I've worn Patagonia, North Face, Fjallraven, and Arc'teryx for a long time. I just picked up my first Relwen pullover jacket and I will agree, the level of attention to detail is outstanding especially for a non-technical garment. It has a weight and quality that is a cut above any competitors at that price. Yeah, it's not US made, but neither is anyone else at that price and even Patagonia is levels below in quality by comparison.
Relwen is in a very unique space and there is absolutely no excuse not to get better high end snaps that do not rattle. They make good products, charge a premium, and in this day and age there is just no reason to not fix it. Other than that love their brand.
I have their quilted tanker and their vertical insulator jackets. They are expensive, but they fit well, nice style, and are warm. I'll have to check for the jingle bells on my quilted tanker...as I haven't noticed that.
I have the Tanker jacket and I think they are perfect and the buttons don't bother me. They are one of the nicest jackets I have ever owned and I have owned Underarmor puffy jackets, Northface, Mountain Hardware, and Spyder.
Great video and breakdown. I just got the flyweight blazer myself and I’m so impressed. I had to get the sleeves shortened a tad which makes it absolutely perfect. Nice to see the other products on you for comparison! Thx
I own a Relwen jacket and although the quality of product is undeniable, their products always fit strangely. I am 5'10 and 185lbs and own a medium Relwen jacket. The jacket is tight and a little short but the sleeves are very long. The large was too big. Its one of those brands where you either fit perfectly or you look off.
Thanks for sharing! That's a shame. :( I don't have that problem personally, but I know where you are coming from. Some brands just fit better than others for some people. There is one brand I can never buy from because they always fit strangely.
Never buy jeans or work pants with spandex. I'm not a purest, I'm a clothing reseller. If you do anything more than park and dog walks, they won't last beyond a year or 2. The waist will stretch out, and you'll get runs. I've seen it with numerous brands, including levis, Duluth, 1620, Travis Mathew, Peter Millar, Diesel, Kato, etc.... TH-camrs need to actually use before they review.
I use pants with spandex almost primarily. I prefer them, actually. They're not perfect, and they will stretch out over time, but you can mitigate the process by proper washing and air drying. I generally prefer the look and comfort of these pants more, and in my experience, all jeans will wear out in a certain amount of time, and some of my most expensive, well-made jeans (without spandex) haven't lasted long.
@BeastMadeReviews absolutely all jeans will wear out in time. But it's a lie to say spandex jeans will last as long as 100% cotton jeans, not counting a freak incident. There are millions of pairs of cotton jeans throughout the world surviving multiple years at construction sites. I'm at one now, and no one has on spandex britches. That's my issue. Don't say they're as good as or will last as long as our a better investment piece. More comfortable out of the box, yes. That comfort comes at a price, longevity. P.S. I resell clothes to support my clothing, watch, boot, and knife addiction. I'm a former iron worker, and now I do maintenance in a steel mill. I know a thing or 2 about quality clothes, and I'm not financially benefiting to say it.
@@dark_gravity_edc hey, for a second just take a breath. I'm not disagreeing with you and I'm not lying. I know 100% cotton jeans last longer, but I'm saying that in my experience, they will wear out and look bad too, it's just that it takes a little longer to get there. Given the choice, I would rather wear jeans comfortable and better fitted right away, even if they might last not quite as long. If you like cotton jeans--great. I'm not here to yuck your yum. I like cotton jeans too, I just like the ones with stretch a little better for my use.

This is a frigging great channel, so pleased I found it. Love it man, keep doing what you're doing
thank you so much!

Bought the Windzip jacket after watching this and it is fire! Thanks!
Nice!!
I ended up picking up the Quilted Tanker as well. You are correct, Relwen just is different. Great quality and looks great.
The buttons are the reason I returned this jacket.
If you fasten the buttons for a few wears instead of using the zipper the jingle goes away. At least it did on my quilted tanker.
Nice video. Love ur reviews and production.
I appreciate that!
What size tanker was that? Just ordered a L in Navy (theyre on sale for like 200)
mine is the Small

Do you own any of their Chinos? If so , what size? I’m considering buying their Chinos but their inseam is a little long. I’m 5’9 at 190lbs.
Didn’t hear 1 bell on the first jacket.
😂😂😂
Man, they are expensive
For imported goods with lots of polyester, I completely agree.
They are pricey. But the quality is equal to the asking price, imo
Good video do but you are long-winded.
I disagree.
