Damn scary, Chase….I just watched another one of your videos on pants, and I said to myself “I wish you discussed what shirts you wear!”….and WA-LAH! This video. Again, I’m a guy in my last years in my 60s…retired Navy…and cleaning out my closet of everything except BYLT and Western Rise. After two careers in the military and federal law enforcement, I still work hard to stay in shape (in fact, I gave away my daughter wearing the same Navy formal dress blues that I wore in 1994!). I’ll look into SeaDawn for t shirts…though I really like my BYLT tees! Another hit out of the park, Chase…and I’m liking the fact that my closet is starting to look sparse! Take care, amigo…be safe!
Found a MinistryOfSupply lavender dress shirt at the local GoodWill thrift store and it was in clean condition, less than $10. What a steal. Didn’t know about the brand until I came across this video. Never heard of it.
Great clothes - own a few pieces myself. Lululemon pace breaker linerless 6" shorts (hemmed) are my favorite, as well as Mizzen and main shirts. I wear the Lululemon Commission slim black pants every day.
I highly recommend Unbound Merino. I love their Ts (the current iteration is amazingly soft), and their boxers and socks are great, too. Sweatpants are on my list after I wear through some of my current yoga pants... :)
I have about 5 UM tees 1 brief and 8 socks,(crew & ankle).I also like Public Rec, Bluffworks, Smartwool & Icebreaker.I'm a big merino wool user for travel.
Great video Chase! Have you checked out mission workshop or outlier? Those were my old stand by choices but going to try some of these out. The AirLoft Hooded Jacket looks identical to the arcteryx atom jacket. Do you wear/like any of the traditional outdoor brands? Thanks!
Awesome video man, thanks for the time you spend on that. Love the way you present it all, feels very authentic every time. I got the Wandrd Prvk backpack after watching all your bag reviews, and couldn't be happier about it. I'll go and check out all these and the de cluttering recommendations as well. BTW that outro music slaps, what's the title please?
Seadon Daymaker shirts are hands down my favorite daily t-shirts. The fact that they're made from recycled/upcycled plastic bottles is a huge plus. Also a big fan of the WesternRise AirLoft jacket. It took some getting used to (pockets are too far back, in my opinion) but it's extremely versatile. I've worn it in 25 degree weather with just a t-shirt on (this morning; + hat, gloves, scarf) and 50 degree weather with just a t-shirt on and I'm comfortable. Very impressed.
Thanks Chase! Great content as always. Just grabbed a few of these! My wife is wondering if you have any good suggestions for similar clothing companies for women??
I've found myself kind of stuck when it comes t-shirts made from polyester or other non-natural fibers (and clothes in general). Like you said Chase, I like the idea of shirts made from recycled plastic bottles, as it's great repurposing of our plastic waste and saves tons of water that would go into something like cotton production for example. But then I wonder about the micro-plastics issue. It seems like we're washing away a huge mount of micro-plastic fibers from our clothes every time we wash straight into the water system and I'm not sure if that's able to be removed before it's out in the world. And that makes me question what is best, you know? How does one weigh the pros and cons of water consumption vs micro-plastic production. And do bamboo/hemp/merino fiber clothing potentially offer any solutions? I personally haven't a clue and that's where I find myself stuck and not sure what to buy but it seems hard to find information on comparisons of the full impact of different fabric materials. If you Chase, or anyone has some good information to share, I'd love to hear! And as always thanks for your videos Chase!
Dude, love where your head’s at. If you find info plz do share. In the same boat. And I bet Carson from Seadon and Malcolm from Pakt and Will from Western Rise are our people for this kind of exploration. You find anything and you holler 👍
Hey Jeff, happy to offer my own perspective on this and explain a little bit about how we position ourselves as an outdoor lifestyle brand that offers ‘sustainable’ goods, even though there's really no such thing as a 'sustainable' clothing brand, or any brand that produces products for that matter. This is the first thing we don’t shy away from (Greenwashing is another topic of its own which we can hopefully discuss over a beer one day). We know we are making stuff as a company and this cannot ever be considered as sustainable. We also cannot control how people consume, and we have to respect this. We are not going to be like ‘you must be eco-friendly’, ‘you must recycle’ etc… We will never force anyone to do anything. I think this is counter productive. What we can offer is a safe place for people to buy high-quality products that are responsibly made from the ground up- from sourcing the most sustainable alternative materials, to partnering with vetted factories that pay their workers fairly. To see more details, feel free to check out our sustainability page: seadon.co/pages/sustainability. We are pretty proud of our packaging system. =) In terms of synthetics vs natural materials - natural materials would always be a more sustainable alternative than synthetics, but in terms of performance, synthetics are still on top. Material innovation has come a long way and we are seeing some exciting developments with biodegradable synthetics. The next stage is demand which will drive cost down for everyone. So in a way, as cliche as it may sound, the reality is we need more people to buy ‘sustainable’ stuff in order to give material companies the reason to invest in bringing these technology and materials to market. Now I am not trying to say ‘buy from us and the planet will be saved’. We all have to do our little part and for you to bring this discussion to the table, is actually the most important first step - just be more conscious and tread lightly. If natural materials are good enough for your lifestyle, then I would recommend sticking to it and look for companies who source these materials responsibly. If you need some recommendations, let me know! Happy to help. -Carson
I was led to believe that in an ideal world Chase already spoke out about this issue in the video above and didn’t shy away from being honest and authentic about it. Kinda like Chase’s earlier bag videos, when brand publicity and promotional videos were a distant wish. Understandably, the mind doesn’t want to let down the friends and well wishers who’ve acknowledged his personality and supplied the pile of clothes we see here. Your honest comment here, Jeff, is the missing link of this upload. Thank You for noticing the elephant in the room. All is well now. My heart goes out to all a y’all "Jeffs" and "Chases" out there! May we never have to wear a micro-plastic bottle again!
Seadon t-shirts are cut WAY tight! The materials are great, but I had to send them back. I don't know where they get there taylors from, but their sizes are really small. In the US, I can fit an XL, but I will order an XXL to fit loosely on me. Knowing Seadon were cut small according to their website, I ordered XXL, which I would have anyhow, but they were very tight and had a hard time getting the Daymaker on at all. The Trailblazer was better, but still not flattering.
My take: I save money. These things don’t break down the same way as cheaper, less eco conscious, less conscious wage fast fashion. Western rise evolution pant and lens shoes are great examples of that. But that’s just my take. My friend Jae got me into thinking longer term about clothing spends like this (partly as he was talking himself into buying something from arcteryx)
Polyester is way more comfortable than cotton any day. Most of the clothes I wear on a daily basis are polyester fabrics. The technology behind plastic yarns these days have far outpaced staple cotton
@@GatorAidMedical Good sales pitch, Mr.salesman! With the exception of swimming trunks that need to dry quickly, every other piece of clothing directly touching the skin (as advertised by Chase, reluctantly) will always feel better, softer, warmer, cooler and overall more comfortable if made from natural fabrics. Every single time. Good luck trying to find some without added synthetics. I don’t buy this glorified plastic bottle bs. And my skin doesn’t lie… …for digits.
@@chasereeves My guy, Chase! 🤗 Believe me, I’ve tried giving synthetics a chance, more than once, but my skin just didn’t want any. 🤷♂️ Especially T’s! I guess those darned plastic bottles just itched me up too much. Or felt too unnatural I suppose. And if by "magical" You mean "deceiving" I really wish it wouldn’t be more of that, but I have a hunch that You may be on to something. Regardless. Papa bless. 😑 🙏
Hey Curt, if you use the link provided in the video description, you'll get 35% OFF on the tees. Our signature Merino Wool + Tencel tees are made from premium fabrics hence the more premium prices. We also pay our workers fairly and we donate part of the proceeds to non-profits. A good intro to trying our fabrics will be the Daymaker tee, which is going for $26 per tee if you use the link provided by Chase. If you don't think our fabrics are good enough, just send them back (we offer a no risk return policy). It's a win-win! Have a good one!
Love the Ram Dass shirt at the beginning!
I love the way you explain. I can really feel what you’re talking about. Thanks for the recommendations

@@AndyJayLark the fact that you call synthetic yarns plastic bottles lets me know your education level very clearly. I feel bad for you.

Thanks for what you do brother. Merry Xmas if you don't post again before then 🤘🤘

Ditto. Why the sweats are only in 28 in inseam is beyond me. What a bummer.

Cool recommendations, next time I buy something new I’ll look into these brands. Thrifting and buying used is still gonna be my main jam though
Great video Chase!

How well does ministry of supply apollo shirt perform and handle odor?
I worked for ministry they do a great job of explaining their tech on their blogs and how it’s sustainable and why they’re in China etc
is a leather jacket kosher with you? would love to see some suggestions.
Long time listener, first time caller: do you prefer the 130 or the 210 Wool & Prince?
I think I like the lighter more.
Hey whats your weight and height for reference on the shirts?
where can we find the 50 years here t-short you're wearing instead?!
heck yeah!
