Never that…. https://www.toddsnyder.com/products/cashmere-full-zip-hoodie-heather-grey-1 I like the 500 dollar deck jacket better. But, all said the winter sale was a bust for outerwear for me this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I don't mind paying money for clothing that is going to hold up. It's almost all work clothes anyway. The hoodie was supposed to last 8 years or whatever. If I get 3 seasons out of it under the conditions I put my work clothes through, thats a win. I have a $70 Carhartt hoodie I'm beating down as we speak. It's in year two. I don't think the elastic is gonna make it to year 3. I'm still rockin those $100 pair of bravestar selvedge denim. They have holes in the knees but I could care less about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw YouTube vids about it being a supposed scam before I received the gift. Advertised as the best kitchen knife out of Japan with really neat packaging and brand story, but in reality it is a mass produced knife out of Pakistan or something. It’s the thought that counts on that present. I need to bust that out and give it a try. For the record, I am a huge fan of Victorinox (Swiss Army brand) and Dexter Russell for all kitchen and filleting purposes. I have been rocking CAT boots my last few cycles. Thought they would be pieces of shit, but they have actually held up well and are reasonably priced. I believe they are made by Wolverine (Wolverines I have had were good too). Of course they discontinued their most bad ass model….:idiots. Lots of my coworkers rock CAT boots. I've never tried them, have been wearing Redwings for like 15 years. I may be ready to move on however. My only beef with Redwings are they are very heavy, but the waterproof goretex boot is a great industrial work boot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cancelculttourist Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Dem franchise Boyz era I definitely rock some carhartt and north face but I ain't bout to buy some hermans or Gucci especially when the durability is less then that of the cheapest Walmart belt you can find. I had a Gucci belt and it tore in like a year. Given I'm rough on clothing but I can get way longer then that out of some cheap Walmart jaunt. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'm Redwing loyal, wouldn't fuck with anything not American (to include Canadian) made at this point. Maybe euro, though. (I think @Mercer rocks Asolos?) Been wearing Ariat pants for about 2 years now. They don't last forever, but they break in quick/easy and are cheap enough that ~8 months of wear and tear is a great value, imo. Plus I like cell phone pockets at the knee. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won’t stick with them since the discontinued their best looking boot IMO (seen below). I do like the Chelsea boots I’m currently using bc I can switch sandals to boot action quick. But the soles aren’t stitched on so probably won’t last very long. I have been wearing the same 2 pairs of Walmart $24 Dickies for the past couple of years. I bought 3 pairs and one pair unraveled super quick, but these other 2 pair have been super durable. I’m definitely not scoring any patriot points for my commie wardrobe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fuck with Ariat boots, got some cowboys with the rubber "off road" boot soles so they don't sound all loud in my office. Mostly for the summer during the work day when I'm going between working in the office and visiting construction sites. Still haven't rode a horse with them. Probably going to get the "Chelsea" style cowboy boots from them for next summer just because I can't bring myself to wear proper dress shoes. Still rock the Redwings though occasionally at home, mostly when I'm chopping fire wood, or doing any heavy work in the garage where I might drop something on my feet and need protection, or I just don't want to fuck up my regular boots. No more Asolos, I don't fuck with any other hiking/light shit and only rock the Han Wag boots now. Hand made in Germany, they're pricey but god damn are they the best boots ever made. Modern tech, but that old school hand crafted tradition from zie Germans. They're about twice as much as Asolos, but 4x better. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some Ariat cowboy style work boots that were decent and have a pair of Twisted X now, but the sole tread on the Twisted X is pretty lame. I think they have fixed that on their current offerings though. I’m feeling too lazy for pulling on cowboy and lacing laces lately. Chelsea style look like regular boots when your pants legs are covering the ankles. Some times they creep up and the back pull tab shows, and you may get some funny looks. Fuk em tho.

I'd def find a way to try them on & size them locally. Zero break in like classic timbs, but they feel like a real boot & not sneakers. Everyone else has the white sole like that style, the Redwings like that are actually really dope. Only Han has the black sole availiable for that extra flex though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had some times when I take mine off after wearing them all day and then have to put them back on and they end up being a pain in the ass. Maybe my feet swell or some shit? Last time I wore mine that happened and I could not get them back on and got really annoyed with them and gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
