    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 own less and own better.

    Outstanding series! I grew up with Sears, Roebuck catalogs explaining “Good, Better, Best” for lots of their products. I think it made me a better consumer, and I’m sure your series is doing the same for your viewers. Not just for the products you review, but for everything we buy.

    I bought one $30ish Henley from Bronson, and I loved it so much I've bought several more. I love the way they fit, and they're right there in that middle category you mentioned. I have their regular, and ribbed Henley's, and one of the "vintage" inspired ones, all great.

    Now hear me out. If you are actually going to be working in these, I'm talking roofing, yard work, cutting down trees, etc. Hanes Beefy-T Henley and Dickies Henley's have performed excellently. Fit and finish can be iffy but I've worn mine once a week for 7ish years and am just now having to replace a couple them. Crazy I know lol.

    I have a henley from Merz B. Schwannan and it's definitely worth the money; my only criticism is the slightly scoop neck which I'm not crazy about. My favorite is from Pherrow's. While the buttons are not mother of pearl, it is made of heavy gauge loop wheel cotton and most importantly crew neck.

    my favorite henley is one from LVC, its got linen weaved into it if i understand correctly, rarer than anything ive ever seen for a mass produced item, Jake from Almostvintagestyle shows it off every now and then, he could explain it better. If i could find something identical to it I'd buy 7 for every day of the week!

    Here, your philosophy is pragmatic. Kind of “workwear vs workwear fashion.” In other vids, i.e., indigo belts and $1k+ boots, the fashion part dominates. I think your audience appreciates both aspects of your reviews - I sure do. (Still waiting on Weatherwool. Probably December, huh?)

    I don't know much about shirts, but I have what I think is a Henley shirt that my dad used to own.
    Its 100% cotton from St John's Bay, but after wearing it for seven years I've really worn it out. 😅
    Been looking for something to replace it, but at this point I'm wondering whether I should try and
    find someone to "repair" it.
    I hadn't seen anything like it on their site in terms of look, and while I find it hard to discern texture
    from their pictures, it doesn't look like any of their featured henleys match it.

    New to your channel. I really like that Stevenson Loopwheeled Henley. I found one, but they appear to run small. What size do you have and how does it fit? I have a 40.5” chest and 17.5” shoulders and by their chart that would be XL. However, I’m a medium in most shirts.
