Top Reasons to Heritage Style

#heritage #mensstyle
There's not a lot on this subject on KZbin, the Heritage Men's Style, so here I am starting it for us so we can discuss it.
Many men's styles are focused on current trends but I found myself going back to this heritage style over and over again. If you are finding yourself coming back to this heritage way of style then embrace it and let's do it right together.
This channel is about boosting men's confidence, especially men in their forties or later. It also applies to any men, I mean real MEN that aren't afraid to wear what they want!

I really appreciate this brother. I'm 61 years old and will be 62 this year, and I stumbled upon this style on the Pinrest website and found that I really love it like the brother said to each his own. I'm breaking the norm in my culture. I'm African American, and the norm is Nike, joggers, skinny jeans etc,etc. For me It's not my cup of tea. I remember the old schools in my day wore heritage wear before it was known as such. I thought I was going through a midlife crisis, but I find I am very comfortable with it. My wife of 25 years loves it, and a young brother is 30 years old he think its bad ass. Thank you, brother. This affirms my belief to find out who you are and own it, especially for older guys like me. Heritage wear is saying lived life, and still living it.

YESSSSS!!!! I loved hearing this. My wife loves it as well. What about experimenting with beards/stach?

[@charlesweaver722]

Oh yeah, I rock a full salt and pepper beard. I can't grow hair on my head anymore, so I shave it completely bald, but I grow enough hair 😅 on my face to make up for it 😅

Thank you brother for helping install confidence in folks. You are a good dude. after turning 50 and going through a messy divorce my confidence was shot. I had always loved heritage clothing and over the last 18 months or so been an obsessive boot enthusiast and my next purchase will be a nice pair of selvage jeans :) My confidence goes way up the moment I put my boots on

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Nice!! Thank you for your kind words brother! I’m glad that what I’m putting out inspires men my age. We still have plenty of life left and if nothing else it is time to focus on our wellbeing. Enjoy the process and feel good! I’m excited for you bro! 😎

Speaking of heritage. I’m still happy as hell about my wife buying me a pair of Iron Rangers, 2 Christmas’s ago.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Nice! She did awesome! Please let her know (I’m sure you have but coming from me). Aloha!

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

@@StylishGreaseMonkey Thanks! Oh I definitely let her know every time I put them on before our daily outing.

[@SteveW67]

Love my iron rangers so much just bought some moc toes. Iron rangers take months to break in moc toes not so much. 😎👍.

Great video Chris. Heritage defines itself and never goes out of style. Being genuine, generous and true to ourselves, our families and our friends, is all that matters. Aloha Brother.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Hey Mark, you’re absolutely on point! Thanks, your comment warms my heart always! Aloha and mahalo brother!

[@adamwest5625]

Agree on your points. Buy quality and it pays back in itself because you appreciate and form a bond for years to come.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks Adam!

Great video! Stylish Grease Monkey for president. 😁 I’m with you 100% about Daniel Craig, definitely someone that wears some good stuff.

[@kso808]

Very interesting points about Heritage clothing! It really makes sense. With me, it’s about owning my love of boots, and conveying to others that love. Great planting video! Relaxing.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Books are great but I must admit that I am not good at creating that habit. When I living on ships I read a lot but lately I haven’t. Maybe I’ll get back to it soon. Thanks Kev!

[@f1hotrod527]

Cool thing about heritage style is there is a lot of variation to make it yours. It can go from working man look, to sport coat night out. Indigo selvedge looks good with a sport coat. I do agree, it is better to buy less but things with higher quality.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

It helps to live in a colder environment so we can layer. I used to look forward to winter when I was living in Japan and Korea. I definitely need to clean my closet for this year to minimize my clothes. We will see haha! Thanks!

[@Jayee1024]

You got a great perspective and are spot on. It’s a classic style for guys of all ages especially those in their 50s. Keep up the great work. It’s always cool to catch your new videos.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Hey thanks Jerry and I really appreciate it! I’m glad you like this one also. Aloha!

[@donk9189]

Thank you for inspiration!

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks for checking me out!

[@hsimms6320]

I couldn’t agree more Chris! I am always googling pics of McQueen and Daniel Craig to see what they were wearing. Heritage style all the way for me as well. Thanks for the great vlog.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@patricru]

Hi Christopher! Agree 100%! I subscribe to every word!✊️🤝✌️

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thank you Pat! 😍

[@ericcunningham2830]

Every video I watch I enjoy more brother. Keep them coming great video. I find myself nodding my head as you talk haha

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks a ton brother! I’m at the tail end of a Bronco build so I’m taking a break from style vids. More to come later on….

