15 Things Every Man Should Own 

1. Well stocked tool kit 2. A Navy Blazer 3. Cast Iron Skillet 4. A quality watch 5. Classic pair of sunglasses 6. Pocket knife 7. Weekend (duffel) bag 8. 2 pairs of dress shoes (black & brown) 9. Dopp kit 10. Comfortable (subjectively) mattress 11. One killer suit 12. Signature scent (referring to cologne) 13. Slim minimalist wallet 14. Recipe book 15. Passport

Every man should own a solid library with a Bible, a Dictionary and an atlas…..some books that will inspire and cussed him to aspire to greatness. Everyman should own a journal and a good pen to write down ideas or note items or experiences he needs to document or that he wants to remember

I do all the cooking (and the grocery shopping.) I inherited a Griswold cast iron frying pan from my grandmother. The thing is well over 100 years old. It’s a cherished family heirloom. Keep it clean with just water and a plastic scrub pad, put it back on the stove, heat it up on medium to evaporate the water, let it cool, wipe it down with cooking oil and it will last more than a lifetime.

HELLA GOOD job, Jeff!! I've had everything on this list for decades and have done my best to pass such a list on to the generations that follow mine. Your celebrity status puts a fine point on it. BRAVO-ZULU!

Love how you stepped out from the style aspect of the channel and encompassed everyday life skills (not just things) men should have.

Awesome list.

Great list and I agree. I’m happy to say that I’m 15 for 15. Really thankful for your advice and validation

What about medical insurance/Reg. Doctor, 2. Casual flex/soft bottom shoe, 3. Savings/investment accounts: 401k/stocks…,4. Emergency contact, 4. A. Living will/Beneficiary, 5. Nice complete set of cookware besides a cast iron skillet, 6. A nice set 2-4-6 matching plate/bowl/cup & flatware set, 7. Nice selection of adult beverages; wine/scotch/vodka…etc! Soooo many basics more important than a cast iron skillet in my opinion

hitting the nail on the head, OG thank you.

A great list, especially the tools & tool box, every man should strive to know the basic workings of his home. Perhaps a book of basic household repairs/maintenance that has tasks like fixing a leaky tap, shutting off water, installing a light fixture or wall plug socket etc to stash next to the toolbox.

Good stuff man!

Great video thanks for the vibes 😀.

This is a great list

loving your content, you're like a big bro i never had! respect man.

1. Well stock tool box 2. Navy Blazer 3. Cast iron skillet 🍳 4. Al least one quality watch 5. A classic pair of Sunglasses 🕶 6. A pocket knife 7. A weekend bag 💼 8. One black and one brown pair of dress shoes 9. A dock kit to travel toiletries 10. A comfortable mattress 11. One well tailored suit 12. One signature scent cologne 13. Slim wallet 14. A good cook book recipe book for men 15. Passport

This is a really good list. I’d also say a hand gun is pretty important but that’s not RU-vid friendly

Outstanding as always Jeff, appreciate you!

I didn’t know how much I needed this video. Thanks for always coming through with quality content, Jeff. Salute!

Another great video. Thanks

If I would have ordered the minimalist wallet I've had in my Amazon shopping cart the past week before I watched this video, I could honestly say I have everything on this list. Big shout out to you Jeff you're the #1 style channel I follow. Can't say enough about your influence. I have to give you your roses. You are the man. Keep doing what you do...💯

Jeff, I think every guy should own a couple of quality books! 📚 As a writer and reader myself, I can’t stress enough how much more interesting having some well rounded reading makes a person seem.

I haven't traveled out of the US since I got out of the Navy. I wholeheartedly agree on the passport. I need to get one soon. I have the rest of this list.

Love the Content Brotha

Great video as always Jeff. I would add a flashlight to the list. Salute!

Some informative info Dawg👊🏿

well put together. Thanks OG

I'm gonna have to agree bro. You definitely put some deep thoughts into this one. This was good. Great job!!

As usual, the apparel is on point. I’m taking notes 📝

Great content thank you.

Nice list OG.👌🏽 You got me with the recipe book recommendation - I got to step my "cooking" game up!

Good advice,thanks you!

Thank you OG Boss

Thanks for the shout out OG.

