15 Things Every Man Should Own

[@gwaddles]

Every man should own a solid library with a Bible, a Dictionary and an atlas…..some books that will inspire and cussed him to aspire to greatness. Everyman should own a journal and a good pen to write down ideas or note items or experiences he needs to document or that he wants to remember

[@williemakeit2346]

Very comprehensive list brother. I’d add to it the following: Bible, grooming/shaving kit, a bank account, a place all his own (be it apartment or a house), driver’s license, vehicle.

[@anthonyduggan722]

1. Well stocked tool kit 2. A Navy Blazer 3. Cast Iron Skillet 4. A quality watch 5. Classic pair of sunglasses 6. Pocket knife 7. Weekend (duffel) bag 8. 2 pairs of dress shoes (black & brown) 9. Dopp kit 10. Comfortable (subjectively) mattress 11. One killer suit 12. Signature scent (referring to cologne) 13. Slim minimalist wallet 14. Recipe book 15. Passport

[@yankeedoodle6293]

Thank you 👍👍👍

[@r.casagrande8689]

Don't do lists like this, this does not help Jeff, he can earn some more money when people watch the full video. The content is awesome, plus the way he presents it it's really nice, you watch it without getting bored.

[@carpediem3593]

I would add, 16. A fine Pen - All Gentlemen should have a fine writing instrument. 17. A nice journal, like a moleskin journal. These are stylish accessories for all serious business men.

[@49cohibas53]

Your cheat doesn't have flare.

[@GoogleUserX]

(On #13) NFC & the phone makes Cards & Wallets OBSOLETE )))

[@3fo5]

1. Well stock tool box 2. Navy Blazer 3. Cast iron skillet 🍳 4. Al least one quality watch 5. A classic pair of Sunglasses 🕶 6. A pocket knife 7. A weekend bag 💼 8. One black and one brown pair of dress shoes 9. A dock kit to travel toiletries 10. A comfortable mattress 11. One well tailored suit 12. One signature scent cologne 13. Slim wallet 14. A good cook book recipe book for men 15. Passport

[@georgelush1998]

I do all the cooking (and the grocery shopping.) I inherited a Griswold cast iron frying pan from my grandmother. The thing is well over 100 years old. It’s a cherished family heirloom. Keep it clean with just water and a plastic scrub pad, put it back on the stove, heat it up on medium to evaporate the water, let it cool, wipe it down with cooking oil and it will last more than a lifetime.

[@TheStyleOG]

Yes indeed!

[@myroadtours6147]

Good video! 1) owning tools and knowing how to use them are two different things. Learn to use what you have. 2) A nice Navy blazer comes in handy for sure...I probably should go buy one one of these years. 3) Hard to go wrong with a cast iron skillet...but keep in mind, they come with a specific way of cleaning them. 4) I have one watch...only one watch and I wear it once every 4-5 yrs lol I'm self employed, homeowner (house paid off) and 3 vehicles paid off about to buy a 4th in full. Wearing a watch may scream responsible, just know there are some exceptions. 5) Shades are another good accessory for guys and their functional. I can go over board a little here and owned a small collection. 6) I would absolutely be lost without my pocket knives. I use them for everything, its like the most versatile tool! This one comes with a couple warnings though, know your state and local laws as well as how to handle a knife. And hospitals don't like their patients having them. I was hospitalized for COVID and security had to lock my knife up lol 7) Another Item I would be lost without, my weekend bag! The weekend bag is the next best thing since sliced bread! 8) In the past, I used to do only have one brown and one black pair of dress shoes. I don't how many I have know but its grown a lot. 9) I'm falling short on this one. I used to have several nice doc kit bags but who knows where they are now. Better get on this soon. 10) for sure! You spend like 8hrs a day sleeping...may as well have the best mattress you can afford. 11) Back in my Dallas days, I had to have a closest full of suits, summer, winter, business, business casual, etc. Now days I just keep one single black suit. I'm kinda a fan of the blazer and dress jeans. 12) I usually pickup 1-2 of the top scents from some place like Macy's. Oh man, so the last one i bought they was out of smaller bottles and I really wanted that scent. So I bought this huge bottle! Probably a life time supply lol 13) I'm new to the whole slim wallet and I love it! Bought a couple different LV's for my suit and ended up using them every day. I'm not going back! 14) Every guy needs 2-3 signature type dishes but sure, having a couple cook books are nice as well. 15) Ugh, need to renew my passport. I have it all done up, just ran into a ton of problems...COVID blah.

