@@preacherjayk I get wrangler jeans. They last me 3-6 months while only having 2-3 pair a year or more if I have 4 or more pairs. No need to spend that much on pants.

I carried a red bandana as a handkerchief for 30 years as a soldier and an additional 20 years as an elementary school teacher. Always a red bandana - I didn’t realize that it had become a hallmark. Most useful as you explained the many uses. I chose red because I was a medic and it didn’t show blood too bad. i wonder at how many young men I escorted to the nurses office over the years with bloody noses with my bandana to sop up the bleed - easy to wash out at the nurses station and throw in the laundry that night. I always carry a clean white linen handkerchief with my suit for formal events or mass.
My grandfather was a marine, 25 ,year veteran, i remember the day he gave me my first gun ,i was 6 ,it was a bb gun , we lived in Arizona in the middle of nowhere, i run out shoot the first blue bird, or black bird can't remember the color, but he came out an said ,look boy ,if your going to shoot an animal it better be for food ,he made me eat that bird, I'll tell you what it's moments like that ,that make people i learned respect for life . You talking about life lesson made me think of that .
I used to shoot Birds when I was a kid with my old single pump BB gun. Then the Lord put it on my heart one day what was going on! It wasn't very personal because the birds always flew off. One day I zeroed in on a bird & pulled the trigger but when I hit it instead of flying off it flew straight to the ground. I ran over to look at it. I had shot its bottom beak off and it was staring at me frantically huffing and puffing. I felt horrible and realized what I had to do! Somehow it never occurred to me that I was taking on a life of an animal by shooting it. Now I had to put this bird out of its misery so that it would quit suffering. I did that and then dug a grave for it and buried it & never shot another animal again after that. I was around seven years old. If it comes down to starving to death then, I would have to do it. I've never had to do that. I'm 50 years old now & I have always bought my food at the grocery store.. I have killed several chickens when I was a kid for food. We raised chickens for laying eggs and for eating. But to take an animal's life just for the sport of it, not for me!
Ronnie Pirtle Jr I suppose you probably wouldn’t understand that some other animal that might not be able to hunt so well probably benefits from the carcass of pests that are taken out by some people.

My son used to carry his about, and had left it in his pocket by accident one day. Got pulled to the principal's office and I got a call (pre homeschool days). Luckily we live in a rural area and the principal was almost apologetic about having to call, she knew enough to know it was an accident and not malicious.
So sad. Since around the third grade or so, I can't remember a day at school, or college, or work, not having a pocket knife. Why no trouble? Because I never misused it. It was a tool, like my pencil or my calculator. I'm just young enough to have used a calculator near the end of high school, BTW.
It was once a tradition for the Grandfather to gave boys their first pocket knife. When I was 5 my Grandfather gave me a small pen knife. Was so proud to have it.
A little FYI, skinny jeans started following the coffee house culture, which originated in Seattle. Therefore the birth of skinny jeans happened on the West Coast. But don't worry, young men wear them everywhere, even in the south. The neo-hippy (hipster) movement is more prevalent on the west coast. California is full of them. It's getting harder to find boot-cut jeans these days.
Only things I carry in My Pockets are Two Handkerchiefs. When I was a child I suffered a lot of Nose Bleeds, hence Mother insisting I carry a 2nd Handkerchief. Today, that 2nd Handkerchief is always available for use by an emotionally distressed Lady.
Excellent video! My Grandfather always carried a hanky, a pocket knife or two and a pair of pliers. He wore overalls and the pockets were roomy. I still carry the same gear but sometimes I jam the pliers into the same pocket as my iPhone. Scratched a few screens. He always had one knife that had the blades sharpened down like ice picks. On the farm we were forever getting splinters and he used that knife and precision digging to remove the splinters. He then used the hanky to dry my tears.
I live in a rather “populated” part of California. Reds, blues, and oranges are a big problem down here. So I stick to navy and black. Can’t get too expressive with the handkerchiefs...
I was thinking about this when Cody slipped the handkerchief into the pocket on the jeans and made the 'represent' comment. Some places, you can't just choose any old colour!
even over here in South Scotland wearing the wrong colour (blue, green, or white) can get you attacked because they are the colours of two rival Scottish football teams (yes really) and even the fans of each team hate each other, and even have gangs called "Firms"
@@birkabein birthday caird pish. If old firm attacks were that common nobody would be able to wear blue or green. South Scotland isn't South Central LA in 1990 😂
You’re not overdoing anything sir. There’s so much junk out here to watch, it’s refreshing to watch someone who is actually providing good content. Thank you
Been carrying them for a long while. A couple things to add: trying to reiterate, must be cotton. The nylon ones are worse than anything. No way to sop up blood, oil, etc, with anything but cotton. You also want about 10 of them-- when your wife comes to meet you in the garage and you use it to clean the oil off your hands, you're going to want a new one for the next day. Thanks!
