It's no mystery that your channel has had such success. Not only is the subject matter great but you have fantastic humor and personality. I love when you drop a new video because I don't know anyone in real life to discuss this stuff with, and watching your vids feels like hanging out with friends
Only 5 jackets! Oh man, that would be so hard for me, too. Even though my collection isn’t as premium as yours, I have quite a few that I love. I think my list would be… Brave Star Onyx Sherpa, Iron & Resin Rambler, Schott 370 Duke, Schott P637 Storm, and… ugh. Probably Schott 530 racer just because it’s so versatile. Maybe Taylor Stitch boss duck Workhorse.
I would have a variety more like 7-8 cause I love Levi’s denim jackets and the various styles, also that I love denim shirts as well, also that I’m guilty of always wearing a denim jacket even when it’s hot and I love the Levi’s corduroy jackets and the work jackets they make as well
Wow. That was rugged. Your father and I were on the same page years ago. I have a Mac Cruiser from 1975 in Bufalo plaid in size 38 which I can't wear because I'm old and not a 38 anymore. So I have another in 40 which I can wear from the early 90s. Your vids keep old guys like me in tune with what's in and what's out. Great stuff.
Jesus Christ loves you brother. He died for us all. All you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and repent from your sins and He will save you.
All I have to say is wow, those are incredible looking jackets. Coming from someone which most expensive jacket is a Barbour Bedale, the quality of those jackets can really be seen through the screen. Opened my eyes to various brands. Thanks!
If I only had 5 jackets. Since I moved to Florida all of my great winter stuff just hangs in the closet, I am tempted to get a place in NC just to have some winter weather to visit for part of the winter and of course to get out of the sweltering summers.
I have three of those L C King jackets in blue that I rotate in winter , I warm up quickly and usually wear a long sleeve Henley underneath. There was a missing top end jacket from your rack that you reviewed years ago said it was a grail piece that you always wanted .
We definitely have got to do a Work Jacket one as well. As a fellow Blue collar guy with a jacket "problem" I too am going through my wardrobe and getting rid of alot and I need your inspiration. Plus I'm trying to get down to 4 jackets TOTAL between work and casual
I saw the cruiser coming. Even if it wasn't an heirloom, you gotta have a good wool piece especially a cruiser or hunting coat in a plaid. I actually have 3 different wool cruiser / hunting coats in red and black buffalo check and my favorite in green and black buffalo check. Wool jackets are definitely my favorite.
I really need to shave my wardrobe down to only five jackets. The same could be said of my mass of tee shirts, sweaters, hell, everything. Good for you for actually going through with it, Carl. I’m not sure I could, especially with so many pieces of that quality.
Hey Carl, the thing you mentioned about jackets that have excess fabric for moving is known as an action back. This was originally something developed for sports coats for hunting purposes. They're now a rarity as most companies don't want to pay for the extra material cost unless they have to.
Cool. I've been decluttering as well. Only keeping the stuff that really makes me feel lika a million bucks. I don't limit myself to a certain number of pieces but I'm selling everything that isn't perfect or near perfect. If the sleeves are a tad bit short or smth it's going. If I don't wear it much, eventho it might be a super cool piece, it's going. It's kinda heartbreaking but also a nice process.
as far as jackets, i just have a few basic jackets & hoodies & such, but this one dark-grey flannel of mine is one i love to wear any time it's not a million degrees out. makes me feel awesome. i'd love to get to a place where i've Only 5 Jackets
Folsom rugged twill cruiser looks nice. American trench has a similar twill jacket called the landing jacket in that same vibrant red color that I think looks outstanding. Only 5 jackets
I bought a blue ranchwear blanket lined denim chorecoat from boot barn for $100. So far I've been impressed. I rotate it with my carhart blanket lined shirt-jacket. For the price the details are good.
I don’t think I could ever have only 5 jackets, but my top 3 right now are a schott moto jacket, a Tellason coverall jacket, and a vintage made in Italy cashmere long overcoat.
Carl...you need to get wider/broader hangers for a few of your pieces. The denim jacket for one. The hanger is causing that hump at the shoulder. Believe it or not if that sat there for 6 months it would be hard to reverse. Same thing with your heavy coats. The b3 bomber hanger is also changing the jackets shape. PS i also purged but i only could get down to 6 jackets and 3 coats. Its tough because in 4 seasons climates you need more.
I’d like to give a shout out to heat straps (I have nothing from them but want something and will pull the trigger eventually), Railcar fine goods and of course Weatherwool. These brands are really great for the classic workwear look in apparel.
@@CarlMurawski It was a great series you started, and in my opinion your channel is one of the only ones that talks about the working man's style both on and off the job. It's all still relevant, and we the viewers enjoy being able to see a working man's insight on the items you cover, aswell as your opinion on them. Keep up the great work Carl.