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate the detailed input!

[@JoseRuiz-ng3qs]

Great video and value. Thanks for posting this. My list of extras not in the video is composed of: A) A shoe Shining Kit B) Hunting & Fishing Tools C) Quality First Aid Kit D) Leather Wallet or Quality Satchel (not a backpack) E) Quality Shaving Kit F) Daily "To Do List G) A Copy of at least five life changing/guiding Books My List Warrior Books A) The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi B) Rifleman Dodd by C.S. Forester Politician Book C) The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli Philosophy Book D) Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

[@CallMeTheWatcher]

Salute to you Jeff for the primo list! Adding on, I would say every man should own: 1. A barbecue grill and know how to work it. When a man controls his grill, he exudes confidence. 2. Jumper cables/battery charger. Men are mostly assumed to have automotive knowledge. Have these items and you can be a superhero to those in distress. 3. A leather jacket. Trust that you will add many swagger points to your wardrobe with this cool weather classic. Keep up the good work, Jeff! Always look forward to your presentations. Peace be to you!

[@TheStyleOG]

Appreciate the add ons!

[@kennethyoung4892]

This is a great list

[@randolphmanning3674]

What about medical insurance/Reg. Doctor, 2. Casual flex/soft bottom shoe, 3. Savings/investment accounts: 401k/stocks…,4. Emergency contact, 4. A. Living will/Beneficiary, 5. Nice complete set of cookware besides a cast iron skillet, 6. A nice set 2-4-6 matching plate/bowl/cup & flatware set, 7. Nice selection of adult beverages; wine/scotch/vodka…etc! Soooo many basics more important than a cast iron skillet in my opinion

[@TheStyleOG]

Appreciate the input!

[@sirmanni4534]

I love this channel. I would recommend a goto bottle of wine, whiskey 🥃, or rum to entertain guests. And a playlist that moves the crowd when entertaining guests. People will walk away remembering moments from an occasion

[@Gregsgreatfood]

I haven't traveled out of the US since I got out of the Navy. I wholeheartedly agree on the passport. I need to get one soon. I have the rest of this list.

[@Forgotten1]

Hey, that cast iron skillet also doubles as a weapon! Seriously! It saved my life one night! I opened his melon up like a hot knife through butter 🧈! He'll never forget me! Plus, you can use it as a shield which I did too! #castironskilletmf

[@therockgodabides]

Jeff, I think every guy should own a couple of quality books! 📚 As a writer and reader myself, I can’t stress enough how much more interesting having some well rounded reading makes a person seem.

[@brownpunk1794]

I cant read😑

[@TheStyleOG]

Totally agree!

[@abz7509]

I would say just add a kindle . It’s small and you can have access to vast amounts of books on the go.

[@GSnugg]

@Respectfully Speaking Podcast It may go well traveling inside the weekend bag, or on your trips across the world.

[@bryananderson3772]

Books are great but they're certainly not in the top 15 for a man to own.

[@05Rudey]

A great list, especially the tools & tool box, every man should strive to know the basic workings of his home. Perhaps a book of basic household repairs/maintenance that has tasks like fixing a leaky tap, shutting off water, installing a light fixture or wall plug socket etc to stash next to the toolbox.

[@TheStyleOG]

I like it!

[@donnellhill75]

Thanks for the shout out OG.

[@TheStyleOG]

No worries!

[@wfsmithiv51]

Great list and I agree. I’m happy to say that I’m 15 for 15. Really thankful for your advice and validation

[@Raymond0595]

A good chef knife or a set of good knives is a must have tool if you do cooking at home.

[@TheStyleOG]

Agreed!

[@bigroy38]

Big time .Cutlery.

[@jamesjeff29]

Love the videos. Very helpfully for a newly 40 yr old man. I am lacking five items but will be getting them this week !!

[@TheStyleOG]

Glad you like them!

[@ashtonbullock]

Hey Jeff! As usual, a very solid list. I have no complaints. If I could add something to that list, life insurance or a living will. Every man needs to have these documents up to date with everything going on in today's world. To quote Marlon Brando from "The Godfather": "Men can't afford to be careless about these things." Salute O.G.!

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute Ashton!

[@ItsJWandoe]

BIG SALUTE!

[@donyoung2185]

Absolutely essential

[@khaliqking7142]

Every rational logically thinking man should have some sort of firearm. Just in case.

