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 fewer, better things.
You guys make me smile. I just turned 70, and strongly because of you, Carl, I ordered a pair of Nick's boots (made to order Overlanders, should get them anytime now). I hope I live long enough to break them in...LOL. BTW, many cowboy boots have had double pull on loops for many decades, but not hidden inside of course.
That was a new one to me! How cool is that??
Enjoy those Nicks my friend!
I’m 71….wonder if Carl is aware he has some 70 something year old fans. Great content…….
@@allen31951 I'm overjoyed to learn this!
My wardrobe is worth more than my car. Makes sense to me.
Same but my car is a beat up old ute hahah
@@the_CHAR_officialDoesn’t matter, you have the right attitude, my friend.
Two points stuck with me: better is the sweet spot and if you don't wear something enough you don't get to enjoy it and it doesn't become "yours."
Love this podcast Carl! Being a beginner in this space it's great learning from the both of you and hearing your thoughts. I'm actually heading to Japan later this year and plan on purchasing a couple items while there. This video was very helpful, but I definitely have more research to do! Thanks again, keep it up 👍
Oh man, I’m jealous!!! Have fun and thank you for the kind words!
‘You should be able to drive that thing!’ Great turn of phrase really like that
I love this dude and I love getting to see people who have made enough money to afford this kind of clothing. I would love for you two to go to these shops you keep mentioning and let us experience the shops and the people that run them.
Good point Dirk!
That’s a great idea!
Luckily I'm glad I'm a very minimalistic person who buys quality I have one pair of Nick's one pair of good jeans basically one of everything I need so that I don't get too much clutter and replace as they wear out
That’s a good call man. I envy you, I wish I could be more minimal.
@@CarlMurawski lol doing what you do for all of us it would be hard to do reviews most of my buys were inspired from you
Minimalist lifestyle “👍🏻”
Need at least 2 jeans so you have something to wear while one dries. Most of mine take like a day to air dry due to humidity.
@@scottburns5242 im office work so they never get wet
Great video, guys. Your banter is very enjoyable. I gotta say, getting into higher end clothing has been an exercise in frustration for me. I have spent a lot of money on boots I don’t like, I have bought a number of leather jackets and vests that don’t really work for me, and the prospect of spending a few hundred per piece for more stuff I won’t wear has burned me out to a large degree.
I do love my Schott Storm, which I waited 3 months for. the sleeves are a little long but I love it. I am glad for that. I am trying to put together a fresh wardrobe for a 50-something who has mostly worn t-shirts and cargo shorts casually, and high end suits professionally, in a world where no one wears suits and I don’t want to dress like a preppie.
The main thing for me is comfort and functionality. And honestly, a lot of clothes out there are lacking in one or both.

nice
Very interesting convo....You are so right Albert, when you mentioned the difference between receiving a freebie from somewhere/someone versus laying down your own hard earned cash...I reckon your level of appreciation for an article is far greater, not to mention how powerful it is to make an expensive considered purchase for yourself as opposed to being given it. Carl also does a brilliant job as host by allowing his guests to talk, only interjecting where it adds to the convo or sharing his own experiences with a certain item.
As long as you’re buying something in a classic style that won’t go out of fashion and will last a long time, buying quality is probably worth it- if you wear it enough and have already set aside money for your old age, your kids, a house, etc. If I’m only going to use a tool a few times, I’ll get the Home Depot or Harbor Freight brand, not Dewalt.
Definitely agreed. I just had this conversation about Snap On tool boxes versus Harbor Freight. When I’m using it all day, every day, I’ll get the Snap On. For the weekend warrior, a base level Harbor Freight is just fine. Though I’ve heard good things about their US General line.
Such a solid chill Sunday watch, get this man a TV deal already
Hahaha it will definitely be a regular installment!
Love what you guys talked about at the end most of all. I had that problem of seeing new things and having to buy them. Very recently I am trying to give it a day, week, or month then realizing I didn’t need it and I have more money 😂 great video Carl!!!
Thank you man!!! I still struggle with that issue 😆
I love the banter between you both! Bravo gentleman
Love these conversations with the both of you, please, more and more! As for quality, cost and why, hmm, here are my thoughts for what they are worth.
For me over the years the equation comes to this. The more you invest your passion and interest in a particular subject the more important becomes the quality of that subject.
If you have a passion for philosophy then the more you learn about the subject the more you desire to seek out the highest quality information and authors on that subject with which to base and improve your knowledge of the subject. It’s like you learn to cut out the dross to get to the meat and bones of it all and when you do that you not only save time and energy as you simply will not waste those things on the lowest form any more, why on earth would you when you know there are better, more reliable and sustainable answers.
