Except these are high quality products that are often handcrafted and meant to be used and worn, they age very well especially the leather goods. Most hypebeast stuff is just printed logos/graphics, some have unique and interesting silhouettes but most of these brands use cheap material and don't age well, a lot of the kids who buy hypebeast don't know anything about style or fashion but are just in it to flex and hide their insecurities with expensive clothing.

Things that have been worth it in my life 1. Good belt - I have one that has been a daily user for 14 years 2. Good Gym - You need to stay in shape for your mental and physical health 3. Good cast iron cookware. - Buy once, buy for life 4. A good mattress - You spend almost a third of your life here, and generally you only buy one once, ever, in your adult life. 5. A high quality mountain bike, bike shoes, pedals, and bike rack - Some money is just spending on your hobbies. A bike shop bike is way different than a Walmart bike.

A bed and mattress is way underrated. Also underwears.

[@moorshound3243]

[@wreckingopossum]

@@moorshound3243 As far as knives go, don't spend a whole lot. You can spend hundreds on a knife, but you shouldn't. In the kitchen, a Victorinox 10" chef knife is $43 on Amazon. Pocket knives from the army surplus store have served me well. Guns are always expensive but longer barrels help reduce recoil. If you want to save some money, learn to pack your own ammo.

[@barvdw]

Mattresses should probably be replaced more often, perhaps not every 10 years as some say, but not much longer. You will notice the difference, even with quality mattresses. I'm almost 40, and will be looking at buying a replacement for the one I bought when I moved into this place about 12 years ago in the next few years.

[@barvdw]

@pragmaticskeptic that's not that many. I noticed quite the difference, and something I didn't expect, the old mattress weighing much more, from all the dust and skin flakes that accumulated in them. I'm not even going to mention the many stains it had. I slept a lot better after changing.

[@73seewerner]

couldn't agree more. however, i'm sure the breadth and depth of the watch market played into it - fashion evolves so seriously in watches. a dress watch should never go out of style, but modern fashion says a diver or a field watch is perfectly fine to wear with a suit. then you get into materials, movements, etc. finally, get into brands and country of origin and you have an all-out war on your hands. maybe he just wanted to avoid yet another battle over whether a seiko qualifies as a quality watch. :-D

Leather weekender - I had one myself. Got it on clearance and paid a fraction of the price. That thing has literally travelled around the world with me. These days it outlived it usefulness. When I travel now, I'm taking more things than will fit in an weekender. But in my younger days, it was the way to go. Can't disagree at all with the guy. Socks - I still prefer cotton socks over silk, cashmere, or wool. Personal preference. But boot socks give extra cushion and are the way to go if you are putting some miles on your feet while travelling. Overcoat - I haven't worn one in years. But they only really serve a purpose if in wet environments with low humidity. Most overcoats can be replaced with umbrellas without the nuisance of carrying a large coat around when not needed for wear. I would only bother with a overcoat if I was wearing a suit. Gloves - I have nice gloves at home. In the vehicle and in my day pack. if the weather changes on short notice you will be very happy you had them on you. Cufflinks - I have never owned a dress shirt that required them. Although I admit there have been times in the past when I have considered going that route. Nice suggestion on the OP's part regarding the types of cufflinks to acquire. Pinky ring. I'm a bit perplexed by this. The only people still wearing pinky rings are, athletes, performers, and godfathers or mob bosses. I can't claim to know many high value men, but the few I do know don't wear pinky rings. They don't wear any rings other than a wedding band. Fountain pen - A status symbol for sure. I don't own one myself but had considered it back in my college days. These days, I just carry a standard pen with me and it hardly sees any use. Writing on paper is slowly becoming a dead art unfortunately. And other than signing your name on the bill for payment with your meals, you probably won't have another regular use for one. Goodyear welted shoes - I have never been in a suit long enough to justify one of these expenses. Belts - Every man should own more than one belt just like every man should own more than one tie. Just saying. I go with a braided belt. And with things like holster clips for cell phones, the leather starts to give in probably less than six months. I'd suggest a high end belt only if you are going to put any holsters or devices on it to wear it out prematurely. Camera - I have to disagree with this. A high end camera is just a pain in the $%% to carry around. If you have an event that you want professional pictures of, hire the professional. Let him or her carry that camera and equipment around. Wallet - I have to disagree with this as well. Cheap is better. I've got different wallets for different things. I have the micro wallet for minimal carry that just slides in the front pocket. I have the bill fold wallet that is longer and intended to be in the interior pocket of a sports jacket or suit. And I have a tri-fold which is carried in the back pocket. I replace the tri-fold about once a year. The other two - they last a life time regardless of quality. And women look at what you have in the wallet, not necessarily the wallet itself. But women will look at each other's purses and not the contents of the purse. Figure that one out why don't you. Honorable mention not mentioned. Watches. Regular wrist watch and a pocket watch. I have both. Women notice both. They also notice if you go cheap with either or. There is just something about a status of a man who asked for the time doesn't have to pull out his cell phone to tell you. Women notice this sort of thing and expect women to ask if they really want to see what type of watch you are wearing or as an ice breaker.

