I absolutely love this series(?), I don’t know what to call it but whatever it is, I love watching it. Your videos are literally soo so fun to watch and I always get so much inspo from your fits despite us having completely different styles since I dress more girly, but these always help :)
Cannot praise Fracap hiking boots enough. Coming in under $400 new, I’ve had mine for a little under five years, they wear like iron and aged beautifully.
I love that you highlighted the duffel coat, it's been my all-time favorite coat for a few years. I was obsessed with this style of coat since in high school I saw the male main character of the manga Horigami wear a navy blue one. It wasn't until moving out to the city for my first big boy job several years later that I found an Eddie Bauer rendition at Goodwill. It looked just like the one I saw in the manga, and I've worn it everywhere since. It's the perfect rain coat!
Hello, everyone! The archipelago that Fair Isle is a part of is Shetland. I will not have this go unmentioned. Sincerely, man who wrote his master's thesis on the Shetland dialect
Merci pour ces vidéos ! Les magazines japonais sont tellement intéressants avec des références de marques et d'objets recherchés et beaux en terme de matière et de coupe, j'aime beaucoup l'attention apportée à la qualité, je n'ai pas l'impression que ce soit autant le cas en occident !
I really like your video series about city boys look because it fits so much my aesthetic. I'm a little bit older and I don't live in a big city, so I have a less fashionable style. I wear a lot of second hand knitted sweaters (thanks Vinted). Most of them are oversized so my cat can come inside the sweater to have a little nap. They go well with high waisted pants, dark colored, tailored and very classic and button up shirts with nice patterns or oversized.
As a non-watch person taking a mild interest in watches, I found Seiko 5 watches are nice automatic watches that you can catch second hand for not too much!! The square ones are super fun too. Obviously just check it's working right for a couple of days if buying it second hand!
There's an Italian company called Fay who's been making 4 hooks coats since the 80's. They make all sort of things with the 4 hooks closing (down jackets, vests, leather jackets). They had for a few years a premium line designed by Alessandro Squarzi of Fortela. I would shop vintage or second hand. As for those "whole cuts hiking boots" in Italian they do have a specific name, they're called "pedule". As they're originally from the Alps I believe that there's a German term too (idk). The OG versions have a true "Norvegese" construction, there's a Norwegian company (the boots are made in Austria) called Dundas who still sell those. Also Limmer makes those in New Hampshire (they're MTM line) . Then you have the ones who are just "Norwegian Welted" like the Paraboots or the RTW Limmers. And then a ton of companies just make a stitchdown version i.e. Danner, Fracap, Velasca. Fracaps have like 30 different uppers options and 4 different outsoles.
If you have trouble telling time, I recommend getting a field watch that has the minutes written out along with the hours. That means you don't have to do any guesswork. Little hand points to 1, big hand points to 37. Bob's your uncle.
Sometimes a little bit of nylon/polyester/polyamide (1-20%) is okay to help strengthen the weave of the wool and make the coat last longer. But anymore than that, you should definitely be skeptical of the manufacturer cutting corners.
Public service announcement (😂): you can buy from Japanese stores that don’t ship to the US using ZenMarket. Not sponsored! I’ve used them to buy things from bigger brands like Muji and boutique shops, too.
Interesting lil history of the duffel coat. I had a vintage duffel which cost £25 at the most here in the UK. Heavy cosy goodness for cold winds and freezing temperatures. There are so many vintage and used watches to check out. Lots of classical styles are copied and available at cheap prices by Rotary, Longines, Tissot, Seiko/Citizen. Braun are mostly cheap for bauhaus styles, Mondaine Swiss railway clock style. Lots of military designs look cool (I think). There's so many. I only recommended buying from reputable watch sellers and not to buy a quartz watch that is maybe over 30yrs old (the batteries can leak and damage the internal functions)
Not a huge fan of duffle coats (personally) but as soon as you started going over them I was hoping you would mention the fireman's coat and I was so happy when you did
Watches are a great accessory and I'd love a video on them. They are a little tricky because there are so many options and styles and name brand luxury vs more affordable options. Then there's buying vintage! But Id love to hear them talked about when looking at them as a part of an outfit!
I for one use watches as jewellery/accessory: the ones I use the most are from "Swatch", they last forever, the battery is changed for free. They even changed a worn out bracelet on the one I used for years for free....
Oh Boy, am i excited for you to get into watches. I think you should be careful cause it can be a rabbit hole as big as fashion is, but it's rewarding in the same ways. If you love quality in fashion you'll get the watch community! Start small. You'll se that even going for a cheap digital casio that fit your wrist is gonna make a big difference on how you perceive the watch as a part of your fits.
such a great video as I'm putting a Buyee order together right now! no one bid on the CDG duffle that's 8 cents right now... just watched Submarine for the first time and loved the two character's coats!
Love your videos and I enjoy watching them. Big Fan. Especially the cityboy videos. I’m heavily influenced by the Japanese. 😊 Have you or will you consider doing something on the styling for the Patagonia retro X fleece?
Watched a good two part BBC documentary called “Fair Isle: Living on the Edge” during Covid, some of it followed the current textile artists that live there. Might have to hunt around to watch it online but it’s nice Sunday afternoon type viewing! Also true duffel coats to me are too close to everything I had as a child (growing up in the UK), but I’ve been lusting after the metal closures for a while. Where can I buy good closures so I can make it myself?? 😖
13:21 I remember telling a friend I struggled to read an analog clock in a timely manner. This conversation ended with the revelation that most people just ballpark the time for the minute hand. You and I may be the only ones trying to read the minute hand precisely.
I can’t tell the time from my watch either and still love it, haha. I mean, I can. But it takes longer than reaching for my phone… my friends always make fun of this. But I just like having an accessory on my left wrist.
lovely content--not to out-dad you, I'm sure the golfing Prince had a big effect on making Fair Isle sweaters popular, but I think that's burying the lead. Fair Isle women would knit those elaborate patterns, especially when a local fisherman died unexpectedly at sea, to support the fatherless family. Also, a Scottish explorer, William Bruce, took hundreds of pieces w/ him on an expedition to Antarctica because the wool was so practical. Just wanted to share b/c I think it's dope when a fashion piece has bad-ass history.
Casio Watches are awesome! If you want to get into watches, please try to avoid "Fashion Brands" and "Micro Brands." They almost always either overpriced or a disappointment, or both. The older brands that have been around for a while tend to draw from the history and context of watches so their looks are more coherent.
Surprised (or maybe not surprised?) about Project Watches. My wife got me a watch they made in collaboration with the Josef Albers foundation (which arrived months late) and then another one that has two sets of dials for two timezones. Both really nice watches! I also really like Nixon and I’ve always had one Casio whether analog or digital
I would make an educated guess that the polyester and nylon fabric is in a lining of the sleeves or pockets or something? Hard to tell when they don't specific Shell fabric vs Lining or otherwise
I live in Japan - it will be 15 years in March - and quite honestly I never ever see people clothed in this manner. Maybe a piece here or there as an accent or feature, and mainly on the very young or trendy set. I do see many beautifully dressed men and women who don classic lines and silhouettes that employ natural fibers which drape and move well. City Boy? Not so much. Perhaps it’s my eye that sees what It wants to see?
You get used to telling time on ur watch and you only need to loosely know the time most of the time! I got an issue miyake watch in Japan that I've been rocking a lot, it's all black. I bought some spingle boots, been rocking the longer trench coats/wool overcoat and denim coats for winter.