It is the same with “things” if you have a passion and deep seated interest then that can only be fueled and satisfied by seeking out the very best as the very best is the end game and you then even if it costs more actually save money and time and energy by not spending it on things you know simply won’t satisfy your knowledge and depth of commitment you have invested, does that make any sense or am I just rambling?🤓
Hey Carl! I've been looking for some great hats for different seasons. I love your styling and I think a great video would be your best picks for your wardrobe! Love the content and will continue binging your videos.
Carl bridges the gap between hipster and blue-collar workers so we can all enjoy the convo.
I listened to the podcast a while back and I’m glad I got to watch this video for more of the visual stuff, like for the clinch boots and the McCoys jacket :)
Keep these videos coming! I love the banter between you and Albert.
More to come!
I really enjoy this kind of content, hope to see more interviews.
More to come!
Loved the video and the banter. For me the problem is two fold. 1 I want the best that I can get for my price range for the item. The second actually wearing / using the product because I spent more than I normally would. So I don't want to tear it up. Awesome video as always.
My mother told me when I was a kid "Blue and green should never be seen unless there's something inbetween." but I think that applies to bright primary colors. Olive and navy is okay.
I'm glad I didnt just imagine it!
Speaking as someone that runs a group of 62,500+ members of the dapper community, I can definitely tell that you know the average type. It can be awesome if the guys are awesome and aren't over analyzing everything and nitpicking everything, but that's super rare. I mostly wear raw selvedge, flannels, waxed/wool/denim jackets, and boots now 😂
I love your stuff Carl, and especially these talks with down to earth guys!
-Chris
what group is this for dapper community?
So cool to see you guys hanging out 💯😎
Good video need more of you two.
I always enjoy your talks with Albert. The time really flies by.
I have a heaviest duty horsehide jacket from aeroleathers. It's hard leather but tough as old boots and £750 with belt. It's the best jacket and even better than the old double zip Lewis leathers I got 40 years ago. It was stolen.
They're made in Scotland. Good for winter on motorbike.
keep Albert on the show!!!
Great show....."Yes Show"! That's a compliment, 😁! Well done!
He is very true packaging is everything to Consumers these days
Absolutely!
Note that the Clinch boots are also hand welted---so let's add hours more in labor in comparison to those perfectly nice Wescos. Is that kind of labor and design worth more than twice cost? As you've said time and again, it's subjective---what you like and what you can afford.
Great video Carl, keep up the good work brother.
What kind of shirt is Albert wearing? Love that pattern.
Cool chat guys respect you both
Great video with great advice. I’m so on the fence about buying a $168 blanket shirt from Outerknown. Don’t need it at all but the pictures coupled with the marketing really has me wanting one. Good advice about taking a deep breath. Maybe I’ll wait until my birthday 😃
Just my 2 cents, I bought one and did not like the city they use. It’s a thicker cotton thread in a looser weave and feels thick/heavy but isn’t the warmest. I personally prefer a much tighter weave fabric with a smoother surface. Also the light blue fabric on the inside of the collar doesn’t match a lot of their shirt colors and can ruin the look when unbuttoned IMO.
@@mrMYass gotcha, probably go with the cloud weave shirt, and I don’t need it to be too warm I live in arizona 😂😂😂
I want some jk boots now. Really impressed and so well made but £500 up. You get what you pay for
I love to watch old movies,where the old farmers throw on a jacket over there old overalls,and jeans,great look ,I just do it as a fashion statement.
Fantastic conversation.
Just curious, what’s the deal with the camera frame moving back and forth side to side?
Enjoyed the show by the way. Thanks! Love the dynamic.
That’s actually a 4’ slider which I set to about 2 minutes from side to side. I figured it was more interesting than a static shot and it looks hilarious when you play it in fast motion! 😂
@@CarlMurawski I liked it!
@@CarlMurawski Cheers. It was interesting. I thought I was going a bit mad to begin with. Then when I skipped back to re-listen to a bit it became very obvious!
Wow! Informative, educational, fun. Thank you!
I always said “dee-hen” not sure if that’s right either, haha.
Which brand is that leather jacket in the thumbnail..?
I have to say that a slim tapered jeans does NOT look great with a sport coat. Tailoring has a much fuller silhoutte on top and therefore really requires a straight or at most slim-straight pair to balance it on the bottom.
In summary: if it fits you well it is worth the cost
Where’s the b role on the jacket ? Great episode !
I'm CLINCHing my buttcheeks at that price tag
Carl what size are you wearing here in the Dehen 1920 shawl coat?
It’s still that cold in Conn Carl! Flannels and patch elbow sweaters in late May! Lucky bastards!
Hahahaha it was in the mid-50s this morning!