I really don't mean to be picky and I know it's a lot of work but could you organize your playlist section? You have SO much content that it would be nice to say"oh,I really want to watch an ax video I seen a few months ago" but you need to search through so much other stuff. The reason I say this is because,this series,is something many people will refer back to over the years and it would nice to be able to go to a playlist named"things grandpa and dad taught me" or "simple things for daily life" or something like that. I really appreciate what you do.
The old timers were smart. I think them going through the Depression they appreciated the little the could get and saved everything. My grandfather used to save all the screws, motor, tub, etc. out of old washing machines. Made a chick brooder out of an old wooden television set, used a clawfoot bath tub to water the cows, etc. I mean he saved everything.
Wish I could say the same in a way. (In that my legacy is lacking) my Grandfather in my father's side was a drunk, mean, cigarette hacking, degenerate man.... but my father... I hope to live up to my father one day. Now, he is quite the man. Despite growing up with aforementioned Grandfather, he is the most Godly, kind, generous, well mannered and wise man I've ever known. Its amazing what God can do with a life.
I feel like I relate to you on a very spiritual level these days. If it weren’t for you I don’t know what I’d do during these times. Edit: You are like a dad I never had. God bless.
My grandpa was right handed and carryed his wallet in his left back pocket, his wrist watch was on his left hand and his pocket knife was in his left pocket. He got a fresh paper towel every morning for his right back pocket. He said I carried everything wrong lol. Damn that man was a hard working fool from 4am to 8pm for 80 years. Hands like saddle leather and rebar.
Hard working men are no fools. Not then, not now. Your grandpa was a part of the backbone of this nation. It's on you now Rob. It's on all of us that remain.
@dysc I got them by mistake because I would've never paid that much for what I thought were just big wet wipes lol. Now I buy them on purpose because they're quality USA made.
For all sewing, use Stormy Kromer! I’ve visited the factory and the owner is awesome. They have a design team, make good wool clothes and employ Americans in a small Michigan Upper Peninsula Town.
He showed some footage of him in one video. Look up the video title “A scary hunting story” and the footage is at the end. But I would recommend watching the whole thing nonetheless.
Today is my birthday. I turned the big 40. I know it's sad but I come on here and tell everyone today's my birthday because I don't have any friends or family to tell me happy birthday...I know it's sad. It just makes me feel better to hear it from someone.
My grandpa gave me my first knife, a Barlow, when I was 6. Nowadays, people would go NUTS is you gave a 6 year old a knife. It’s a tool and we had chores to do. Cut a cord on a bale of hay, etc. Cody, you lump “East Coast Guy” together. You need to realize that here in The South, where we work the farm, hunt the mountains, and fish the river and have for almost 400 years. We really don’t care to be lumped in with the city boys.
Man weird, I always have a handkerchief and my woman makes fun of me for carrying it around and calls me an old man(I’m 34)On my way into work this evening I used it to just blow my nose and I had the thought “I bet wranglerstar carries a handkerchief.” ...I go to check TH-cam out and I see wranglerstar doing a video on handkerchiefs... firggin awesome! I carry a green one always because I come from a very Irish family. Ha also I am the same way about having clean dry hands because I work with my hands for a living.
My grandfather had a handkerchief in his pocket every day of his life. Never had a knife tho, he was the most peaceful person I've ever known. I was devastated when he passed but I'm so grateful he didn't have to see the state of America today.
Odd, my father and grandfathers carried pocket knives, and we all are and were peaceful men. They are useful tools for daily life. My most carried, like my father, is a Swiss army knife. Most frequently used tool? Nail file.
I didn't take it that way. Your wording makes it sound as though his peaceful nature was offended by the knife as he viewed it as carrying a weapon, like today's school systems. I only had daughters, who both have one of their grandfather's pocket knives, but they don't carry one. It was a bit easier knowing they were forbidden to have one with them at school than it may have been if I had a son.
