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.

Love the thoroughness

[@adrianboutsias2437]

*The perfect crossover doesn't ex-*

[@Henri09]

I can't thank you enough for putting up this video. I laughed and had a big smile the whole video (especially when Jake mentioned Lange, I did not expect that). You reminded me of my first purchases, and I can't believe how much fun is the journey. Really enjoyed the $500 and $1,000 outfits. You gave me some homework to do. I will state the obvious, please bring Jake more.

[@westberlin4911]

Can’t wait for part 2 ❤️❤️😊🍀🎁🙏🙏!! Maybe the boots are most important because we‘re wearing the clothes but the boots are wearing us? I was enjoying the video the whole time. You’re great guys ( imo ). So much new stuff I’ve never heard before. Great to have both jacket’s ( Vanson and Freewheelers ). Hug’s 😊❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@scottchudley8646]

Wow, Carl I’ve followed you for a long time and just recently found Jake’s website and channel. Love the content and seriously would like to see a tour of the space your in now. Keep up the great job!

[@nathancreel8547]

This is a great video with some really key information. Bravo!👏

[@almostvintagestyle]

Thank you!

[@AvinashSingh-pn6zl]

Jake got me interested in boots and stuff. Back in summer of 2020 , bought my first boots after finding his blog.

[@almog3875]

Damn, Jake has some styyyyle. Dope hairstyle!

[@almostvintagestyle]

Thanks! Too kind

[@beagle101ful]

Yep, the Vanson is the one Jake! Great video guys, honestly one of your best efforts Carl.

[@almostvintagestyle]

Thanks! It is a great jacket.

[@adamkreuz9068]

Hotdamn Jake has a sick pomp

[@almostvintagestyle]

Haha thanks! I appreciate it

[@emoney2480]

You need to convince this guy to make more videos :)

[@almostvintagestyle]

I'm trying!

[@magneto1978]

Would love to see a sweatshirt showdown if you dont already have one. Fall is here. Finding it hard to find a good fitting crew neck

[@michaeltesterman2109]

Quick note on LL Bean being boxy. Many of their shirts are now available in Slightly fitted and slim fit, as well as, the original regular fit.

[@briteppr62]

This is an outstanding video, very informative. Btw, what is the shirt that Jake's wearing? Thanks guys!

[@matthewcartlidge3564]

Have a great day Carl!

[@davealincoln]

The watch over everything else.

[@Defnaru1]

Please record the comparison of the Flat head and Iron Heart flannels please

[@CarlMurawski]

Coming soon!!!

[@ericfallabel9201]

Thanks for this video! You mentioned buying and selling jackets over time. I've also lost a lot of weight recently, and have some nice jackets that no longer fit. Sounds like eBay and Grailed are the best places to sell? Any other ideas?

[@almostvintagestyle]

For leather jackets, the fedora lounge is another great place to sell

[@ericfallabel9201]

@@almostvintagestyle Thanks! Yeah one that I'm hoping to sell is a Satchel and Page leather bomber jacket. Love it, but don't need that size any more

[@almostvintagestyle]

@@ericfallabel9201 ah ok that one is probably better on ebay or grailed

[@Waldemarvonanhalt]

Since hair products were mentioned, I'm just going to drop a few names: Lockharts, Arcadian, Shear Revival, O'douds.

[@almostvintagestyle]

Those are some excellent name drops. Don't forget Flagship. That was what was in my hair that day

[@df540148]

Jake convinced me to go with Sugar Cane 1947s for my first pair of straight fit MIJ jeans. I've recently indulged in a pair of Ooe Yofukens that are more than 2x the price. Are they 2x the quality? Absolutely not. The fit is a little more dialed for me, the denim has a nice rough texture, but other than that, pretty indistinguishable. Sugar Canes are a great value for vintage fitting jeans. And definitely take advantage of a weak valued Yen and order from Japan (if you're in the US)!

[@almostvintagestyle]

I love my Ooe jeans, but yeah Sugar Cane is tough to beat for value. Glad you dig them!

[@df540148]

@@almostvintagestyle You also got me looking into Stevenson denim. Love the pockets and fit on them.

[@almostvintagestyle]

@@df540148 they make amazing products in general. Underrated imo

[@Bill_tyler]

Love the quiff

[@almostvintagestyle]

Thanks!

[@davealincoln]

wild that these two have never wore merino wool tshirts. once you go wool you don't go back.

[@TheShannonagains]

Now if only we could throw Albert in here at the same time

[@yamanashi1534]

Hey Carl great vid! I’m trying to buy a moosebrand messenger bag. What size did you get medium or small? Thanks

[@CarlMurawski]

I believe I went with the large size

[@yamanashi1534]

@@CarlMurawski doesn’t look like there is a large? I’m assuming it was a special order ?

[@jr-zo9gi]

Jake is the best! Glad he is back. Style wisdom.

[@JJ-zr6fu]

If we're going ridiculous for a watch I'd actually wear its the Grand Seiko Kodo for 350k

[@almostvintagestyle]

Can't argue with Grand Seiko

Abroad in Japan is a great channel, if you ever have time (im sure you dont) you should check it out

[@roberttudisco6530]

Yeah, but what about the Sugar Cane 1955 tho 😗

[@almostvintagestyle]

Also good!

[@jj4483love]

None of the shirts or jeans come in big enough sizes. I'm literally to big to wear fashion brands AND heritage brands.

[@lookthroughmycamera]

No matter how much I try, I can’t like this guy. I’m from Los Angeles just like him but I just can’t like the guy. I follow his instagram, I watch his videos but for some reason…. Maybe because he over does it so much or because he can never make a clear point. Idk. I don’t troll him, that’s the best I can do. 😅 Did you underdress this video because you knew he would show up all dressed up?

[@almostvintagestyle]

You don't have to like me. Lots of people don't. I definitely overdo it, but I'm comfortable with that. My question is what do you mean by I can never make a clear point? I think I make a lot or points quite clear. Have a good one🍻

[@lookthroughmycamera]

@@almostvintagestyle you keep cutting yourself off, you digress a lot I think is the word 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@almostvintagestyle]

@@lookthroughmycamera yeah thats fair. It's not as much of an issue with my written work. I do need to work on that with videos. Thanks for the feedback!

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

How to look like you are trying too hard...

[@JJ-zr6fu]

Don't understand the obsession with a plain cotton t shirt. If you spend more than $35 you are way over on price.

[@almostvintagestyle]

It's all a matter of perspective. I wear them as outerwear so it's worth it to me
