    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.

    Does the leg twist happen when using the extra longer length in the pant you usually wear. As if for example, I wear 36x30 and I get a 36x32 or 34 will it twist?

  • @danbarb9728

    So people say raw denim will shrink after washing it, you have to buy lets say one size larger BUT doesnt jeans also wear out again? So buy larger or buy true to size?

    Would you pull the trigger on a mcallister for 297 or wait if there’s additional discount? Brand new not a factory second. (AE is discontinuing brown) has a dainte rubber sole.

    • @CarlMurawski
      @CarlMurawski  5 лет назад

      Tough one, it seems like AE is always discounting their stuff but thats not bad considering they start around $400 now. You'll forget paying a bit more but you'll regret if you miss out on them. The Danite sole is such an awesome option btw.

    • @marcogonzalez4615
      @marcogonzalez4615 5 лет назад

      Carl Murawski I’m still kicking myself for not buying them at 196 with the extra 40%. I can’t believe the dark brown is going to be discontinued. I’m really not a fan of the coffee color. But, anyways, bottom line you would go with the Danite sole over the general leather for the mcallister?

    • @CarlMurawski
      @CarlMurawski  5 лет назад

      If you’re planning on wearing it as an everyday option I say Danite all the way. I wish I had gotten them on my Odenwalds.

    • @marcogonzalez4615
      @marcogonzalez4615 5 лет назад

      Carl Murawski I went ahead and picked up the McAllister’s with the danite sole, I love them. Great dark brown color and it’s clear how good the leather is on these. Thanks for the advice. They gave me an addition 20% so we are talking 248 before taxes.

    If I'm not mistaken, the term selvage comes from "self-edge," so it would make sense it was pronounced that way unless it comes from some language other than English. Either way, people will know what you're saying when you say it that way.

      Weight is the thickness of the yarns which is measured in ounces. The higher the ounces, the thicker the denim
