    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 buy less and buy better.

    Oh man. My first time discovering raw denim, I bought so many pairs from Gustin to Bravestar to N&F that all didn't fit after I started working out. I call that first wave a lesson. Now I know every last inch about myself when it comes down to fit 😁

  • @jeremysano5170
    @jeremysano5170 Před 3 lety +12

    I laughed the whole way through this. My struggle understanding raw denim when I first got into it 😂 I remember looking at sizing chart upon sizing chart, video after video, and soooo many different fit types. I got lucky on the sizing for my first pair (15oz Bravestar Reg taper), and have loved raw denim ever since. All I can say is buying the more expensive Japanese brands was a stressful Russian roulette of will it fit or not. I love my Momotaro’s but idk if I’ll be getting another for a long time. Great video. I actually watched some of your denim videos a good few times 😂

    Reminds me of the first time I walked into a bespoke shoe maker after wearing off the rack my entire life till that point. First few questions were overwhelming then the person I was talking to managed to figure out I knew very little. I was freaking baffled. Good on him to turn the conversation as a discussion on lifestyle and preferences. They gave me recommendations and showed me examples to figure out how to proceed but before that, it was a technical spiel that made me go: Wait... what?