I’ll complement that with an old pair of work boots,or a well worn pair of long wingtips.
Throw this up on Spotify I'd listen!
Already up there brother
Scrubbing through the footage I see the camera is mounted on a rail or something -- wow that's insanely cool
Hahahaa yes, its on a 4 foot long motorized slider. I think I set it to 2 minutes from end to end.
I need that Dehen shawl
i wish high wasted pants especially work pants were more common
Carl … there’s no need to feel “Guilty”, for having a lot of nice pieces. It’s a great place to park some cash, with inflation running wild. Consider it part of your retirement portfolio. Also .. those pieces will be enjoyed by someone long after your gone…
Well said!
Funny how the people that scoff expensive heritage items will be wearing Gucci shoes Versace tie and drive a leased Maserati
Right? I definite now what you mean, they’re all over my town.
I like that dude’s vibes. Does he have a RUclips channel?
Cool jacket. Green shirt sucks though
Podcast please 👍🏻
You can find this and more long conversations/interviews on The Carl Murawski Podcast - Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Podcasts soon!
What brand of engineer boots would you recommend for riding motorcycles? I have pairs of Wesco, White’s, and Lofgrens. While I like the Lofgrens the most for day to day, it seems like the rebuild options with Wesco & White’s would be better for the shifter chewing through the left boot. I currently use a pair of Chippewa engineer boots for riding, but they are running out of life.
Why not a good ol Red Wing 2268?
@@JoeyLevenson unfortunately Red Wing no longer offers engineer boots new. I snagged a pair of 2268s on eBay a while back, but they ended up being too tight. I have been rotating between my Wesco Mister Lou & White's Cykel Engineers and they are working out well. I ended up ordering some more pairs of White's. They will probably be my go to in the future.
There’s free and than there’s gifts.
Does anyone have the link for the video tutorial on the broom stick trick for shaping the heel counter of a boot?
Hey off topic but have you ever bought the democratic jeans from Taylor Stitch? If so, how do they fit?
I have. They fall between a slim and straight cut.
Can't help but feel like this dude was almost talking down on schott jackets hahs
problem is, once you owned a lot of mediocre clothes, now you own a lot of superb and expensive items. The quantity doesnt go down, stuff just keep piling up. :D
Good point! I've definitely noticed this as well, and started to give things away to family and friends.
Great video
Hey man. I noticed White’s recently raised their prices. Looks like I’ll have to go elsewhere for my next over-the-top cringeworthy boot purchase. 😁
Ugh, they did again? I know everything is more expensive now, but theyre going to price themselves out of reach.
@@CarlMurawski yeah Smokejumper is now $625! Kinda crazy when comparable boots from several other companies can be had for well under $600.
Me: Spends big $$ on an item of clothing. Giant stain on it two hours later
I have 12 nudie jeans that I can wear with Truman and Nicks boots. I want to get 10 more slimmer jeans to wear with casual boots. I want that Real McCoy jacket saving for it.
Damn my skinny fingers!!! I can never find cool rings small enough.
not the chris mess lies ×_×
Need a good recommendation on twill work pants I have dickies but too average.
Iron Heart. They do more fabrics than just denim. Whipcord, twill, etc.
Left Field NYC,but they sell out quickly when they are in stock.
Love this channel and video! But to be honest, the ad seemed to me like a bit of a sell out. To me the watches scream cheap and ugly (and are arguably the polar opposite of the intent/content of this video). Still a fan and will continue to watch, just wanted to voice that.
I appreciate the input. Unfortunately sponsorships are the only way I can afford to do some of the bigger comparisons and reviews. RUclips pays about $3 per 1,000 views. The way I look at it, if I can take a sponsorship and it lets me buy $800 worth of items to compare (like the upcoming cooler comparison) it’s a net benefit to the viewer.
@@CarlMurawski That was a cool calculated brilliant remark.
diminishing retruns.
Adderall.....
Frustrating how Albert mumbled his way through this. Could you ask him to speak up a bit next time?
Ciano Farmer🤣😎
Zzzz...
What a crappy watch, you talk about quality goods and your hocking a cheaply made watch ...
Sponsorships and advertising are how entertainment stays financially solvent. In order to purchase $500 worth of white tee shirts to compare, or $1,000 worth of coolers to review requires capital. I’m thankful that brands like Original Grain are willing to sponsor my videos.
I really dislike those tall boots. Looks like I’m gonna ride a bike or a wild horse. I’d rather wear parkhurst, Thursday boots or something slim like grant stones.
My most beautiful leather jacket is the one I bought I russia with a good friend of mine. Damn what a leather jacket.
Btw, I’ll sell it for 5k… jk!
Never on sale :)
