- In this video, we are simplifying our wardrobe and focusing on the four essential jackets every minimalist needs. By choosing only four versatile pieces, you can easily create a range of stylish and practical outfits without overwhelming your closet. Of course, these four jackets will depend on your lifestyle and climate but I challenge you to embrace the minimalist mindset and pick only four jackets.

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. - Jak na to + styl

Ditch the Tiege stuff, guys. Bundubeard is miles better.
My “heavy” coat is a Pendleton that’s got down in it and has a shearling collar. Absolutely love it. Plenty warm even for Minnesota.
Honestly I have a peacoat that I wear as my casual/formal/winter coat.
I feel like they’re super versatile and easy to dress up or down. For reference I live in Michigan.
Same here and I wear a eddie bauer parka but want to add a pea coat sometime in the near future
I got a Banana Republic peacoat about 8 years ago. It's not available anymore, but it is the style with a removable "liner" in the hem, which is more just like a fake layer, since it doesn't actually line the cost, just closes off the usual gaps a peacoat would leave - the front of the chest, and neck. It's a fantastic coat, and I wear it as my fall/winter go to coat. They're super versatile, especially with the removable fake layer.
I did not take care of it, but the exterior looks great, I just need to reline it 😅
Yep. I still have my Navy issued wool coat and it’s super warm
In Australia we have a wool work jacket called a “ bluey “ , cheap as chips and lasts a lifetime.
Love this channel, Thank you for all the time and work you put in these videos.
I have been wearing my F&T trucker jacket over a Tee Shirt and 10 year hoodie. It’s all I have needed so far this winter living in the Fort Erie area. I love the rugged look.
Love the Alberta shout out. I work snow removal up here in the far north of the province where with the windchill it gets to minus 83 degrees Fahrenheit on occasion. I bought some of the fleeces you mentioned in your cold weather videos and they have been a huge upgrade over my typical mid layer (usually a Sherpa lined flannel or a crew neck). However with the workers on the oil fields and construction sites here you rarely actually see heavy parkas unless it's people who do not move much like equipment operators or sign holders. Typically it's just heavy bibs or coveralls and a lighter jacket. This is to prevent sweating.
Honestly this video not only taught me about something I've been contemplating investing in but also your great at presenting this info clearly and naturally. Kudos👏🤝
This is a really well done video and I’m going to start looking at a shearling coat to add to my collection. I also like some trench coats for formal outer wear
As an Albertan who actually bought a b-7 and absolutely loves it as a winter coat I love that you mentioned it. I’ve been tempted to make a video on it because like you said you never see the things
How much roughly do those run ? I’ve seen them some places pretty expensive like a few thousand
For sure make a video about one and reply to this when you do. I’m so curious about them
As a fellow Albertan, I'd love to know more. Which one did you go with?
@@justicebinder6544 I got mine through bison trading out of Vancouver and it is an aero leather jacket. From what I’ve read they are very high end in the leather work and they actually had the contract to make them for the American military during ww2. It was made to measure. I couldn’t be happier with both aero and bison trading. I paid 1800 if i remember correctly. So not the most expensive of the b7 models but i can’t complain in any way about the jacket
@@KyleMeyer949 not cheap by any measure either. Something I’ll probably hold off on till I have more money. I live in Missouri, and it definitely can be well below freezing here but it’s not THAT cold where I need a b7.
Thank you for adding that detail about how work jackets are supposed to fit. I just got my first chore coat from J.C. King and it fit exactly as you said: boxy. Glad I came across your video in my “chore coat fit” search, looks like I got the correct size after all!
Good list. I would add a dedicated rain coat, especially if you live in the PNW. Also I get a lot more use out of my down puffer than my parka. I get way too hot in the latter unless it's 0F / -15C or lower.
Thank you for the info
I have a B7 copy I bought from Willis & Geiger 20+ years ago. Don't need it all that often but I love this coat. So warm, used by troops in the Aleutians I believe in WW2. My college coach flew B24s in the war and he said it might be 60 degrees at take-off and -25 flying over the Himalayas to give Tojo his presents.