dad's confused about the clock again oh dear
my mom was wearing a fully broken watch as a bracelet the other day so I guess it runs in the family 😅
More than one member of my family can’t read analog clocks 😆
@ we exist 🥲
😭 Slow reading counts in my book @@percish
man this channel just makes me feel so seen... love the city boy style and love getting to learn more about it alongside you!
Hello, everyone! The archipelago that Fair Isle is a part of is Shetland. I will not have this go unmentioned.

I was lucky enough to find a secondhand navy Gloverall a while back. Nothing makes me feel more like a city boy than stomping around in it.

@percish ah yeah they have some really nice ones!!! looking forward to seeing it in a future video
@@percish Citizen tsuyosa is peak, but I'd also recommend Baltic watches for something on the more unique/vintage-vibey side ($500-$800)
I'm not super into watches but I did buy an eco-drive, digital-analog citizen watch as my one "nice watch" and I'm really happy with it
Omg!!!! Same with the watch!!!!!!!!! Lol, reading time takes me minutes too!
love this 😍 the history portion, the shop recommendations, the vibes ❤

Listening to Percia talking about Montgomery coats while wearing a Montgomery coat that needs new frog buttons is just the perfect experience for me.

Always tempted by a duffel but it would have limited use for me as it wouldn’t be nearly warm enough for our winters.
Great video as always - please more content similar to this

Where do you pick up your copies of Popeyes? I live in BK too and have looking for somewhere to buy them!
How did you get a hold of those Popeye magazines and how can I find other brands?
The coat section is tripping me out because in like 2014 I had a jackets that looked like 5:56 and 7:33. They weren’t as expensive tho 😵💫
fracap is also a brand that makes that style of hiking boots

@@ravelrm it just felt like it happened so fast! one moment they were sending me watches and the next they were gone
@ a toast to companies that put out cool stuff in spite of their untimely demise
the casio ae90 watch is digital, but the top part of it is a digitized analog watch, so you can have both lol
I would make an educated guess that the polyester and nylon fabric is in a lining of the sleeves or pockets or something? Hard to tell when they don't specific Shell fabric vs Lining or otherwise
@@skittykay I assume they’re talking about the shell! Otherwise I’ve never seen it denoted that way
yeah I do see they do break it out into lining vs shell in other listings and most of their shells are 80% wool 20% polyamide
@percish ah okay interesting. I didn't know much about duffle coats before this video so I wasn't sure if a lining was standard or not
@ traditionally they didn’t have livings, but a lot of the newer versions do
Wool becomes much more stable and durable with the addition of plastic fibers. That’s why they’re adding the plastic fibers.
Paraboot uses a norwegian welt in contrast to the other alternatives you mentioned.And their are made in france, that is costly.
Danners are made in Oregon with union labor which is probably 3 times the price then Paraboots labor cost. (I wouldn't buy Danners).
Check the Ladage & Oelke Duffle Coat. The best.
Advertized as a 34oz loden fabric weight; what does 34oz actually mean? It is supposed to be wearable...
Watches are an absolute black hole of time and money, you will not regret it
Careful that watch iceberg is deep, and you can spend all of the money. That said there's a ton of fun stuff in the sub $1000 range
