I like how you and Harry constantly upload at the same time, it's really convenient. Love both of your channels, keep up the great work!
Haha, I like that he uploaded the same time too so I have something to watch. Thanks mate!
I'd lean toward taking advantage of the return policy. At that price point, it demands to be a staple piece, and it sounds like there are already plenty of reasons it wouldn't fit the bill. For me, the deal breaker would be the sleeves not permitting additional layering options. It really backs it it into a corner. Plus, when i get something in a compromised colorway, it never quite feels right. On the bright side, seeing a garment up close and really studying it is always a valuable endeavor. If nothing else, you appreciate its eventual replacement all the more.
Yeah completely agree with your points here. Especially about the colour, I’m compromising which is something I try to avoid. Thanks for your feedback!
Wool ploly is a shame for that price. Great video mate
Yeah it’s a bit of a shocker! Thank you
babe wake up its james and harry double upload sunday
Haha 🤣
Always love your videos, James! The other Carmy item I found interesting was the trousers he talked about in series two. He described them as "cuffed Dickies made form worsted wool". I did a bit of research afterwards and it sounds like he was talking about a pair from Thom Browne.
Thank you mate! Oh man, I’m going to have to look into those now haha. Those don’t sound cheap 😅
I really love your videos ! Keep going man clean stuff ;)
Thanks so much mate!
YES NN07!!! finally some love for them.
They have some beautiful stuff!
it should be all natural materials on the outer-shell at least for that price point. Getting pretty annoying that so many brands sell pieces for high prices that rely on plastic. It's not always a bad thing but I don't understand the reason for this item. I have a similar coat from Todd Synder a few years ago that is 100% wool and only cost $150. Brands don't even seem to make clothing like that anymore. Within the space of a few years now you have to search much harder for good materials at a not ludicrous price point.
I agree mate! I wonder if they did it for cost saving or for another reason? I have to say the stretch for the polyester is quite nice to be honest, but I’d take 100% wool any day because it’s way more luxurious.
Hi James, I used to watch your videos many years ago. Back when you were reviewing Yeezy style garments. Glad you’re back on it!
I remember you used to own a really cool Swedish military sweater. Do you still have it?
Awesome to hear thanks for supporting!! The good old days haha. I remember that jumper well, I sold it on eBay quite recently because it was way too long on me and I wasn’t wearing it. I was a nice piece though!
This is a beautiful piece. Also, this is one of my favorite fits Ive seen on your channel. However, It doesn’t seem as though you were particularly excited about it. For the price , id recommend you return it for something you actually love. I agree, this is more of a $150-$300 type piece.
Also, Ill check out The Bear, seems like a cool show
I love the look of it but the fit just wasn’t right for me unfortunately. If it was cheaper I could see myself keeping it, but at this price it needs to be perfect! Thanks for watching man!
First time watching, loved the video. What are you wearing? I liked that sweater a lot
Thanks so much! It’s from wings of liberty, lovely piece!
Fantastic review! Jacket is superb. How about a review of Wonder Looper hoodie?
Thanks! I’d love to try that out one day, it looks like a lovely piece!
I think the corduroy collar zip-up shacket from Hollister is a more budget friendly alternative. Specifically, the navy/plaid.
Thanks man I’ll check it out!
I'm also 178 cm tall which is why i'm wondering what your size and length on your selvedge stretch jeans are because they fit you perfectly!
I like it but it's 26% polyester... especially at that price
Yep agreed, it doesn’t add up!
I was thinking the same, that's crazy
Fire 🔥
It’s very nice, but I also agree that the brown version looks best. I’d avoid it as I’m actually trying to size down my jacket collection by selling through Depop.
Yeah agreed. I have a space in my collection for a wool jacket but I don’t think this is the one for me!
Good video.
See if it can be professionally cropped. Moving the pockets up and a new zip. Or, just buy things you love. When buying clothes, if you love it, it's a keeper.
Thank you! I think that would look really good, although a little hesitant to spend any more money on it as it’s already very expensive. I think I might be best getting a different jacket that fits me better!
@@JamesLeung safest move for sure.
meeeh ... considering the quality and fit of your Aero Jacket, 650 for this one is really overpriced (the lenght is not right IMO). If you need an advice, I vote "Send it back"
Yeah I think I agree with you! I might just wait for Aero to have another sale and get one of those instead haha.
awesome video, but where did you get your cap?🔥
Thank you! It’s an old Oakley cap!
Judging from the fit on you and snapshots from the show it's likely they altered the jacket to fit him, JAW isn't a tall guy and he got pretty jacked for a movie role, has got to be wearing a medium at least. It is definitely a unique jacket, just needs sized up and altered imo, nice informative content as always James!
