside of the shirt, than it is to print the information onto a little tag then sew the tag inside the shirt. Industry spindoctors present it as a change made in response to customer concerns, but it was really made to save companies money. Sighted people may appreciate not having scratchy tags in their shirts, but its not like scratchy tags were a huge problem that forced clothing manufacturers to change their designs.

[@amandamarg24panda]

The Tommy album by the who is in the background !! that's my absolute favorite band :-)

[@361bryan]

he uses a program called jaws it is a text to speech program and it will either say Hayward letter by letter or you hold down a key and press right and it will say the whole word I had to learn to use it while I was at a blind rehabilitation school

[@learkcat9201]

This guys awesome, Literally made my day. Faith restored in humanity

[@TheReaperEvans]

Thanks for this Tommy keep em

[@hudsongraf]

I like how he holds the paper at the beginning of the video like he's reading it :D

[@sedmidivka]

I think you're better off being blind from birth than loosing sight during life. You don't know what you're missing out or pitty yourself, you just live your life as you always has. Sight is great thing but to loose it must be very very hard. Btw you are like a sunshine :D so happy and smiling and I love it :)

[@23faithstar]

Since you answer all of our questions, I'm going to answer your last question: they've started taking the tags out because to most people feeling that scratchy material back there is really annoying. I'm an aspie so I'm really sensitive to things like that and actually got ALL my clothes and cut the tags out because they irritate me that much. Lately the little painted tags have also been bugging me as well so I'll scratch those away as well. I'm sorry it's long but there ya go.

[@alethosyne]

tags can be itchy, so some companies print the words right on the fabric of the shirt instead.

[@72sercher]

I can't help buy smile when i watch your videos!!

[@Nova7o9]

I never had a problem with tags, they don't itch or anything. I wish some of my crew neck t-shirts had them. Anyway, thanks Tommy for the vids!
