Fr. Dumb blokes always be utilizing “cost per wear” to justify expensive luxury purchases. There’s a reason why they are luxury you bozos, it’s for that initial emotion 😂
As a Canadian who lives and grew up in the northernmost city over a million in North America (actually one of the places Errolson Hugh went to school) to parents who were always really into hiking and camping, I can say with certainty that the trinity of Columbia, The Northface and Arcteryx are all brands that you will find in like 99% of outdoorsy people's wardrobes here and for good reason. In fact they were all largely considered 'dad brands' here up until pretty recently for their ubiquity in the camping world. Anyways my favourite jacket and most of my favourite pieces I own are actually And Wander so I'm glad you mentioned them! Great looking and high quality stuff, and there's a store within walking distance of me that annually blows it out at like -60% off so I've acquired a few nice bags and such that way as well.
I almost never do these bits of engagement bait…but what the hell…my favourite jackets right now are; 1. Chester Perry Metropolis series Co-Ted Explorer 2. Chester Perry Metropolis Tracery PRILFT. (Both have really interesting GD processes and the way they catch the light is sublime.) 3. Left Hand Elvo anorak 4. ST-95 Drogue smock 2.0 5. RÆBURN air brake anorak 6. SS23 Stone Island taupe/rust ice jacket. The thing is absolutely beautiful if not particularly wearable day to day. 7. The Vollebak Full Metal Jacket is amazing aesthetically. I feel like an astronaut every time I put it on. 8. The RÆBURN x Timberland puffer parka, it’s a stone cold banger and I wore it almost the entire winter. Notable mention goes to the SS23 Nike Tech-Pack Gore-Tex field jacket. Been wearing it almost a year now and it’s incredible for everyday use.
I picked up a Haven bellum (basically M65 style) jacket in white goretex pro and it looks sharp as hell. And its for some reason half price of the black version. It got marked down like $100 like a week after I bought it and I emailed haven and they gave me an in store credit for the price difference. Shout out to Haven!
4:30 I’m glad you’re putting this info out there. I do some copywriting for a small eco-friendly technical womens outerwear brand in Seoul, and I’ve since learned that fake YKK zips are indeed a thing. Not only are they worse in quality, they aren’t tested for dangerous heavy metals. Same thing with snaps and other metal hardware.
My favorite jacket that I currently own is probably the J101-GT from ACR. The only “downside” is that…well, I picked the White one; so now I gotta deal with the consequences of it being said color 🤣
As far as jackets go, Neighborhood is my go to. Sooo many cool options in all ranges. Got 5 of them and I love em all 🫶🏻 Made In Japan, nice cuts, always good materials and sharp design. Nemen is also good if you’re going flashy. Really drooling over the Acronym jackets, but havent «gone there» yet.
over the past year I've been wearing almost exclusively Beyond and Oros jackets, Beyond is super functional and more typical outdoor performance styles; Oros is definitely Techware influenced and I think the design are great
Tbh my favorite jacket is a surplus US Navy greatcoat that I took the faux-fur lining out of. It's got the cool factor of a long coat, but with the military credentials that mean it's actually practical. I almost never wear it.
I currently wear a lot of Blåkläder, which is a danish workwear brand, the designs are functional but the clothes feel and look really nice as well. Other than that I have a frilufts rain jacket that weighs next to nothing but has the highest water resistance I have ever encountered on a jacket below 700€...and it only cost me 199.
Hey i saw you got the j119-ws i was thinking of picking that one up, but the price got me debating about it. Do you think its worth it? Can you tell me anything about it to help me decide?
I would avoid drop-shipped/Aliexpress/Temu garbage like the plague as there are cheaper options available domestically that are still very solid for the price. One of my favourite "technical" jackets is a Kirkland's Signature light nylon jacket from Costco that was like $20 lmao.
Vintage Burton Analog jackets for the win (especially those designed by Hugh, you can find em for very cheap if you look in the right places, so you don’t have to pay 2000 euros for modern Hugh designs 😁).
re: Ideal zips they’re good quality, at least on the same level of mid-high end YKK zips in my experience (i wouldn’t say i’ve owned any that feel as nice as an excella). i think they started as a military grade hardware manufacturer (my memory could be completely off base, though) and i’d say comparatively the zips i’ve seen from them are beefier/heavier overall, especially with how the action feels.
My favoite windbreaker I own is by 5.11 and I got for $50 on deep discount which it has alot of the features of the high end jackets but not goretex....
2:27 I prefer my Chinese factory stuff that way because it's more honest and cheaper... Not saying their is anything wrong with a brand using that stuff and being the middle man you deal with on amazon/ebay/walmart that ensures quality... It's just those types are rare and the no better then importers who charge 3x extra are seemly infinite.
So only rain shells right? 1. Adidas RainRdy Color Changing 2. Adidas Parley Myshelter 3. Atom LT (GOAT) 4. Veilance Nemis 5. System A Moroz 6. Uniqlo Blocktech Coat Flirting with a Goldwyn 0 one for quite a while now. Acronym I might not be hardcore enough but never say never.
I have absolutely zero issues with mine. The RRP is steep but if you can get it for 40-50% off it’s a good buy. Worth bearing in mind a) I bought it purely for aesthetics and b) I have a silly budget for my hobbies.
Hi Antwon, do you think that the retailers that are a part of Enshadower such as Casstac have gotten better now? The current products on their webpage look a lot better than their previous products. At least the pricing has stayed very affordable.
My favorite clothing brand atm is lululemon. People will first think of their athletic and athleisure wear, which is overpriced but very good, but I actually really like their professional clothing. I have a really cool noragi-inspired collarless blazer from them and their button-up shirts are a traditional cut but use more comfortable fabric and include technical features like hidden vents to regulate temperature and hidden zippers to keep pockets closed.
I used to not get the point of jackets that turn into bags cause if i suddenly need a bag i wont prefer to have to take my jacket off... then i realized its just for people like me that dont like tying the sleeves around our waists when it gets warmer
omg the gore-tex memes just transported me into another reality 🫨 my fav jackets are Y-3. Excellent mix of quality, unique but minimal design, interesting/unexpected fabrics, functionality.
Yes! I have a few pants and shirts from them really well made and have good quality materials on those pieces, i don't own a jacket from them but i assume it is the same waterproof material used on the plants which works well. Would definitely size up when buying im slim, 6'2 and XL fits
I had the Stephen cargos and a winter jacket. The quality sucks bad, the material is way to cheap for the actual price your paying, i just ended up getting acronym at some point anyway. Buy cheap- buy double
6:15 What about 5:11, Rothco and other tacital brands(Including Nike's actual tactical stuff)? There normally cheaper, more stylish, Better made and more practical then even the Colombia shown.
Man your videos have an awful effect on my ears, I mean literally it resonates with my ears and my ears go humming everytime I watch a video of yours. Strange.