I love chore coats. Feels like a very versatile piece
I have a stupid collection of coats and jackets. The B-7 Aleutian Parka is awesome. Just weight is difficult to travel with. Love all my Shearing as they are warm and durable. For extremely cold regions I have PHD Omega Parka, out of the UK. A U.S. option would be Feathered Friends. Thanks for a great channel. Always get some good ideas on clothing. Just got my first pair IronHeart. Based on your review. Cheers.
Just got my Ship John Wills jacket... so excited
I just ordered a really nice Jacket, from Weatherwool. The All Around Jacket. I am a big fan of them, when it comes to outside gear. I have their Rak, the Patriot, and just ordere the AAJ and the Patriot Vest
Coats and Jackets are some of my favorite items. I have all the varaints, down, synthetic down, shells, insulated ski jackets, Pea coat, leather jacket, suede jacket, Rain coats, softshells, yea its gotten out of control over the years. Helly Hansen & Arcteryx are my favorite "Active/get outside" outwear brands, that I continue to purchase.
My main rotation is a B-3, a duffle coat, a houndstooth formal coat and two denim jackets. One of the denim jacket is a green stone island from the 90s and the other is a 1969 Levi’s type 3. I live in Germany, so it does get cold, but nothing extreme.
Great video Carl 👍. Have you ever done a video about work socks especially over the calf heavy duty work socks
I've got a couple of the Patagonia hemp canvas coats. The ranch jacket and the hooded jacket. Excellent value and VERY tough construction. Also pliable right out of the box.
Those are some of my favorite!
Great video to help with figuring out how to wear better and have less items.
Your videos are always great, but I can see you put a little more effort in this one, great to see you grow brother your advice is always great and you gave me the opportunity to know more about workwear, boots and overall quality garments. Thank you brother.
I met Thedi quite often in Berlin at the selvedgerun. He is such a humble guy but an amazing artisan. His belts and jackets are unique and a pure show of craftsmanship. With Thedi you can't go wrong
I think you could also add a weather/rain category here as well. Obviously there’s some cross over but it could stand alone as it’s own category as well.
If I lived somewhere colder I would love a fleece lined denim jacket. I like how long the style has been around. Timeless vibe
Nicely done, Carl. Don't forget your links in the video.
Great list!
These are mine. What are everybody else’s?
Work jacket - hoodies I got for free from work. Also, a Patagonia work vest I have.
Casual Jacket - Flint and Tinder Waxed trucker, Flint and Tinder 10 year hoodie
Formal Jacket - Pendleton wool overcoat or Charcoal Chore Coat from Taylor Stitch
Heavy Coat - Pendleton wool overcoat or my Indigo Sashiko jacket from Taylor stitch
Great video. Are you planning on explaining the motherlode winning phrase/clues in an upcoming video?
I have the B-3 and B-7! Willis & Geiger!
I love the trucker style jackets/work jackets from places like Freenote but im an XL in gun but i need a XXL for torso length. I wish some of these places offered tall options :(
I like the Dickies diamond quilted jacket for a everyday Early winter late fall jacket
I have a Mountain Hardware parka and only use it a few times a year but boy is it worth it when you need to be outside for a few hours. Buy them in the early summer you save about 40% on a $700 jacket. Have a sherling bomber jacket and thats my favorite once they break in there's nothing better , just a cool nostalgic jacket. Only problem is the occasional smart ass that asks were you flew in from.
I purchased a Orvis waxed Montana Work Jacket and it checks all the boxes. I haven’t seen you review anything from Orvis (or I missed it) but their a great company.
That B7 Parka is a look and a half 🔥
For leather jackets the BEST quality/price ratio I've ever found is Soul Revolver. Fantastic wide range of styles for around $400-500. Sounds like a lot but honestly anything less isn't worthwhile, just get denim.
I highly recommend their Ghost Rider which is a simplified classic 50's style and the Café Racer style, a bit more modern. Both have the back pleats/gussets that allow a slimmer fit with ease of motion. Their bonber styles are great too.
I have a Schott Peacoat and it does dress up very well with a suit.
Hey!! Here comes Steve! & his jacket
On overcoats, size your first one like a pea coat. To fit on a thick sweater not a suit jacket, looks way better on days you don't need a suit jacket underneath. Pair it with a nice paisley scarf and you're good to go. I have 9 of them in wool melton wool twill, cotton twill and leather. If you're tall, long coats are the only way to go.
I’d be interested in your thought on Carhartts Sherwood safety coat vs the Yukon.