Hey, Cody. You inspired me to start carrying a handkerchief a couple years ago, even though I carry a roll of paper towels and a tub of wet wipes in my personal pick up and work truck. I recently ordered and received a new six pack of 100% cotton handkerchiefs. They are Levi's brand and called bandanas on the packaging, unfortunately made in China. Cheers.
I use mine as a headband all the time, but more in an actual band shape. "I don't know why you'd want that?" Sure... I can answer that. My hair can get sweaty while working and sticks to my forehead. Reason 2... to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
My father’s dad always hand a handkerchief and his bone handled pocket knife. He passed when I was younger but I always remember him filing his nails and keeping things clean with his handkerchief.
I was told growing up Color handkerchief is gang affiliation where I grew up so I never carried one it was either the gang members hassling you over color or if a cop stopped you they would try to affiliate you with a gang depending on what color handkerchief you carried
No1sPerf3ct makes sense. Around me as long as your dressed like a country guy you won’t get hassled. But If you’re wearing basketball shorts, white wife beater and a handkerchief then that’s another story
My dad always told me that a gentleman always carried a handkerchief, a pocket knife, a comb, a wrist watch/pocket watch, a wallet and money clip. Cash should be in the clip in your front pocket, your ID and CCs in the wallet. To this day I still carry those item and my sidearm. In this climate and current state of our country, I choose to be the one who will be the Warrior Poet. Protect the innocent, eliminate the evil. Yes, old fashioned and so far removed from the current “every man for himself” mentality most people have today.
I started carrying one of my dad's Case Trappers when I was about 10. My grandad always had a pack of Wrigley's Spearmint gum that he would share with my brother and I. I still have the Trapper but I don't carry it anymore. On the other hand, I don't go anywhere without a pack, or two, of Wrigley's Spearmint.
I have appreciated Wrigley's Spearmint Gum for the best part of sixty years. The stick gum is much better than the sugar coated stuff and you have the wrapper to dispose of the used gum.
I keep a blue flag hanging out my backside But only on the left side, yeah that’s the Crip side. Is your Gramdpa Snoop Dogg? But seriously he sounds like he was a great guy.
Yes! Such a simple handy thing that often gets overlooked. I used my black paisley one today as a head sweat band (not the style you showed lol, but karate kid style head band) for doing work out in the sun to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
My dad always kept padlock through his bandana, he would use the lock to lock is motorcycle off when he walks away from it and the bandana was to keep him from forgetting the lock was on it. He kept in his back pocket even when he wasnt riding for The obvious reason of a handkerchief and Lock to keep it from falling out of your pocket and if need be it could double as a self-defense weapon with the lock. Ive started to do the same and it works well and isn't as much of a pain to carry as you would think
My Pa used handkerchiefs all day, everyday. One in the chest pocket, one in the back pocket... when he died my granny took a sharpie and wrote, “this belonged to Pa” and the day he was born/died and gave one to everyone at the funeral that wanted one. Old country people, simple folk...
I am 14 and my grandpa has a horse farm and he teaches me the same values No.1. Always have a good knife No.2 always have a bandanna ( from the south it’s not a hankie)
Look up "DELI FRESH DESIGNS" IN DENVER CO, he hand makes his products on vintage sewing machines. Primarily makes fly fishing gear, but I have seen he makes other items too.
I use mine under my cap so that it drapes over the back of my neck and ears to keep mosquitoes off and the sun. I was taught to always carry on in the event a lady would need one in a time of grief. I never leave home without my bandana. I often on hikes or trips carry two. Dozens of uses from first aid to survival. Yes I want a Wranglerstar Bandana!
I took up carrying a handkerchief while I lived in Japan as did the Japanese. Paper towels/hand driers were scarce, even in Tokyo. This was around 2009. I since kept up the habit and they come in "handy" all the time. Cheers!
To be honest, there are plenty of thing to disagree with wranglerstar about. Politics, church, weapons law, but there is also something to agree about, maintenance of your old tools, don't throw thing away just because it isn't new anymore......and this, I would like to see quality items from the states again. Especially gloves, shoes, boots, denim, hats and why not .... A handkerchief...in Europe we don't see American quality products anymore...we hardly see European quality either. Everything is made other places in the world, where price is the only thing that's matter... let's bring quality back.
My grandfather also carried a handkerchief and I started carrying my own since I’ve been 15. @wranglerstar you should buy/ try an American Hemp handkerchief. I bought some during the pandemic and I’d say it’s better than most factory fabricated ones I own.