The thing about expensive jackets is amortization. It's the cost, divided by how many times you actually wear it. Therefore, divided by like 2

Lovely justification for purchasing expensive shit /s

By the way in the US "Made in" means 80% made in and "assembled in" Means we took all our parts and put them together here.

Thank you for falling for the engagement bait! I hadn't heard of some of these brands so i'm gonna check them out.
I'm a big fan of Krakatau for jackets and coats: high-performance minimalist style at a reasonable price.
YES! Features for days! Such an underrated brand.
oh you like jackets? Name every jacket in existence.
Lol 😂
Full metal jacket!!!
The bubba gump of jackets😂
Denim, sports , windcheater ,Bomber, motorcycle, racer, leather, teachwear

Great video by the way I did learn some things about windbreakers and this type of street wear!
over the past year I've been wearing almost exclusively Beyond and Oros jackets, Beyond is super functional and more typical outdoor performance styles; Oros is definitely Techware influenced and I think the design are great
Can you please do a best of waterproof shoes video because I need pair for this summer
I love mountain hardware, the cost to performance is one of the best on the market
I were to buy one of those I would look deep into it but just based on looks the "Machine 56" Jacket looked so cool.

Just got the Goldwin 0 seed jacket and I been loving it so far
Hey i saw you got the j119-ws i was thinking of picking that one up, but the price got me debating about it. Do you think its worth it? Can you tell me anything about it to help me decide?
I swear to God i keep hearing JBL connect sound again & again around 17 minutes in. Great video as always, Ant.