[@planetdee3587]

So you made a video like this a while back (nothing wrong with updating with similar videos so they are the top of watching list), and I bought the cast iron skillet after watching. Man, that was real advice right there. Great piece of cook wear.

[@TheStyleOG]

tell em!

[@pierregeorge9050]

Style OG, A very detailed list my brother. The one item I need is the cook book. This can help me be more versatile in the kitchen. Every man needs some shoes tress for your dress shoes and sneakers. Thanks again for dropping the knowledge. Salute to the family.

[@edwardpack3294]

I recommend you think about a chef you like and look at a book by them. One of my favorites and one I reference a lot is one by Emerill.

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute Pierre!

[@zurn41]

11:57 A Swiss Army Knife. I've owned the same 12 function model for 31 years. It has served me well. A quality Pocket Multi-Tool is a good alternative. (Leatherman, Gerber, etc.)

[@nathanalgren5247]

Pocket knife, great suggestion! Silly as it may sound, be sure to check your local laws on the size/type 'allowed' (NYC comes to mind...) Salute!

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute!

[@neilhumphreys2477]

A great list o which i had most apart from Skillet, Pocket Knife and a good duffel bag (have a crappy one). One item to add I think every man should have is a well stocked bar with standard alcohol and mixes. Never know when you will bring a lady home for a night cap.

[@temibobo6147]

The tool box and the pocket knife relly got to me...I will work on owing those asap!

[@kirkveesaert9595]

Terrific ! The watch especially my fav. a rolex 1503 18KT gold 34m on a strap , a grntleman's watch sholud be gold thin and on a strap. No SCUBA diver or Astronaut's watch 😂

[@snipes7311]

Love how you stepped out from the style aspect of the channel and encompassed everyday life skills (not just things) men should have.

[@aquicktake]

I'd go for a black blazer instead of a navy one. Much classier and makes a better silhouette.

[@Doc8404]

This is a solid list. Good to know i own most of these.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks!

[@Rasekila]

With all the unncessary stuff guys are buying these days its nice to know the OG got yur back on the true essentials. This is an awesome channel big bro! and these are things that almost any man can afford!

[@Jason_The_Man]

Great list. The weekend bag will be my next purchase. The old gym bag just isn’t cutting it.

[@FailAdjustWin]

The mattress and recipe book are great ones that I had not really thought about OG💪🏽

[@TheStyleOG]

Good call! You sleep on that mattress every night! 😉

[@dm9078]

A well stocked tool box (with the knowledge on how to use it.)

[@leavonfletcher4197]

Looking very nice in the seersucker sir. There aren't a lot of brothers still rocking those, but they are absolutely classic. Great in the hot summer weather as well. Excellent list too.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Leavon !

[@dholmesjr]

Great list. I took notes from this video just to see how many items I didn't have... With that being said, I need to purchase a navy blue blazer and a pocket knife... I also agree that having a passport is a must have... Thanks again Jeff. Salute.

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute Donny!

[@edwardpack3294]

Jeffrey, Great comprehensive list of the basics every man needs. Great the you included a fragrance which is so overlooked. A stylish man also needs boots (dress, Chelsea and Chukkas) but you cover that very, very well. Thanks and Salute!

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute Edward!

[@waynenoel1923]

hitting the nail on the head, OG thank you.

[@michaelwheeler5032]

I believe your list was 100% correct. The only thing I would have had it on was a pair of dumbbells. Quickly workout at the house, will always benefit you.

[@TheStyleOG]

I like it Michael !

[@1983keh]

LOVE this list! I also would like to add the addition(s) of a quality leather belt (black & brown)

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks!

[@duartduplessis1046]

Now its time to make sure and get your self a good oldschool new material and stylish pocket knife. Kick the black on black tactical knive and look at some thing like a Péna Trapper or a small Chris Reveef sebenza with a classic wood inlay,like a bog oak. A pockit knive can be matched to your outfit aswell.

[@Shawntraci]

Very nice list of things men should own (I own all of those things). This was an on time video, because I almost forgot I need to change out the toiletries in my weekend bag🙂. Keep those awesome videos coming good Sir...

[@TheStyleOG]

Will my guy!

[@thetruth1635]

U always get it right bro . Ur assessment is not under or over the top . 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 . The Common man appreciates u .

[@TheStyleOG]

I appreciate that!