When I was 11 I found a blue carhart bandana in the trash my dad threw away after work, all it had was some grease on it. I washed it and have had it now for 8 years always.
"You can even use it as a headband, i dont know why you would want to do that.." Lol the whole reason im watching this video is to find new ways of folding bandanas for headwear!!! Ive always done it one way my entire life (a straight thin head band) and want to find new folding techniques. Bandanas are great headwear if you have long hair and want to keep it out of the wind/your face. Its the thinnest and most cool headwear there is for hot days. I have worn hairbows when i worked in construction because its mandated, but i personally dont like them and they make your hair shaped strange when you remove the hair bow but have yet to shower. I honestly dont know why anyone would want to use a bandana for cleaning your hands, face, or children... i carry a thicker, and tougher rag in my back pocket.

I live in the GREAT State of GEORGIA, south GEORGIA to be more specific, not a lot of skinny jeans around here. Kinda hard to get into a crane or bulldozer or excavator in skinny jeans.
I like my Levi's (511 usually). Have worn only them since probably college time, 15 years ago. They're skinny jeans but I'm skinny and I think they look good. They're not skin tight but I hate loose fitting clothes nowadays so for me I think they work.
clamum there is a difference between well fitting jeans and fashion jeans. Companies make different cuts since people come in different sizes. I couldn’t get my leg into a pair of skinny jeans if my life depended on it.
I'll tell you what, if you and Jack start making your own American made products I'd buy them in a heart beat. It's hard to find good American products these days and I think with your following they'd sell great.
Regarding your aversion to synthetic fibers, I've always felt the same way. I always wore 100% cotton growing up except in the winter. I remember when I was in the Army, and we changed from BDUs to ACUs and the brown cotton shorts went away, we were issued polyester shirts. I was constantly itchy, but couldn't ever find that shirt in a natural material. Now that I'm out, if I have to wear a synthetic shirt, I have to wear a cotton shirt underneath.
It’s cool to be seating out on the patio this morning and watching another wonderful video of a great story and memorable moment of Cody’s Granddad ... 👍👍. I love everyone of them.
Blowing the nose an rubbing that into glasses eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwUh. Re using kleenex alone sounds nasty asF wrangler star is super hardcore old school lol. My grandfather did the same thing . I'd use it for everything except the nose blowing 8)
My number one use for the "hanky" _is_ the headband. It's good enough for Les Stroud so I gave it a go. I tried the baseball cap thing, but the sweat builds up then cascades down and makes life miserable for a glasses wearer. The "headband" (or whatever) wicks the sweat up and works so much better in the hot & humid mid-Atlantic region. Plus when I'm hiking or mowing I don't get konked in the noggin' by a tree limb like I do when wearing the cap.
Man Cody, you read my mind. I decided to be a desperado at work by using a handkerchief as a mask versus those stupid flimsy impractical face masks. I was going to google how to correctly fold one. 🤠👍
I carry a 3 blade Old Timer. One older carbon steel the other stainless. Don't carry a hanky anymore. When I was working I did, but retired Sherlock has paper towels in the shop and a first aid kit in the truck. Always wear carpenter pants with my phone in the folding rule pocket, my knife in the left front pocket, a ball point pen and pencil in my right front pocket, keys,and change in my right front, and my wallet, if I carry it, in the right rear. If I 'm going into a place where I would worry about a pickpocket I turn around and leave.
Honestly I never carry a handkerchief I probably should because it saves money. But I always get me about three or four paper towels and fold them up in my pocket.
I like the idea of you starting to make things made in America. I believe that's where this country needs to go we need to get back to making our own things.
I never knew a grandfather or even a father, but I had the best uncles and they taught me exactly the same thing. Good stuff!

I like the Hav A Hank, but I also like Elephant brand when I find the made in the USA ones. Durable and soft.
A little FYI, skinny jeans started following the coffee house culture, which originated in Seattle. Therefore the birth of skinny jeans happened on the West Coast. But don't worry, young men wear them everywhere, even in the south. The neo-hippy (hipster) movement is more prevalent on the west coast. California is full of them. It's getting harder to find boot-cut jeans these days.
Maybe u cand try a straight cut or a slim fit.
I can pull off a straight cut, not a slim though, too restricting.
Only things I carry in My Pockets are Two Handkerchiefs.
When I was a child I suffered a lot of Nose Bleeds, hence Mother insisting I carry a 2nd Handkerchief.