I don't think the camera is a wise investment. Yes, they produce significantly better photos than a phone, but it's a law of diminishing return. You can get better photos on a $600 entry level camera, anything beyond that seems like overkill for normal people who will only use it to document trips and such. Beyond that, the skill to use a $5,000+ camera is something that takes a lot of time to develop. Realistically, someone could get an entry level DSLR for ~$600 and that will service them fine. Then they can upgrade from there if they want better quality, but investing thousands of dollars into a specialized piece of equipment seems like irresponsible advice to give to a generalized audience.

As I am found of traditional wet shaving, I get a huge pleasure out of an excellent straight razor and a silvertip badger brush. Interestingly old new stock seems to be the best option for me with straight razors. Mainly as the 8/8 (big blades) are not that much produced anymore. My favorite razor that I regularly save with was produced somewhere around 1863 .... as a bagger brush i can endorse the company Thäter which produce shaving brushes since 1913 But be warned, straight razors can be a rabbit hole as men's fashion can be.

I would slightly disagree with the wallet, bag and belt. I have had all three made by a local craftsman to my specifications for a fraction of the costs you quote. My belt is going on 15 years of daily wear and with care looks perfect. Custom made is generally equal or superior quality to a brand name at a lesser cost.

[@rustyshackleford17]

Unfortunately, what he promotes is fashion-brand oriented meaning there will always be a rather significant markup relative to the quality of the product. Luckily with the internet, it really isn't too hard to find superior products for substantially lower costs.

Gavin Brien price may depend on where you live. There are places where everything Sven mentioned could be purchased for half of the price he said. My Casio watch cost only $40 or so in Hungary twelve years ago. Even back then, it would have been at least double that price in Germany or USA. My point is, in a 'low-cost' country you'd get the same quality for a lower price.

[@barvdw]

I tend to agree that quality lasts longer, but not with socks. I have bought some socks of approx. €30, and wore them out in less then a year. Yes, cheap socks will wear out, too, perhaps even a little faster, but €10-20 per pair is my go to now, perfectly balancing quality and price.

[@ramanshah7627]

Totally agree. I have some fancy Pantherella socks, and they're really nice, but it's not like they last any longer than cheaper socks. Socks are fundamentally consumable garments. Honestly, normal socks in discreet solids (navy, charcoal, brown) are plenty for looking and feeling good in classic tailoring. They're not trivially cheap if you get an over-the-calf format in merino wool or a similar good material - but yep, such socks at ~$15 per pair are readily available online. For grown-up casual looks, I like some of the colorful patterned Pantherella cotton socks. Many designers of "fun socks" go too loud in their colors and patterns to be tasteful unless you're quite young. Pantherella's designs are nice. Sometimes you can get them on clearance, as for Christmas-themed socks that offer color schemes that are useful year-round, but which by mid-winter the maker is trying to get rid of.

Welcome to the 80 / 20 rule. Of course, you can find a duffle bag for under $1000 retail, but if you use a leather that costs 10 times as much, it won't give you 10 times the quality increase.

None of us took one (which my dad regrets a little) but for me, I was 16 at the time I believe, so still growing, for my mom, she just didn't like such coats and my dad, well at the time he told him self "nah, when am I gonna wear it" but as I said already, he regrets it a little, now.

Yes exactly right. I asked a talented craftswoman leather worker friend to make me a bag twenty yesrs ago and it’s still beautiful and functional .i could choose my own leather , colour and even contributed to its design but perhaps something that I valued was also was putting the money into the pockets of an artisan and not a corporation , keeping craftsmanship and independent makers skills and profession alive and well. The cost was also far less but the quality far higher than a high street store , even the high end ones . As an independent artist and maker myself it’s so important to commission independent craftspeople particularly now in times when we are all trying to use less and waste less .its also not that difficult to do or find someone .the satisfaction of carrying something of great quality, individually made and designed is very high . If I can ever go to an individual craftsperson I will whether it’s for a woolen pullover , a belt , even clothes . They rarely prove to be more expensive than a stores bought item in even the mid term .

Rarely is the case as many oddly find dressing well as a threat to their masculinity so yes, you are going to be putting out a serious amount of money. Just prioritize and manage your money wisely and it truly is not painful as a decade later with your purchases still not only usable//wearable but in good as they day you bought it condition you will find that you saved literally thousands not having to replace cheaper low end items constantly. For example i still over 20 years later have and wear my first pair of bespoke shoes i ever had made for myself, there is truly not much you can say that about anymore especially footwear. Now at the time it seemed like i was truly spending a great deal of money though decades later, i have in reality saved far more than i spent to get true quality instead of going on the cheap and thinking it was good enough, or dressing like i just do not care and endlessly having to replace over-priced low quality clothing just because it had some brand name splattered all over it. The investment is worth it as well it will always pay for itself and then some with time, leaving you with more money to get out and do the things you want to do.