As expensive as some of these jackets are, you can clearly see the details and cool design elements that make up a portion of the price.
i bought the nike acronym jacket in black after seeing your vid last year, still one of my fav pieces i own
I love Ten-c for the classy designs and incredibly well-built quality, but it's not exactly a technical brand. Descente is also a great one
Vintage Burton Analog jackets for the win (especially those designed by Hugh, you can find em for very cheap if you look in the right places, so you don’t have to pay 2000 euros for modern Hugh designs 😁).
Last year I bought a Goldwin perfect unlimited 2l jacket. And it was worth every penny. Basically wear no other jacket anymore.
re: Ideal zips

I like the look of some of the cheap ones, so I'd just take the pattern and make a better version.
Psymon in SSX, what a deep cut.
Jackets? Ant it’s almost summer. 😄
mate have you been to the UK, it doesn't care, it WILL rain
That nortface poncho tho⚡️⚡️⚡️
What are folks thoughts on Mountain Hardware gear? I have a couple of their pieces and enjoy the performance.
Love these types of videos and that undercover x the North face jacket is insane!
I picked up a jacket collab between Almost Black and D-vec and it's amazing!
What chain are you wearing? Looks great. Thanks in advance
My favoite windbreaker I own is by 5.11 and I got for $50 on deep discount which it has alot of the features of the high end jackets but not goretex....
military cosplay ahh brand
You should have various people of different size try on some of the jackets. Like a meathead, chubster, skinny girl etc.
i just orderd the acrnm j110ts-gt 2 days ago and yes acrnm is my favorit brand cus i just love the design, its goin to be my second jacket

talk about jackets when summer is about to come
Rosen X is goated jacket brand albeit bespoke and niche.
So only rain shells right?
1. Adidas RainRdy Color Changing
2. Adidas Parley Myshelter
3. Atom LT (GOAT)
4. Veilance Nemis
5. System A Moroz
6. Uniqlo Blocktech Coat
Flirting with a Goldwyn 0 one for quite a while now. Acronym I might not be hardcore enough but never say never.
Nice video Anne-Marie, hair lookin cleannn again in this one x
What are those frames in the intro?! Mykita? Whatever they are, they look great
Anyone know any other jackets with the reversed seam taping like the System A Moroz? Looks really sick.
Damn I was about to buy the 13 pound jacket.
dieing inside as I realize the lunarcore raptor is sold out except for xl ( I do not fit in an xl (I could but it would fall to my ankles))
2k for a jacket is wild af. Nothing can justify such price... same goes for sneakers above $120 retail
Ookay, teachwear terms exploited, 98% black, sick vid :b
Also, holy hell its interesting why its so hard to find good looking camera bags lmao
First :D Wuhuu Antwon you're really going for that 90's Backstreet Boys haircut :)
nice good to see another one of these types of vids
I really like khujo currently
i feel so special in my all white gtx pro jacket
6:55 Liefeld ass jacket
imo, the best on your rig is - nemen
Actually, there is no difference between something like omni-tech and gore-tex since the patent expired and everyone can use PTFE membranes,
4:40 what is the name of the one to the right?
Love these informative videos, thanks for making it!
I SAW 1 FRAME OF LUCAS JACKET, LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Is vollebak any good? They have some wild thing on their website, but it seems gimmicky to me
They are tempting though right? 😮
I have absolutely zero issues with mine. The RRP is steep but if you can get it for 40-50% off it’s a good buy.

my catstac pants has shit zippers too
Ik fr! They just never stay closed smh

chinese sizing is two to three sizes different from US sizing in my expereince.

Can iPhones, MacBook pros, and Nikons be made in China? Yes
I only don't buy gtx for 3k because it won't last more than 5 years if you actually use it, not because I'm poor.
3:44Loose theads is normal in combat, field and tactical gear... It really should not be a sign of quality to anyone.
anyone have experience with ReindeeLusion?
Usually mid quality and not that breathable fabrics, I’d invest a bit more money to buy something else, or buy second hand.