Today, that 2nd Handkerchief is always available for use by an emotionally distressed Lady.
Excellent video! My Grandfather always carried a hanky, a pocket knife or two and a pair of pliers. He wore overalls and the pockets were roomy. I still carry the same gear but sometimes I jam the pliers into the same pocket as my iPhone. Scratched a few screens. He always had one knife that had the blades sharpened down like ice picks. On the farm we were forever getting splinters and he used that knife and precision digging to remove the splinters. He then used the hanky to dry my tears.
I live in a rather “populated” part of California. Reds, blues, and oranges are a big problem down here. So I stick to navy and black. Can’t get too expressive with the handkerchiefs...
I was thinking about this when Cody slipped the handkerchief into the pocket on the jeans and made the 'represent' comment. Some places, you can't just choose any old colour!
even over here in South Scotland wearing the wrong colour (blue, green, or white) can get you attacked because they are the colours of two rival Scottish football teams (yes really) and even the fans of each team hate each other, and even have gangs called "Firms"

@@birkabein birthday caird pish. If old firm attacks were that common nobody would be able to wear blue or green. South Scotland isn't South Central LA in 1990 😂
I feel like skinny jeans are a west coast thing. Whether your east coast or that other coast, skinny jeans are not for men.
I mean...... who wouldn’t want to look like an ice cream cone tho?
I guess I’m not a man after all😢
That definitely came from West coast California
I have really big claves and I lost enough weight to wear my jeans are tight no matter what. So, that doesn't count right? Lol
Steven Alcaraz Thanks mate, I couldn’t agree more...
You’re not overdoing anything sir. There’s so much junk out here to watch, it’s refreshing to watch someone who is actually providing good content. Thank you
Been carrying them for a long while. A couple things to add: trying to reiterate, must be cotton. The nylon ones are worse than anything. No way to sop up blood, oil, etc, with anything but cotton. You also want about 10 of them-- when your wife comes to meet you in the garage and you use it to clean the oil off your hands, you're going to want a new one for the next day. Thanks!
I have horrible allergies, so I usually carry two on me so I have somewhere sanitary to blow my nose at all times.
great info 🇺🇸

I really don't mean to be picky and I know it's a lot of work but could you organize your playlist section? You have SO much content that it would be nice to say"oh,I really want to watch an ax video I seen a few months ago" but you need to search through so much other stuff. The reason I say this is because,this series,is something many people will refer back to over the years and it would nice to be able to go to a playlist named"things grandpa and dad taught me" or "simple things for daily life" or something like that. I really appreciate what you do.
The old timers were smart. I think them going through the Depression they appreciated the little the could get and saved everything. My grandfather used to save all the screws, motor, tub, etc. out of old washing machines. Made a chick brooder out of an old wooden television set, used a clawfoot bath tub to water the cows, etc. I mean he saved everything.
Yes sir I try every day to try and live up to my grandfather, I fall short most days.
keep trying one day you will wake up and realize you are more like him than you thought!
Me too brother
Dont we all...💜
Wish I could say the same in a way. (In that my legacy is lacking) my Grandfather in my father's side was a drunk, mean, cigarette hacking, degenerate man.... but my father... I hope to live up to my father one day. Now, he is quite the man. Despite growing up with aforementioned Grandfather, he is the most Godly, kind, generous, well mannered and wise man I've ever known. Its amazing what God can do with a life.
most, but not all
But when you're in LA, choose your color wisely.
Is white okay ?
I feel like I relate to you on a very spiritual level these days. If it weren’t for you I don’t know what I’d do during these times.
Edit: You are like a dad I never had. God bless.
My grandpa was right handed and carryed his wallet in his left back pocket, his wrist watch was on his left hand and his pocket knife was in his left pocket. He got a fresh paper towel every morning for his right back pocket.
He said I carried everything wrong lol.
Damn that man was a hard working fool from 4am to 8pm for 80 years. Hands like saddle leather and rebar.
Hard working men are no fools. Not then, not now. Your grandpa was a part of the backbone of this nation. It's on you now Rob. It's on all of us that remain.
@@trwsandford AGREED!!!!
@dysc I bought the Tub O' Towels from Walmart. They're a little expensive but if you buy them you'll fall in love, I keep them in my garage.
@dysc I got them by mistake because I would've never paid that much for what I thought were just big wet wipes lol. Now I buy them on purpose because they're quality USA made.