Mine would be my carhartt fr insulated jackets (any)I own several thoe and my high vis refrgiwear extreme with my milwaulkee hoodie.dont like to be cold and since I work out side it’s gets cold in winter here in Baltimore!
Shocked to see the Field’s leather jacket go! Having watched your video on how you custom ordered it, too many times, and almost ordered one myself. I wish you had gone into more on why you want to sell it. You said you wear it but what is it, apart from already having the other Fields jacket, that makes you suddenly want to sell it? The fit? The style? Cheers for an awesome channel 🙌
I like jackets and don't have nearly the collection you have (had). I think I could go to Only 5 Jackets pretty easily, though it would be sad to get rid of a couple...and I'd definitely cheat and put my Columbia polyfill and rain shells back together as one piece (how I bought it) to get a two-for-one.
Yeah that's the annoying thing about higher priced brands. They seem to not put much thought into mobility, I have ONE jacket that has a bi swing back, from iron and resin. Only got like three pairs of pants that have a gusseted crotch and articulated knees.
I feel your pain with the majority of denim jackets. I am always filled with optimism and excitement until the reality of when they are donned. Only five jackets………. I wish😊
As I just pulled the trigger on the Satchel & Page 🤣 Did you not wear it mainly because of the sleeves? Love your content, man. Like others have said, I purchased the S&P BECAUSE of your review from 4 years ago.
I would love to have to whittle it down to only 5 jackets! I’ve only got 2 jackets, a casual jacket and a work jacket. I definitely want to build up my collection.
Only 5 jackets, I only have two both because of this channel! The Patagonia work jacket and the HeatStraps chief coat with the leather collar from Nicks
One for work summer. One for work winter. One for special summer events (dates.) One for special winter events ( dates.) Done. Four coats, complete coverage. 🍺👍 Cheers!
I love a good jacket, and like yourself I have way too many. It's just too easy because there are so many cool jackets out there. Every time I start groping one, the wife says the same thing......"You already have too many jackets!!!" SMH. The struggle is real my friend. If only I could get my collection down to only 5 jackets. I just cant see it right now. Just not ready to let go yet. All the best
I just bought a Filson waxed cruiser. If you ever fly into or out of SeaTac beware of the Folsom store in the N terminal. I don’t think I’ll be allowed in that terminal unchaperoned anymore. But now I have only 5 jackets. Also speaking of jackets. Have yiu ever reviewed jackets from Coronado leather? I suspect the quality is iffy but since your true classic video I’ve seen nothing but ads for these jackets. If you review them perhaps you can scare them off too 😊
After watching this, I got to thinking of the one jacket I didn't get and I really wish I had. The Patriot from the colab between Heat Straps and Nicks. Ironically when they first released it I just didn't like it. Then I saw another picture which made me completely change my mind and I was to late poof it was gone with a quickness.
Only 5 jackets. I could really use the funds for some high quality clothing. That looked tough to do. You're a good man, I'm not sure I could get rid of all those really nice jackets. Love your content Carl!
I don't think I could do Only 5 Jackets right now. I do have probably 8, so I can probably let it linger for a bit longer. That being said, the 5 you picked are awesome! Especially the Field Leathers one. I love the leather on that jacket, but it's just not cold enough in California to wear it.
Loving this series, workwear is meant to be worn and you can only wear it so much if you got many jackets. Anyway, solid rotation Glad you only kept 5 jackets
Only 5 jackets? Maybe consider doing a collaboration with Bedo Leatherworks to repair the Satchel and Page jacket. 5 is so arbitrary. You seem to really like that shinki horsehide. 😈 Maybe 6 is a better number.
Only 5 Jackets, for sure something I have been putting off as well. I have 2 or 3 i really actually wear and 4 or 5 more that I occasionally wear because I like them and make an excuse to wear. The rest are pretty much closet decorations that I haven’t parted with.
I would like to see an update to this video, Carl. Are you happy with your decisions 9 months later? Have you acquired more jackets or have you been able to keep your collection strictly to these 5? Have your 5 jackets been able to fulfill your expectations when it comes to the variety of occasions in your life?
Really thought you were going to stretch it to 6 when your dad's wool came up. I've had to do this kind of culling many times before(military moves) so I relate to the feel. luck bro. -Only 5 jackets-
I came to the video knowing full well you weren't going to sell the mackinaw cruiser of course lol. Carl, for years I always wanted a mackinaw cruiser my self, and half a year ago I finally won one for really cheap! Question, do you also put these wool jackets into a moth proof garment bags?
Right now I have only 5 jackets. To be honestly I think I’m going to be swapping some out (more realistically adding more) and I think that Field Leathers jacket needs to be part of my wardrobe