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, sized up to accommodate the arms and then hemmed to make it shorter. Thanks for watching man!
Hey James, have you looked into Vintage Duofold Tees from the 50s-60s. Based on your previous video and this one I think you would appreciate such pieces.
No I haven’t, I’ll look into those. Thank you! Do you have any?
@@JamesLeung Yes, I recently found a double layered version on my recent trip to Tokyo in one of from an American/Euro workwear archive and it has become one of my favorite plain white/cream tees. Might need a little crop but its got a texture and feel that is quite unique.
I like that you reviewed this, but totally understand if you don’t keep it.
Thanks man! I think it’s a return job!
I like the proportion this jacket gave you. I understand 1/3 to 2/3 are the trending proportions, but I do enjoy some nice old school 1/2 and 1/2.
Surprised to see polyester on such piece. A bit of a shame.
Thanks man. The tight arms are also a bit of a problem. I just think at this price the piece needs to be perfect!
1/2 and 1/2 with relaxed trousers is a popular proportion coming out of a lot of japanese fashion the last few years (Kapital, Beams, Engineered Garments etc)
love the video, where is the knit youre wearing from?
Thanks! It’s from wings of liberty
very cool love your style @@JamesLeung
I think once you get to this price point it becomes less about how well it fits, how nice the materials are etc & more about the simple economics of do you have enough disposable income to allow you spend that much & not stress out every time you wear it somewhere. £500 is a more significant sum to me than say a hedge fund manager that makes that in a day & probably wouldn’t second guess buying if they vaguely like it.
Yep good point! To be honest if the fit was perfect and the quality was incredible I could convince myself to keep it since I’ve sold so many clothes recently. But it just isn’t there for me!
@@JamesLeung For sure. The are definitely some pieces too that could be considered a long term investment that would get a lot of wear or could be sold without much of a loss. Then I think I’d be more amenable to stretching the budget.
Where is your cap from? looks nice mate
It’s a vintage Oakley one!
I have those same jeans from Uniqlo. However, mine look a lot tighter 😂. Did you size up on these?
Mine are just called a ‘regular’ fit which they don’t seem to sell anymore. They only do the slim version which is a shame!
@@JamesLeung I was very confused because you linked the slim fit ones, I thought they had widened that cut, I have these same ones and they are great.
Ouch, was 300€ in Europe for me, maybe should’ve gotten a size bigger but other than that I love it
Also got the brown colored one
I think that price is more reasonable! You could probably resell it for 1000 haha
Hey I just found your Channel, I was wondering if you could do a review on Bear’s jacket from Reservation Dogs. I’ve always thought it’s was really cool looking and an awesome thing to wear but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Can you plz help 🙏.
I’ve never watched that unfortunately but I’ll take a look!
Where’s the chair from tho. Looks comfy
It’s a vintage G Plan chair, I love it!!
🎉🎉
I think it is a bit overpriced based on the brand and the design. I think the checkered design is really nice but I feel like there are similar jackets at lower prices. And that the only thing justifying the price is that its been on The Bear. The polyester is probably due to durability. A lot of thicker wool jackets, even some used in the military during the 1900s had at least 10% polyester to increase the durability from harsh conditions and other stuff. I think its usually best to avoid wool garments where the polyester content is above 30% as it is more likely then cost cutting
Yeah I know what you mean. Ah that’s interesting to hear about the polyester! I always assume it’s to cut costs but I’m clearly just being ignorant. Thanks for watching!
Bro what chair is that???? It's beautiful
It’s a vintage G Plan, lovely piece!
Where is the pink flower from pls x
I got it off Facebook marketplace place! No brand name on it unfortunately but I think it’s from the 80s
Score Predictions for the game later? Chelsea have got this!
3-2 the Reds!! YNWA
Protein my friend 💪
Personally I think $650 for a jacket that is a wool/poly blend and not even 100% wool is a bit ridiculous. It feels like you're paying for branding and not quality.
Yeah I agree with you!
I would honestly pass it, at 650$ its not even 100% wool, and as you said the zipper looks kinda cheap
Yeah crazy. I sent it back!
Can you tell me where can I find your beige sweater?
Do you mean the one I’m wearing when talking? It’s from Wings of Liberty
It’s a lot for what it is I think but thought it looked good on you.
Thank you mate. Wish the arms weren’t so skinny, I could see that becoming really annoying in the future!
what jumper are u wearing?
It’s from Wings of Liberty!