Hey Carl! I haven't seen you mention my personal favorite of the work/chore coats, the Le Laboureur Wool Chore Coat. You should definitely check that one out!! It's pretty consistently under 200 bucks, and super thick wool, simple and pretty perfect for me
What brand would you recommend for 100% wool?
Coolest jackets are the Crust Punk jackets. Putting studs and spikes is one thing, but building up a band patch collection as you go to more and more shows, building up a sweaty patina from going in the pits… They are like the shield to a spartan. Every crust punk dies with his/her jacket it’s a rule
I bought a pea oat from the thrift store for 20$ that I use as my casual/winter/formal wear. I live in LA not so much for winter haha
You need 2 million subs yesterday
Personally I wear a speedwear trailmaster style jacket as its functional , waterproof and its made from 12 oz waxed canvas so it's durable enough. I wear it in autumn, spring and winter, summer I wear a beige denim jacket or denim vest.
Waxed cotton/canvas jacket- Doubles as a work jacket and a rain jacket
Nice jacket (honestly become less important nowadays)
Late fall/early winter coat- You said it, a nice wool coat like the peacoat would be good.
"It's so cold, I shouldn't be outside" coat
For my coats and jackets I like military surplus. And they have a specific history to them.
Hey Carl, have you ever tried Ginew? They have a jacket that is lined by Pendleton that looks amazing. It may never be in my budget, but would love to see an in depth review!
Spier Mackay makes some great coats
I also got a cashmere long coat at a 2nd hand store...just like I did my babour...I'm bias but really if you have patience (or want to cultivate that virtue) only shop at thrift for everything other than base layers.
So true!
I replaced my chore jacket with an M65 Field Jacket. It's become my most worn jacket. The lining is removable and best of all, I bought it brand new, complete with liner, from a surplus store for $45.
M-65 is definitely my go to for so many things.
What do you think of P&Co - I like the look of their Outpost, Wayfare and mechanic jackets
Hey Carl,
I never knew you were an electrician. I am 41 and worked in sales(in the blue collar spectrum) and was thinking about becoming an electrician due to components of the day to day work flow.
Any advice how to get a paid apprenticeship? Is that a thing for electricians? New Carhartt sucks btw . Love your channel ❤
Electrician, CZcamsr, fashion guy. So you’re a renaissance man? I like it!
1) Mac coat
2) Heavy overcoat
3) Harrington jacket/ Denim jacket
4) M65 Field jacket repro
:)
Jeez! Another beautiful plaid shirt you have on Carl! Your killing me with your taste in clothing!
Yeah, I was wondering what the brand was. Very handsome shirt.
Filson ?
You often mention buying secondhand, do you use any online/app based secondhand marketplaces? Wondered if there was one better than another. Thanks!
When you get rid of your jackets, don’t forget about me 😂
Hey Carl, what do You think about the Ben Davis Brand? I mean, in every item not only in jackets. Greetings from México vato ✌️😎🇲🇽
My 4 are a A-2, B-3, G-1, & MA-1 Jackets, Very Chic. Be Cool, Like Steve McQueen. (smile)
As a Midwest bloke. I have too many coats lol.
Are you saying you got jackets for sale?
Couldn't find any links
I live in Miami, I love those Bombers tho
Hey Carl, the Peacoat from Triple Aught Design @0:07, have you got one? What're your thoughts? Would definitely appreciate a review since there's very little information about it online… thanks!
I'd love to get one, but unfortunately I dont currently own it.
Love the shirt you are wearing. Whose is it?
Thank you sir! Its from the company Pladra.
@@CarlMurawski I will let them know i saw you wearing it.
This was pretty humorous. The FOUR coats you need, then Carl reels off 45 of em. Also consider some of us move around a lot for work. What works at 10 below is not the same as 25-35 and wet. What works on land is not the same as with a pair of waders. What works in dry isn't the same as a coat you'd wear in the driving rain of the Olympic Rain Forest. It also depends on the needs of the activity. Are you backpacking or sitting still? Are you continually exerting or working in pulses. If I think about it I MIGHT whittle it down to 8 or 8 coats. That's a bit more than four.
Wish I had friends/coworkers like you, I could talk all day about this kinda stuff but no one gives a shit with their Walmart boots snd carhart sweatshirts
Hi Carl. I just discovered a brand I wasn't hip to. I do not believe you've covered them. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on them. Iron and Resin.