Great topic OG

Jeffrey, Great comprehensive list of the basics every man needs. Great the you included a fragrance which is so overlooked. A stylish man also needs boots (dress, Chelsea and Chukkas) but you cover that very, very well. Thanks and Salute!

Awesome list

Very thorough and tastefully done O.G.!

Definitely need a weekend bag. I do have a signature cologne with me though.

Great list OG. Love that shirt and jacket combo.

Quality content. Thanks man.

Just came across your channel. Loving the content OG. Lots of gems! Salute!

Love the show style OG great advice

Style OG, A very detailed list my brother. The one item I need is the cook book. This can help me be more versatile in the kitchen. Every man needs some shoes tress for your dress shoes and sneakers. Thanks again for dropping the knowledge. Salute to the family.

Great list, Salute!

Yessir! Great video! Keep it up!

So you made a video like this a while back (nothing wrong with updating with similar videos so they are the top of watching list), and I bought the cast iron skillet after watching. Man, that was real advice right there. Great piece of cook wear.

I started a watch & sunglasses collection over the year. I now know, these are indispensable.

Great video as always and a great list. Got them all

Good stuff OG”👍🏾

I like that this video is very consistent with those you made on the same subject in the past. Saluuute!

Your videos are always informative, but you took it to another level with this one. 🤜🏽🤛🏾

Good to see you back Jeff. Little worried when you didn't show last week. And another great advice video!

Good video! 1) owning tools and knowing how to use them are two different things. Learn to use what you have. 2) A nice Navy blazer comes in handy for sure...I probably should go buy one one of these years. 3) Hard to go wrong with a cast iron skillet...but keep in mind, they come with a specific way of cleaning them. 4) I have one watch...only one watch and I wear it once every 4-5 yrs lol I'm self employed, homeowner (house paid off) and 3 vehicles paid off about to buy a 4th in full. Wearing a watch may scream responsible, just know there are some exceptions. 5) Shades are another good accessory for guys and their functional. I can go over board a little here and owned a small collection. 6) I would absolutely be lost without my pocket knives. I use them for everything, its like the most versatile tool! This one comes with a couple warnings though, know your state and local laws as well as how to handle a knife. And hospitals don't like their patients having them. I was hospitalized for COVID and security had to lock my knife up lol 7) Another Item I would be lost without, my weekend bag! The weekend bag is the next best thing since sliced bread! 8) In the past, I used to do only have one brown and one black pair of dress shoes. I don't how many I have know but its grown a lot. 9) I'm falling short on this one. I used to have several nice doc kit bags but who knows where they are now. Better get on this soon. 10) for sure! You spend like 8hrs a day sleeping...may as well have the best mattress you can afford. 11) Back in my Dallas days, I had to have a closest full of suits, summer, winter, business, business casual, etc. Now days I just keep one single black suit. I'm kinda a fan of the blazer and dress jeans. 12) I usually pickup 1-2 of the top scents from some place like Macy's. Oh man, so the last one i bought they was out of smaller bottles and I really wanted that scent. So I bought this huge bottle! Probably a life time supply lol 13) I'm new to the whole slim wallet and I love it! Bought a couple different LV's for my suit and ended up using them every day. I'm not going back! 14) Every guy needs 2-3 signature type dishes but sure, having a couple cook books are nice as well. 15) Ugh, need to renew my passport. I have it all done up, just ran into a ton of problems...COVID blah.

Love the videos. Very helpfully for a newly 40 yr old man. I am lacking five items but will be getting them this week !!

Salute. Another awesome video

Nicely done Jeff, lots of common sense items that some would take for granted. Very well stated, and helpful!

Definitely agree especially with the tool box and passport

OG, since connecting with you I've upgraded almost everything I own now!!! Lol!! Thank you for being a man's man!!! Salute!!!

With all the unncessary stuff guys are buying these days its nice to know the OG got yur back on the true essentials. This is an awesome channel big bro! and these are things that almost any man can afford!

Good job! I’d even add a set of jumper cables to that

Very comprehensive list brother. I’d add to it the following: Bible, grooming/shaving kit, a bank account, a place all his own (be it apartment or a house), driver’s license, vehicle.

I love this channel. I would recommend a goto bottle of wine, whiskey 🥃, or rum to entertain guests. And a playlist that moves the crowd when entertaining guests. People will walk away remembering moments from an occasion

Thank you for information

Love this list! That signature fragrance is so true. For years my fragrance was Burberry Touch, but now it's YSL L'Homme Ultime.