[@ilmizarnanda]

I agree for navy blazer,i'm 25 yrs old and i dress up daily.i have 5 sportcoat and i'm still looking for navy blazer.my sport coat i bought all of them vintage including ties,leather jacket,tie and shoes.i don't have much income so vintage my go to shoping😁.

[@yavuzadam5766]

I own almost everything you show but whatever I do when I put something in my suv and go downtown indy for dinner I always get my suv broken in so I am moving away from Americans hopefully this will help

[@joeb.7722]

Very thorough and tastefully done O.G.!

[@TheStyleOG]

Much appreciated!

[@ceedub5640]

loving your content, you're like a big bro i never had! respect man.

[@spectre5x5]

Good advice Jeff! I also like that seersucker suit! Great for the summer and originated where I'm from, New Orleans.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Shawn!

[@glenngray6859]

What's up my bro Og. You would be proud of your old bro I have everything on this list thanks to you. Good looking out my G. Salute my friend.

[@TheStyleOG]

Salute Glenn!

[@kalstonii]

To add to the weekend bag: try to get the matching bag and bookbag set. I got a set heres what I do 👉🏽 bookbag: holds laptop/power cords, passport, cell phone, bottle of water, etc. The bag, as stated is for the clothes. They usually allow you to have a carry on and a “lap bag” (bag that can fit on your person) on an airplane so this works. Plus, matching set definitely turns womens heads

[@TheStyleOG]

great input!

[@MichaelNJohnson]

Your videos are always informative, but you took it to another level with this one. 🤜🏽🤛🏾

[@TheStyleOG]

I appreciate that!

[@busdriveruppercut]

If I would have ordered the minimalist wallet I've had in my Amazon shopping cart the past week before I watched this video, I could honestly say I have everything on this list. Big shout out to you Jeff you're the #1 style channel I follow. Can't say enough about your influence. I have to give you your roses. You are the man. Keep doing what you do...💯

[@TheStyleOG]

Much appreciated Tim!

[@louiscyfer6944]

i can't think of an occasion i would need a blazer or a suit. the minimalist wallet is definitely a no go, i like to carry a little cash. a couple of grands at least.

[@mbargajohn103]

Great video thanks for the vibes 😀.

[@shivavereen7824]

I like that this video is very consistent with those you made on the same subject in the past. Saluuute!

Thanks!

Definitely need a weekend bag. I do have a signature cologne with me though.

[@marcusa.fromthebay7514]

HELLA GOOD job, Jeff!! I've had everything on this list for decades and have done my best to pass such a list on to the generations that follow mine. Your celebrity status puts a fine point on it. BRAVO-ZULU!

As usual, the apparel is on point. I’m taking notes 📝

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Ryan !

[@ajmunn1229]

Video of you cooking in your cast iron next please, mine always smokes up the house and sticks something terrible. Probably needs re seasoned or something. They don't die but they can be temperamental.

[@tjn2254]

You need to season it every time you cook with it and only wash it with hot water.

[@allenstokes1178]

Definitely agree especially with the tool box and passport

[@TheStyleOG]

Yes Sir !

[@ehrenmuhammad]

Love this list! That signature fragrance is so true. For years my fragrance was Burberry Touch, but now it's YSL L'Homme Ultime.

[@Mario-Unodyn3ro]

Same, that YSL is my go to now, it's 🔥👌🏼

Oh thank you!

Very well stated. The only thing I would add is a fountain pen. Mines a Mont Blanc.

Hey Jeff, great video. Very timely (a man should have one really good watch) for today's more relaxed world

Good Video (these young brothers just got a education) Ps...with the scent thing, we should Encourage our brothers to be different in choosing a scent. Don't go for what's Popular...There are allot of companies, that will create a scent using a Generic quiz they give you, and it's usually spot on. one site is Hawthrone or scentBird (not a plug) ...They do a good job with soaps, and scents that fit's work and Play...Dare to be different brothers...It doesn't have to have a Name Brand stuck on the bottle to be Noticed..I love when brothers school other Brothers...keep up the good work

🤔 Still working on that real nice Navy Blazer. I don’t wear Sunglasses 🕶 as I actually wear glasses 🤓. But they tainted. Nice list of functional as well useful things. Now where can I get a nice leather bag?

Good to see you back Jeff. Little worried when you didn't show last week. And another great advice video!

Good job! I’d even add a set of jumper cables to that

Just recently ordered a Skillet, should arrive Monday. It's not Cast Iron but a really good non stick skillet, paid $70 so I expect for it to be around a while. Great Video👍

Good choice!