For all sewing, use Stormy Kromer! I’ve visited the factory and the owner is awesome. They have a design team, make good wool clothes and employ Americans in a small Michigan Upper Peninsula Town.
My father carried a pocket knife and a hanky his entire life. I in turn have carried them myself.
Same here.
Also... Sorry. My favorite brand is Have-a-hank (made in the us). They last forever!
We need a photo of Grandad!
He showed some footage of him in one video. Look up the video title “A scary hunting story” and the footage is at the end. But I would recommend watching the whole thing nonetheless.

Today is my birthday. I turned the big 40. I know it's sad but I come on here and tell everyone today's my birthday because I don't have any friends or family to tell me happy birthday...I know it's sad. It just makes me feel better to hear it from someone.
Happy birthday! 🎂
Well happy birthday and it’s all down hill from here out I been 40 for 9 months and I feel 80 lol
Happy 40th in 2020!
Welcome to the club. Happy b day.
I’m in the same boat and surprisingly I’m right behind you in October I’ll be 40 too, so happy birthday friend 🎂
So grandad was a blood.
lol 👌
Now that made me laugh out loud at work.
“If you just wad it up like some Philistine” ...lol, love it, Cody!! 🙂
My grandpa gave me my first knife, a Barlow, when I was 6. Nowadays, people would go NUTS is you gave a 6 year old a knife. It’s a tool and we had chores to do. Cut a cord on a bale of hay, etc. Cody, you lump “East Coast Guy” together. You need to realize that here in The South, where we work the farm, hunt the mountains, and fish the river and have for almost 400 years. We really don’t care to be lumped in with the city boys.
Man weird, I always have a handkerchief and my woman makes fun of me for carrying it around and calls me an old man(I’m 34)On my way into work this evening I used it to just blow my nose and I had the thought “I bet wranglerstar carries a handkerchief.” ...I go to check TH-cam out and I see wranglerstar doing a video on handkerchiefs... firggin awesome! I carry a green one always because I come from a very Irish family. Ha also I am the same way about having clean dry hands because I work with my hands for a living.
StarMart should have.

My grandfather had a handkerchief in his pocket every day of his life. Never had a knife tho, he was the most peaceful person I've ever known. I was devastated when he passed but I'm so grateful he didn't have to see the state of America today.
Odd, my father and grandfathers carried pocket knives, and we all are and were peaceful men. They are useful tools for daily life. My most carried, like my father, is a Swiss army knife. Most frequently used tool? Nail file.
@@hondolane3125 I'm not saying only violent people carry pocket knives, I never leave the house without one.
I didn't take it that way. Your wording makes it sound as though his peaceful nature was offended by the knife as he viewed it as carrying a weapon, like today's school systems. I only had daughters, who both have one of their grandfather's pocket knives, but they don't carry one. It was a bit easier knowing they were forbidden to have one with them at school than it may have been if I had a son.
How to fold a bandanna starts @7:12 for those that came for that.
Hey, Cody. You inspired me to start carrying a handkerchief a couple years ago, even though I carry a roll of paper towels and a tub of wet wipes in my personal pick up and work truck. I recently ordered and received a new six pack of 100% cotton handkerchiefs. They are Levi's brand and called bandanas on the packaging, unfortunately made in China. Cheers.
I use mine as a headband all the time, but more in an actual band shape. "I don't know why you'd want that?" Sure... I can answer that. My hair can get sweaty while working and sticks to my forehead. Reason 2... to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
My father’s dad always hand a handkerchief and his bone handled pocket knife. He passed when I was younger but I always remember him filing his nails and keeping things clean with his handkerchief.
I was told growing up Color handkerchief is gang affiliation where I grew up so I never carried one it was either the gang members hassling you over color or if a cop stopped you they would try to affiliate you with a gang depending on what color handkerchief you carried
I guess you ought to move then...
@@bodiewest9202 my parents moved us out in 2001 to a small town in east texas but it something that stuck to me
No1sPerf3ct makes sense. Around me as long as your dressed like a country guy you won’t get hassled. But If you’re wearing basketball shorts, white wife beater and a handkerchief then that’s another story
Sugar cane jeans!! Can’t be serious
My dad always told me that a gentleman always carried a handkerchief, a pocket knife, a comb, a wrist watch/pocket watch, a wallet and money clip. Cash should be in the clip in your front pocket, your ID and CCs in the wallet. To this day I still carry those item and my sidearm. In this climate and current state of our country, I choose to be the one who will be the Warrior Poet. Protect the innocent, eliminate the evil. Yes, old fashioned and so far removed from the current “every man for himself” mentality most people have today.