This is a solid list. Good to know i own most of these.

You Nailed it again Jeff , thanks a lot , you so opened my eyes every time I watched your videos . You are my fashion tips God . Keep doing what you do best Brother.

Thanks for the information love your post. Keep up the great work 👍🏾 👏🏾

Great Gifts 🎁 list.

Love this channel 🗣️

Good advice Jeff! I also like that seersucker suit! Great for the summer and originated where I'm from, New Orleans.

I thank u hit that on the nail I own 10 plus of the items u talked about

Very nice list of things men should own (I own all of those things). This was an on time video, because I almost forgot I need to change out the toiletries in my weekend bag🙂. Keep those awesome videos coming good Sir...

Another great video. I appreciate the updated list. Definitely got some shopping to do. lol

My new go to RU-vidr! 🔥 💯

Bro your so right thanks for sharing real talk 👍🏾

Great video and value. Thanks for posting this. My list of extras not in the video is composed of: A) A shoe Shining Kit B) Hunting & Fishing Tools C) Quality First Aid Kit D) Leather Wallet or Quality Satchel (not a backpack) E) Quality Shaving Kit F) Daily "To Do List G) A Copy of at least five life changing/guiding Books My List Warrior Books A) The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi B) Rifleman Dodd by C.S. Forester Politician Book C) The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli Philosophy Book D) Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

I respect this list, this channel as a whole, as I am getting older and more mature. Thanks for the tips Jeff 💪🏼💯

Great list O.G.. A nice look with the seersucker as well. Salute!

U always get it right bro . Ur assessment is not under or over the top . 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 . The Common man appreciates u .

11:57 A Swiss Army Knife. I've owned the same 12 function model for 31 years. It has served me well. A quality Pocket Multi-Tool is a good alternative. (Leatherman, Gerber, etc.)

Great video as always.

Salute to you Jeff for the primo list! Adding on, I would say every man should own: 1. A barbecue grill and know how to work it. When a man controls his grill, he exudes confidence. 2. Jumper cables/battery charger. Men are mostly assumed to have automotive knowledge. Have these items and you can be a superhero to those in distress. 3. A leather jacket. Trust that you will add many swagger points to your wardrobe with this cool weather classic. Keep up the good work, Jeff! Always look forward to your presentations. Peace be to you!

Jeff put some thought into this. Tight list. A pair of boots is the only thing I would add

What's up my bro Og. You would be proud of your old bro I have everything on this list thanks to you. Good looking out my G. Salute my friend.

The tool box and the pocket knife relly got to me...I will work on owing those asap!

I’d add a handkerchief as well!

Hey Jeff! As usual, a very solid list. I have no complaints. If I could add something to that list, life insurance or a living will. Every man needs to have these documents up to date with everything going on in today's world. To quote Marlon Brando from "The Godfather": "Men can't afford to be careless about these things." Salute O.G.!

Great video I needs a new watch, and a new blazer or two 😎 and a a decent weekend bag for sure, thanks man.

This is a pretty functional list. #salute!

Another awesome video Jeff! I agree with this video which a man should own or have. I have been watching your videos over a year now and I learned a lot from you O.G. I have most of the things you mentioned. I need to get a passport in the future to have.

Great list. The weekend bag will be my next purchase. The old gym bag just isn’t cutting it.

A well stocked tool box (with the knowledge on how to use it.)

Thank you for that. Always have my Dopp kit but never thought about a recipe book. Thanks.

A very well thought out list, Jeff. It covers many evolutions of life. I offer one addition. A quality pocket knife or multi tool for every day carry. As the old motto says, be prepared. Thanx.

Have the three items already that you suggested now I need eleven more thanks OG 👍

really good list. this should be shown to young guys in senior year of high school

Good morning Jeff awesome video.PEACE AND BLESSINGS OG.

Looking very nice in the seersucker sir. There aren't a lot of brothers still rocking those, but they are absolutely classic. Great in the hot summer weather as well. Excellent list too.

LOVE this list! I also would like to add the addition(s) of a quality leather belt (black & brown)

I believe your list was 100% correct. The only thing I would have had it on was a pair of dumbbells. Quickly workout at the house, will always benefit you.
