Building a collection of quality menswear, accessories, and essentials. As someone dedicated to minimal aesthetics, I also ascribe to the "less is more" philosophy to a certain scale. It's not about the current trends; it's about determining what is really meaningful to you. My name is Val and welcome to my channel.
I only have 1 dislike about the car that you mentioned “suspension” I rate it at 60/100 if it was 70/100 it would be perfect for the price and being an entry level Mercedes. My plans are to graduate to a CLS 550 but to keep the CLA as a daily driver. Great video by the way!
You can only use cedar shoe trees on leather sneakers. If the inside of your shoes are fabric the cedar will stain the inside of your shoes. Worth noting.
have you had any issues with the black aluminum color over time? like scratches revealing silver underneath, or fading and such? i’ve often heard ppl say there are these issues with black aluminum, but i also find it a very pretty color, so i want to ask.
Yep, you can already see from my check-in large. The revealing of silver underneath really doesn't bother me. I just found silver with black scratches bothers me more. Pure personal preferences.
I traveled over a million miles with Rimowa and Tumi. I also used Samonite sometimes which lasts at least 250k miles. I have had wheels broken off and banged up pretty hard (to the point of not moving or not able to go in a straight line. I had screws fallen off. So, you may need repairs. Just keep in mind that you are buying this for flying, not for saving it in mint condition in your home. If you do not want to see your expensive suitcase scratched up, then do not buy one. Get a less expensive one like Samsonite.
I thought I would be ok with the scratches, and I think I am still, but the dents that ultimately start changing the shape and functionality when you close is a tough experience. I also learned how to repair these things on my own at this point.
Yeah, funds raised through the partnership have been invested in over 120 projects, reaching more than 2 million at-risk children and youth through education, emergency response, poverty reduction and youth empowerment programs.
This Submariner looks too big for you. If you really like the model, I would go for the slightly smaller earlier versions without the Maxi case. Honestly I would also go with a thinner watch, maybe a Patek or one of the new Rolexes on a leather strap.
Quality matters but be careful , a luxury brands name quality does not necessarily equate to high quality. More often than not, you are paying for overhead and prestige of name rather than quality.
Quality definitely comes first. With similar quality, I tend to get garments from brands with great heritage and aligned aesthetics. By the end of the day, it's all personal preferences.
@@freddiefloro863 Been carrying it almost everyday since I bought it. Haven't had any wear and tear so far. But it's the same like any other leather goods, it really depends on how you wear them.
My Goodfellow man, thanks for the attempt, but there is a fail on behalf of explaining the purpose for the different types of shoe trees that go in different types of footwear. For example, the shoe tree that has the extended spring on the rear are probably designed for loafers as they don’t put stress on the sides of the loafer shoe, where as the double strut shoe tree is likely designed for a gunboat blutcher, a single strut shoe tree that is either hinged or strutted, but raised with an arch at the foot area or more for ox squirts
@@rrkk773 The cabin plus is great. I did get a protectecve cover that is see through just because I didn't want any scratches. They sell some non-generic fitted ones for like $70 from third parties. Then I also got some packing cubes to help organize the interior a bit too. Love the rimowa.
I am thinkin about buying this! What i find kind of weird is the fact that it can only be adjusted on one side. There is no way to firmly adjust the other side, right? Thanks a lot.
My mom has a small one and it definitely looks really good. If I ever get one it'll be all black and only for hand carry. Checking it in and knowing that air crew will just throw it around will be the death of me for its price.
@@bk1109 So you really wanna spend on a $2000 luggage being thrown out? They may be battle scars, but you (the owner) aren't the one, scarring it in the first place.
@@seannightwal1765 the Rimowa is made of aluminium and as such, even the carry-ons will dent and scratch in the overhead bins and normal usage. As a buyer, this “damage” should be accepted as norm. Like everything, each person has their own choice and I respect that completely. From my side I have no issues with the banging these designs take as it’s part of the Rimowa experience.
I just ordered type 1 and type 5 from Cedar Elements. Looks like I picked the most effective types. Would you say these will work for boots too? Or would a separate boot tree be better (for boots going over the ankle but not that high).
Wow, I think that this really is the perfect sneaker collection: - The taupe Common Projects bring a minimal, sophisticated and yet modern feel. - The all-white GATs bring a sporty and yet clean everyday look. - And the Lanvin sneakers being a beautiful brown suede bring a rich, colorful final addition. The rubber toecap and muted suede make it perfect for Fall/Winter looks. I'll be sure to reference this video when building my own collection!
It has a heavily customised movement, and the case is made by one of the best case makers in Switzerland G and f chatelain! The silver dial is gorgeous ❤