[@vacuumtube1954]

Good afternoon, wonderful video my friend. I have been purchasing heritage clothing for aa few years. I am my upper 60's now and I pay the money for quality because it last. I feel I am my own man but it is great to see your video here. This is the first one I have seen of yours. I feel like I have found a brother and kindred spirit. Take care, be well...peace...

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Welcome brother and I’m glad you found me here! I definitely love this style and I am glad that there are more and more mature men going to this style. In my opinion, this style reflects our lives and that we deserve it. Many of us have given a lot to our families, friends, and country and it is now our time to pay ourselves by looking good and feeling good. Stick around, let me know of recommendations to cover and talk about. As long as it’s realistic, I’ll find a way to get it done. I often get recommendations about reviewing other products. That’s totally okay as long as it doesn’t break the bank haha!!

[@atengku9660]

Mate, you deserve more viewers. You just have to learn how to use hashtags. Thanks for the video.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

I appreciate that! I love sharing my views on these topics and I’m happy that there are men seeing it. Thanks brother!

[@SteveW67]

Another gem 💎. Cheers Chris 😎👍.

Thank you Steve and Aloha! 🤙

Besides the jeans and boots, what sort of shirts do you consider Heritage Style? I’ve got the jeans and boots, but I feel like it’s hard to find suitably matching shirts. Also, say you want to dress it up a bit; like, for a date night or a job interview? I’m 42 now and I’m looking to add a blazer or sports coat to my look, but I’m not sure what would pair with my selvedge denim and heritage boots.

[@noone-pg4lr]

Wouldn’t all collard shirts work with denim and boots as long as the boots are basic like no cap toe or wedge sole

[@JanStroosma]

I usually roll with western shirts with the pearl snaps when I need to look a little more "dressy"

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Sorry for the late reply! I think I replied to some of your comments already. I usually wear one color no design shirts. Sometimes I like my shirts larger and sometimes tight. I've used collared shirts (polo) to dress up my selvedge. Wearing a white button up shirt is pretty badass as well. I wore selvedge and dress shoes with a jacket at my daughter's college graduation and it felt good. But then again, I also rock suits on occasion. For job interviews, it depends on the job in my opinion and sometimes it is worth to dress accordingly if you want to be hired of course. For places that are cooler in the winter, it is definitely nice to see others wear a nice heritage jacket to complete the look. There are different kinds of taste when it comes to jackets so you can really play with it. I used to rock a Sailor's heavy weather coat when I lived in Japan and it looked very cool and kept me warm.

[@ddanj0331]

How does selvedge denim especially at a higher weight wear in hot and humid climates like Hawaii?

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

It’s okay especially when I’m out riding. Summer can get blistering hot so I try not to wear the heavy duty ones. Some people don’t mind it though.

[@HARMAN7777]

I'M IN MONTANA SO I'M ROCKIN THE RURAL HERITAGE STYLE WITH LOTS MORE FLANNEL AND ENGINEER BOOTS.

That’s nice Bill! 🤙

Hey Brother, Since you like Heritage clothing stuff, Have you though about looking into getting a Vintage N1 Deck Jacket ( US Navy) , I wanna see what you think about , I think they are cool..👍🏻

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

I have certainly thought of that jacket. I think the only thing holding me back is the hot weather here in Hawaii. I don’t get to wear my heritage clothing much because of that but I will be traveling soon enough so maybe you’ll get to see me wear that jacket soon!

[@adrianbarba8330]

Aloha 🤙I bought a pair of brave star and they shrunk big time after I soaked them in water. What would u recommend for them to go back to the original size. Much appreciated

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Oh man, which one did you get? Some Selvedge are not preshrunk. Most Sanforized Selvedge are washed once to preshrink it a little bit so that it doesn’t shrink too much.

[@adrianbarba8330]

@@StylishGreaseMonkey I got 21.5 ones they shrunk easy an inch around the waist.. haha I should have probably gotten a bigger size to start off with. They used to fit me really well tho I thought they were big in the beginning

[@arankin2914]

@@adrianbarba8330 just wear them at home for a few days and they should stretch back out.

[@adrianbarba8330]

@@arankin2914 thanks much appreciated. Might give it a try they are almost unwearable how tight they got.

[@onikzenitram38]

Love those pants u mention their Japan jeans where can I find them Brotha ?

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Check out their website: japanblue-jeans.com/bottoms.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA9NGfBhBvEiwAq5vSy-6UyYNQnlfnwKTjSdkQcx891MX5-L1McrncBBnWwvrWqyJJoIxZchoCbM0QAvD_BwE. They will work with you on shipping. Also, take a look at ‘Grailed’, there are those that sell these there. Good luck brother!

[@Youdumbdeafnblind]

Do they allow loud laughing in Hawaii? Or just a-lo- HA

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Hahaha! Of course they do.... but ALOHA is good!