Mont Blanc makes excellent writers. However I actually had the option of a Meisterstuck and went with Pilot's Custom 823 instead. For a lower price you get a large gold nib, much larger ink capacity than a and a much easier filling mechanism to work with. Now this has to do with how I use pens and I've been using them for 8 years now so I know I prefer to just not have to bother filling it for a while. I'll always advocate for good fountain pens, but definitely check out Sailor, Pelikan, the Lamy 2000 and ESPECIALLY Pilot. I have NEVER met a Pilot pen I haven't loved.

[@leonro]

I've tried Pilot pens, actually! They felt really nice. However, I'm still using a ~0.4€ pen I got (new!) because it has the smallest tip I could find, and because my handwriting is hard to understand if the lines were thicker.

[@datdabdoe1417]

Also, If you're more of a fountain pen hobbyist, Noodlers has some interesting offerings that arent really seen elsewhere in the industry. That is: wet nibs with Super high flex. They're not the most luxurious, but they are a very different experience to other fountain pens, and they come at an affordable price.

[@damian_madmansnest]

@@datdabdoe1417 You have to press really hard to flex steel nibs and this defeats the point of fountain pens writing easily without pressure, and makes writing both uncomfortable and unnatural. If you look at some examples of fountain pen writing from the beginning of the XX century (when everyone used what is now vintage gold nibs) you’ll never find extreme flex because that’s not how a fountain pen writes. All thick shading in old handwritten texts was made with dip nibs, and if that’s what you want it’s better to make yourself a frankenpen with a dip nib than go for Noodlers or FPR or whatever.

Being someone when does leatherwork and made belts I am going to disagree on the folded side belt being better quality than an edge painted belt. I feel a better term would be a luxury item that is worth the money over better quality. My current edge painted belt has last me almost 20 years now. I'd say it's good quality.

[@knightowl7]

you failed to mention a quality wristwatch..In my opinion a man should always wear a watch, it's so much more elegant than pulling out a phone to check the time and a lot more suble

[@opibegoob7585]

Miel van Velzen yes, they need help to learn the joys of horology, and timekeeping.

[@sund4477]

True. Using a smartphone to check the time is inconvenient and inelegant. A good watch is far better for that and looks stylish.

[@ImDembe]

With his style a pocketwatch would fit better but a watch is nice but it dosn't need to cost 1000$+ you can find quality for a few hundred $.

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

[@Wwisp]

Duke Of Prunes how is using a smartphone instead something to look down upon? it’s more convenient accurate and they can also replace a lot more items, plus any decent model is going to last you a full day. It’s similar to bashing somebody because they wear streetwear instead of traditional clothing, break the mold.

I second the leather bag suggestion. It always stands out as a cut above the ordinary

I've been meaning to get a canvas or leather messenger but never find one in a reasonable price bracket, as far as carryon bags and such I have a military duffle or a other holdall, expensive bags left out of sight on a coach or plane luggage I'd be more afraid of an expensive looking bag being stollen than an unassuming duffle

It is a kind of crossover word. He is a native German speaker and in German the word for leather is Leder pronounced lay-der such that ‘ledder’ is somehow in-between. Great channel btw!

Sven is awesome. He makes it easy for my man to look good when we go out and for me to carry myself like a lady more. We feel like an unstoppable duo when we put our best foot forward out together and receive so many compliments, we start to get bashful. We get let into places we wouldn't normally be allowed to all the time, simply because we look like we belong. And like so many people seem to gloss over, its not about spending $$$$, its about taking the time to find quality pieces that suit YOU! For most, it'll involve patience and searching and a bit of luck. Scouring thrift and vintage shops, not everything in the video is what everyone needs, its just things that are worth their price tag. Back in the day, fast fashion didn't exist. Belts, gloves, shoes and wallets would last a man a lifetime, but some reason we just expect to keep buying those items every few years. Which do you think costs more?

You do not need to spend 5-10k on a nice DSLR camera 😂 max you need to spend is 2k for someone who isn't a professional, if you actually know how to use it you can out perform the camera (to an extent)

Yeah, spending that much on a piece of equipment that you barely know how to use is ridiculous. Of course, if you develop a genuine interest in photography and you get better then it's justified.

[@Rustygulley-r3r]

Pelikan M805 is just as classic as a Montblanc, but a lot less expensive. I also like broad nibs. Your 3B nib looks like is has been ground at an angle. Did you go to a nib smith to have it done? One thing you left out is a leather shoulder bag for computer, books, tablet, cell phone, emergency kit. There are a lot of poorly made ones out there, and a lot of over done designs, but a classic, simple leather shoulder bag is a must. A cheap one screams "poor choice." A well made one is understated, classy and goes with anything.
