My grandparents worked at the OG Russell factory in Alexander City for years until they got bought out by Fruit of the Loom in 2006. There was a little Russell retail store by the factory that was shaped like a piece of pie and raised up by columns.
Your sponsored videos are so fire, I remember the one where you did like the vhs filter commercial thing with the shoes. I appreciate you for not just making it a boring ad
IVE LOVED RUSSELL HOODIES!!, I still remembered when I stumbled upon one at the Goodwill bins and thought to myself “Damn this looks like a comfortable ass hoodie” went home to try it on and I never looked back. Have almost every color
My favourite essential crew necks are all Russell! With the exception of one Lee. Wasn’t aware that Russell actually invented the Crew neck though! Love this series, definitely keep it up Paul.
Thank you! I inherited a russell with a gold tag, wasnt 100% if it was actually from the 70s and this vid helped confirm it. Enjoyed the rest of it too, Thank you
Kith is douchey rich people brand for people w/ no style. I see a lot of out-of-towners with that stuff. It is trash. People that buy that stuff are just paying for the name. Kith stuff looks like some random Urban Outfitters stuff. People in the real world don't care about Kith or wear it. I see 10,000-15,000 people a day at my job. No one wears that stuff basically.
These are fun at size 4XL. They get so baggy in all the right places. Sleeves are thicker than the beams at Grand Central Station, and it will really go down to the knees!!
My hometown in Wisconsin is home to Russel Athletic….local ladies sew the jerseys for some of the biggest athletic events in the world…unfortunately no factory store.
I dig this kinda content. Crossover stuff. This will get you a lot more different kinds of subs looking for historical type stuff. Professor Cantu’s class is in session.
I've always said that Russell was better then Champion but the vintage kids at the bins would tell me no one would ever want to see people in Russell 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ thanks for dropping this gonna tell them to watch this!
Hello from Columbus Ohio. I just purchased the guess jeans shorts. Thank you for the information and good finds. Love your collection. Keep up the great work 👍.
Paul with the World Cup coming to a conclusion can u post a vid showing ur soccer swag. Would also like to hear ur thoughts on that amazing final if you watched
My boyfriend owns a printing shop so I have worn or felt and not worn every brand…. Russell has become my favorite ever since I found a random hoodie in his shop and had the best softness. my question is what crewneck do they have now, that would be a true vintage feel, no stiff sides, that would make good blanks for a project I have in mind. I would like to keep each piece same brand and have vintage feel… tee, crew, sweatshirts, joggers and I was wanting to go with Russell Brand
Every time I watch these videos I get jealous cuz dude lives in a big city like Houston. Sourcing in smaller towns like mine things get pretty cutthroat.
I love me some vintage Russell Athletic I feel like the crewnecks are a lot more easier to find as I have a variety of colors that I've thrifted but for some reason the hoodies and sweatpants are a lot more harder to find in my area I was able to find one hoodie and one sweatpant so far but i'm going to keep looking.
I fell Russell authentic the website I’m thinking of buying a hoodie and a crewneck just to see what it’s like I know I see vintage ones but I’m a little spectacle about them on Grailed what do y’all think
Russel are good, but Tultex and Jerzees smash them easily! Can't compete with proper vintage Tultex, the cuts are just perfect, Russell sweats get the neckline wrong sometimes too wide.
Had to re-watch this episode, and had a question in mind. What's the difference between Made in USA and Made in Mexico? Please notice, Mr. Paul! Happy Holidays!
I don’t think saying live the dream eat that ice cream at the end of your videos is very responsible. Lots of kids look up to you and overconsumption of ice cream can lead to obesity and diabetes
Paid advertisement by Russell. They have always been a cheap but decent manufacturer of sweatshirts/hoodies/sweatpants. They are exactly the same quality as Champion, Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. They are definitely not a cool brand or worth a lot of money. I've been thrifting almost 30 years, not gonna buy into the "label" hype BS. You are a sucker if you are paying a lot for labels, just making resellers rich. They are buying this stuff for $1-$5 maybe. Just go to your local thrift store and find something on your own.

Triple OG’s
Nice
🤘😎
Passed by there many times on the way to auburn! Always thought that was the coolest looking building
Now I want pie.
You should do some more of this videos, this attract new users to the channel and it's high quality content, always liked the way you explain history
This guy just resells T-shirts. T-shirts are throwaway items. Jackets, sweaters are better items and made to last a lot longer.

Thank you! I inherited a russell with a gold tag, wasnt 100% if it was actually from the 70s and this vid helped confirm it. Enjoyed the rest of it too, Thank you
They literally my favourite sweater, fit perfectly
Russell and Kith collab from time to time and they always make the heat!

It’s dropping on Insta tomorrow
The Ollie sweater goes hard. You know that grandma baked the best cookies
Keep up with these man! They’re dope educational videos and very useful!
Love to see these old names like Champion and Russell being making a comeback in the modern world!
I was today years old when I realized that’s an Eagle lookin lethal on the tag. 🤯
i got an older model in the thrift for $5 recently in a dark green and its so lightweight and durable. it goes hard in the gym on leg day
Gracias Paul for such a great video;when everything was made proudly in this beautiful country peace

Found one recently. Top grey. Bottom cranberry red. Cuff’s cranberry. Wondering if it’s rare?

Sweat shorts I meant
As someone looking to get into reselling vintage, this video was real helpful! Sick collection too! Much love from southwest TX, brother 🤘

Are those your day pearl earrings??? Happy Holidays🎉🎁🎄🥰✌️
Russell or champion sweatshirt is better?
Putting me on game yet again, bless up
I fell Russell authentic the website I’m thinking of buying a hoodie and a crewneck just to see what it’s like I know I see vintage ones but I’m a little spectacle about them on Grailed what do y’all think
just got my navy blue crewneck in the mail from the whatnot live, you blessed up big time with the 15$ credit too! got mine for only 18$ bucks.
Hell yeah, glad you got the hook up homie!!
I was today years old when I saw the eagle in the Russel Athletic logo
I always wondered why so many people would resell the,, nice to hear the history about it
worn by kanye, jerry lorenzo thats mainly why it got mainstream hype
Very late to this, how tall are you Paul?? I'm trying to see what size I'd fit
Sweet Russell Hustle !!!!!
do you have a store where you can buy your items?
What about the Pluma By Russell Athletic? Was that just the name of the style of crewneck?
Russel are good, but Tultex and Jerzees smash them easily! Can't compete with proper vintage Tultex, the cuts are just perfect, Russell sweats get the neckline wrong sometimes too wide.
So love this company!
Paul done did it again boi
Please do Polo Ralph Lauren next!
I would love to see a video about the history of American thunder shirts.
Loving this idea

Happy Holidays!

Russell Athletic is perfect for big and tall men
Paul you can tell us if they paid you extra to say the V is for sweat absorption you’ve gotta get the bag

I like juicy humans and want them to be nice and plump.