It actually really suits you. NNO7 seems like a cool brand. Nice stuff. But you seem a little uncomfortable in it. So return 🤔
I tried the AMI one on. Wanted it to work so badly. Tried in 2 different sizes. Just looked too wide. Unflattering. Had to return.
Thanks man. Yeah it looks ok to be fair but just not quite what I expected for the price. Ahh that’s a shame to hear! It does look pretty wide to be fair.
Yea,not sure about that one,especially at that price……btw,did not find any Uniqlo:C goodies.
Yeah it’s kind of crazy!
I was only looking at this brand yesterday, not because of the bear, I wasn’t aware of its relationship to the show until now. I was ready to pull the trigger on 2 items until I realised the polyester blend, thats a deal breaker for me, it’s the same reason i don’t buy from dickies. Shame.
They have a lot of lovely stuff! The polyester is a strange decision though especially at this price point!
3:08 literally Carmy lol
Try filson jacket or shirt jacket
Is those basic jackets that are not basic but the cut is weird. I worked in retail, so you are definitely on the much skinny side where a more "average" person will be around 75kg+ mark at your height (I am 76kg who works out just 2 CM short than you). Maybe is a brand for skinny people and extra tall people when a small at your height shouldn't have issues with arm length being too long (should be a bit shorter TBH). If you look at their resale of their other stuff, is pretty cheap so it shows not many people keep their stuff.
Yeah I am very light for my height. I was surprised it was tight on the arms though. Thanks for watching!
@@JamesLeungTY, great content, I can't say I am aligned to your style (mine are more tailored + casual). But your review was very thorough and detail. Well done 🙏🏻
Isn't the actor kinda stocky? Giant arms I thought
Wonder what size he's wearing then ahaha
Haha I know, I don’t understand how he fits his arms in! Unless he bought a large and then they shortened it for him?
@@JamesLeung Ohh yeah that's definitely more likely I'd say, good shout
I like this jacket but as a clothing maker it is alittle underwhelming for the price. This is getting into byspoke teritory for jackets.
I agree!
How are you not bothered by the shape of your hat?
I’d suggest returning it. To me it seems like the length is off
Yeah agreed! Thank you
Ykk zippers at that price point is ridiculous 💀 they’re so annoying to zip
Yeah I was hoping for RiRi to be honest!
@@JamesLeung at that price, that’s the least they could do, small details are the most important😬, personally that’s an instant return💀 but you got a video out of it so hopefully you’ll make it back 🤷🏾
Roumania rahhh
Not.for me that one. You can get some great jackets at that price.
I almost bought a Mannifattura Ceccarelli black bomber jacket for about 35 quid less that, i feel, looked more its price point
Yeah I agree, thanks man. Those bombers look lovely!
@JamesLeung don't take my comment as a diss on your purchase though. It is nice and it wouldn't work if we all had tye same taste. My build I'd very different to you which makes a huge difference. 6'3" 210lbs 36in waste and very broad shoulders
Send it back
Yeah I think I will!
I like clothes but ion like clothes enough to pay hundreds for one item.
Yeah I hear you!
$650 for that is beyond silly imo. It's not even 100% wool at that price.
The "italian fabric" not being talked about in the description makes me instantly think it's not something worth bringing up. Could be italian grown then sent to China then Romania to make it.
Considering I can get some extremely premium stuff for this price, i'd say it's not at all worth it. Like a lot of these "oh a character in X wore it, it must be good" sort of thing.
Agreed 👍
Tight sleeves with only a t-shirt? Not a keeper.
Looks like homeless rag for 650$, does it come with 600$ cash in one of its pockets
🤣
No wonder Carmy's fucking poor. He spends all his money on clothes and tattoos. It's a sweet jacket, though, to be fair.
Haha I know right 🤣🤣
MID
Nice, not spectacular jacket, not worth the cost imo. Looks good on you tho
Thanks! Yeah I don’t think it’s worth it unfortunately
No, the answer is no
Agreed!
That jacket sux.
429 pounds is not $650 lol
It’s $650 on their USA website
Bro be yourself. You keep chasing Camrys style.
Considering the Tee video that he wore in the show got 200k views i can’t blame him for trying another item, exploring cultural references in fashion makes for an interesting niche imo.
@@the_33rd totally understand, midas well make his entire channel about that particular tee shirt.
overpriced crap
Those are really skinny arms. The colour is what makes the jacket, and those colours are just uninteresting. Return!
Yeah way too skinny! I really like the brown but yeah the other two are a little plain.
Quality materials? 26% of polyester you calling quality material? Are you nuts? Sorry, but not for this price tag. It looks nice, but have some respect for your self and for your money.
pass for me