Oh yes! I've been meaning to include them on this channel for a while now.
If you’re looking to give any away, I’ll take one off your hands…lol.
I’ve got a wool peacoat, wool university/car coat, Flint & Tinder Waxed Hudson jacket, classic denim jacket, puffer jacket, several vests, carhartt freeswing coat. I think that’s it. Yeah, too many according to my wife. But I feel like I need a leather jacket. Maybe a suede one.
Would you be selling aome of these jackets or coats to your viewers
What is the olive peacoat at 9:48? Looks great
That's our Peacoat in Olive Drab, from WeatherWool. We're working to get a fresh batch of these out in the next couple weeks.
@@WeatherWool Dopee thanks! Will set an in stock alert
Rain coat
Hey Carl - BTW, some of your link under "Products I love" I don't think are working anymore.
Thanks man, I’ve gotta fix those
Dress jacket- new active jacket
Work- faded active jacket
Casual- holy active jacket
Parka- active jacket with hoodie under
I wish I could like your comment twise! So true!
You should do a quick review of your top 15-20 jackets you own. Much more interesting than these "types" videos. Most of us know the staple types and uses.
Where did you get that sofa?
Estate sale! Its by the brand Restoration Hardware.
"Origin Heavy Hoodie" _- Gloverall Montgomery Camel, coat. _US Wings Pea Coat,_ Asbell Wool blanket weight. 😀😀
Looks at my jacket collection that is closer to four dozen than to four, bows head in shame.
You need at least one for each season imo
So where is the 94 pattern DPM British army combat jacket?
I love your styles. Although I buy a plethora of boots; they’re for work. Flannels are for work or leisure. A d gotta admit I’m a jeans flannel and Nike air max guy all day everyday. Anyway any thoughts on Dixxon flannels? They look great but ordering online is my only way of purchasing.
Four Jackets, but obviously not including backup options, and the backup backup options!
Carl, What jacket are you wearing to the far left in the thumbnail?
That was a jacket called the Brooklyn Utility Coat from Articles of Style. Unfortunately they discontinued it a few years ago.
@@CarlMurawski thank you for the reply! Bummer it’s discontinued.
Are you IBEW?
Do a video on sugarcane jeans
Albertan in parka here, well, not right now. It's hot as balls and the place is burning up.
If you'll indulge us, what flannel shirt are you wearing in this video?
Looks like a Pladra.
Me watching this from rio de janeiro, where a cold day makes 26°c
Goat
Jackets are fun and great but it only gets more complicated and waaaaaay more expensive if you start riding motorcycles lol
When are you going to get pair of boots Bison leather boots form JK!?!?
So many boots, so little time...
I don't know where you live my friend but here, you need jackets for winter and autumn/spring, and you also need formal coat for winter, and another for autumn/spring. Wearing a suit with a down jacket on the top looks quite silly in winter, but it's really the same situation with thinner jacket in the autumn.
I’m in a climate where a sweater is warm enough and outerwear is for making statements. I standby the top being more important than shoes. When men workout the upper body gets the most notable development. A good top draws attention to your upper body. Shoes are overrated. No one works out the feet
Love your videos but can never understood your theory that the northern hemisphere is the only place that gets cold?!! Think we need a lesson in geography my friend.
When did I ever say it’s the only place that gets cold? Antarctica is the coldest place on earth and it’s in the southern hemisphere.
Literally in the first line of your video. Have heard you mention it before though. Typing this freezing my butt off in a Australia. We’re just sensitive down here as many mistake it for being warm all the time.
Oh also…you might like to do video on Bluey Jackets. 32ounce wool and genuine work cuts, not slim fit.
@@WeEmptyRooms 😆 no worries man. I can only speak to the things Ive experienced, you know? I haven’t lived anywhere besides this region.
And damn I just thought Bluey was the show my kids watch, not a cool wool jacket company! Will definitely check them out.
Only 4? Don’t be ridiculous… 😁
Your casual option was very weak
None of them would be comfortable hiking or long distance walking. You forgot technical jackets: waterproof, windproof, soft shell, and a breathable insulation piece. So EIGHT Jackets minimum IMO.
If you have to look for a reason to buy something, don't buy it.