I started carrying one of my dad's Case Trappers when I was about 10. My grandad always had a pack of Wrigley's Spearmint gum that he would share with my brother and I.
I still have the Trapper but I don't carry it anymore. On the other hand, I don't go anywhere without a pack, or two, of Wrigley's Spearmint.
I have appreciated Wrigley's Spearmint Gum for the best part of sixty years. The stick gum is much better than the sugar coated stuff and you have the wrapper to dispose of the used gum.
I keep a blue flag hanging out my backside
But only on the left side, yeah that’s the Crip side.
Is your Gramdpa Snoop Dogg?
But seriously he sounds like he was a great guy.
Yes! Such a simple handy thing that often gets overlooked. I used my black paisley one today as a head sweat band (not the style you showed lol, but karate kid style head band) for doing work out in the sun to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
My dad always kept padlock through his bandana, he would use the lock to lock is motorcycle off when he walks away from it and the bandana was to keep him from forgetting the lock was on it. He kept in his back pocket even when he wasnt riding for The obvious reason of a handkerchief and Lock to keep it from falling out of your pocket and if need be it could double as a self-defense weapon with the lock. Ive started to do the same and it works well and isn't as much of a pain to carry as you would think
Never leave home without a pocketknife & a cotton hankie 😁
I got long hair I only wear them to keep hair from my eye... and my fav wwe wrestler wear em so I started to... hopefully I don’t run into trouble
My Pa used handkerchiefs all day, everyday. One in the chest pocket, one in the back pocket... when he died my granny took a sharpie and wrote, “this belonged to Pa” and the day he was born/died and gave one to everyone at the funeral that wanted one. Old country people, simple folk...
Love the idea of American made products. The fact that it comes from you means that I can trust it’s quality as well. I’d spend the money for sure.
I am 14 and my grandpa has a horse farm and he teaches me the same values
No.1. Always have a good knife
No.2 always have a bandanna ( from the south it’s not a hankie)
Look up "DELI FRESH DESIGNS" IN DENVER CO, he hand makes his products on vintage sewing machines. Primarily makes fly fishing gear, but I have seen he makes other items too.
I use mine under my cap so that it drapes over the back of my neck and ears to keep mosquitoes off and the sun. I was taught to always carry on in the event a lady would need one in a time of grief. I never leave home without my bandana. I often on hikes or trips carry two. Dozens of uses from first aid to survival. Yes I want a Wranglerstar Bandana!
I took up carrying a handkerchief while I lived in Japan as did the Japanese. Paper towels/hand driers were scarce, even in Tokyo. This was around 2009. I since kept up the habit and they come in "handy" all the time. Cheers!
7:22 *Philistine* Is probably one of my favorite insults.
To be honest, there are plenty of thing to disagree with wranglerstar about. Politics, church, weapons law, but there is also something to agree about, maintenance of your old tools, don't throw thing away just because it isn't new anymore......and this, I would like to see quality items from the states again. Especially gloves, shoes, boots, denim, hats and why not .... A handkerchief...in Europe we don't see American quality products anymore...we hardly see European quality either. Everything is made other places in the world, where price is the only thing that's matter... let's bring quality back.
My grandfather also carried a handkerchief and I started carrying my own since I’ve been 15.
@wranglerstar you should buy/ try an American Hemp handkerchief. I bought some during the pandemic and I’d say it’s better than most factory fabricated ones I own.
When I was 11 I found a blue carhart bandana in the trash my dad threw away after work, all it had was some grease on it. I washed it and have had it now for 8 years always.
Wow, thats actually pretty cool. Must have alot of sentimental value to it by now.
Rj SKUM wouldn’t trade it for $1000 haha.
"You can even use it as a headband, i dont know why you would want to do that.." Lol the whole reason im watching this video is to find new ways of folding bandanas for headwear!!! Ive always done it one way my entire life (a straight thin head band) and want to find new folding techniques. Bandanas are great headwear if you have long hair and want to keep it out of the wind/your face. Its the thinnest and most cool headwear there is for hot days. I have worn hairbows when i worked in construction because its mandated, but i personally dont like them and they make your hair shaped strange when you remove the hair bow but have yet to shower. I honestly dont know why anyone would want to use a bandana for cleaning your hands, face, or children... i carry a thicker, and tougher rag in my back pocket.
For the bandana, for the final fold, I fold it into thirds. I find that it fits my back pocket better that way. I almost always carry one with me.
My new idea create bandanna of NFL team logos bucs, cowboys, Patriots, etc yes

Where are ya having issues carrying?
@@AJ-ri5ee Work puts me in multiple schools, admin buildings and health facilities. Increasing numbers of metal detectors and visual checks. Needed, due to the bad'uns, but bothersome for us good'uns. Makes regular carry of stronger tools impossible.
They do make very strong plastic and ceramic knives to cure that. Obviously concealed means concealed and your safety is number 1.
Victoinoxes are generally quite unthreatening, you can get away with a decently sized knife without neurotics freaking out.
@@dagneytaggart7707 that would sure make it hard.

I’ve never heard of sugar cane pants. How do they compare to Levi’s 501’s? I’m assuming they are higher quality but what about the fit/style?
I like my Levi's (511 usually). Have worn only them since probably college time, 15 years ago.
They're skinny jeans but I'm skinny and I think they look good. They're not skin tight but I hate loose fitting clothes nowadays so for me I think they work.
clamum there is a difference between well fitting jeans and fashion jeans. Companies make different cuts since people come in different sizes. I couldn’t get my leg into a pair of skinny jeans if my life depended on it.

I'll tell you what, if you and Jack start making your own American made products I'd buy them in a heart beat. It's hard to find good American products these days and I think with your following they'd sell great.
Regarding your aversion to synthetic fibers, I've always felt the same way. I always wore 100% cotton growing up except in the winter. I remember when I was in the Army, and we changed from BDUs to ACUs and the brown cotton shorts went away, we were issued polyester shirts. I was constantly itchy, but couldn't ever find that shirt in a natural material. Now that I'm out, if I have to wear a synthetic shirt, I have to wear a cotton shirt underneath.
It’s cool to be seating out on the patio this morning and watching another wonderful video of a great story and memorable moment of Cody’s Granddad ... 👍👍. I love everyone of them.
I usually keep 2 on me 1 on my wrist to wipe sweat away from my eyes and one in my back pocket
Its also verry usefull for guitarists. I wore them on stage to wipe my sweaty hands
I have been folding my bandana like this for over 30 years . I'm 51
I wear mine as a head band every day.... I have a mane though and it keeps the sweat in line
Little disappointed. I thought this was a video on how to fold a banana.
At least I’m not a west coast guy who has pockets so big they keep their camp axe in it

- Jocko Willink
My number one use for the "hanky" _is_ the headband. It's good enough for Les Stroud so I gave it a go. I tried the baseball cap thing, but the sweat builds up then cascades down and makes life miserable for a glasses wearer. The "headband" (or whatever) wicks the sweat up and works so much better in the hot & humid mid-Atlantic region. Plus when I'm hiking or mowing I don't get konked in the noggin' by a tree limb like I do when wearing the cap.
The election is going in right now but I'd rather watch this.
Man Cody, you read my mind. I decided to be a desperado at work by using a handkerchief as a mask versus those stupid flimsy impractical face masks. I was going to google how to correctly fold one. 🤠👍
I carry a 3 blade Old Timer. One older carbon steel the other stainless. Don't carry a hanky anymore. When I was working I did, but retired Sherlock has paper towels in the shop and a first aid kit in the truck.
Always wear carpenter pants with my phone in the folding rule pocket, my knife in the left front pocket, a ball point pen and pencil in my right front pocket, keys,and change in my right front, and my wallet, if I carry it, in the right rear. If I 'm going into a place where I would worry about a pickpocket I turn around and leave.

I am 68, and have always carried a handkerchief, and a pocket knife. I would feel naked without them.
Similar i was always told belt, Pocket knife, handkerchief . Farm kid's always had these things
Nodak = lockback knife and a pair of pliers on the belt. Hanky in the back pocket.
Honestly I never carry a handkerchief I probably should because it saves money. But I always get me about three or four paper towels and fold them up in my pocket.
Great video Cody @WranglerStar
never heard of sugarcane jeans. Just found them. are they really $300 usd and more??
They have actual sugarcane fibre in them.
Some people have worn their jeans for five years.
I like the idea of you starting to make things made in America. I believe that's where this country needs to go we need to get back to making our own things.
My Poppy and my Dad always carried a hankie and passed that onto me also. I feel totally naked without my neatly folded handkerchief.
I am just here to find out if i am smart!
