Came for the.... chinos (I’m lying 🤥)... stayed for the reviews (as always). That kick on the street was everything. You’re, and I mean this in the best possible way, a clothing nerd and it’s a freaking blessing and a privilege to watch.

Drape is an often overlooked aspect that makes a pair of pants look ‘right’. Glad you made it a point to talk about it.

The Kavalier is the best men’s fashion YouTuber don’t @ me

I think you may need some more lights in your studio, at least on my computer I can't pick out any details when you're wearing dark clothing, particularly pants.

One big factor you made me realize after watching this review. Lulu is my first performance chino and you are correct, it had a life changing effect. Now my designer jeans felt like bondage all day. I have since been looking for a competitor and think this review has offered many that I never heard of. I don't just work in the office, I think I'm in a specialized position. Where I may go from a sales call to wearing a tool belt and than hit the gym on the way home. Lulu has allowed me to get all those tasks done very comfortably. However, they can snag when you around tools and that's generally an expensive snag. Going to check out some of these other brands. Great review!

Jon, you have one of the BEST menswear channels on YT. I value and trust your opinions.

[ReelissuesTV]

May I suggest adding “Most Breathable” category?

[jrbertot]

best Oxford button downs :) great vid!

[Nikiaf]

This video has some of the best B-roll I've ever seen.

The "care" segment was mind blowing! Garment care is something I worry/think about a lot. Maybe the number one reason I'm afraid to spring for the top shelf stuff is that I don't trust myself to take care of it

[paultowarnicki]

Great reviews and information. I appreciate that you included a listing of the brands, timestamps, and links. I'd like to see a review of anti-pickpocket pants and other items (backpacks, money-belts, etc).

All my questions were answered at 17:17 - 18:00. THANK YOU!!!

I think Prana seriously deserves a look. It seems like they're not worn much outside the high-fitness crowd, but for active people the brand is extremely reliable, comfortable, stretchy, quick drying, and breathable. I know a lot of men who only wear Prana pants because they are just so consistent in quality and they are perfect for so many activities.

[ayasserramirez]

Sticker shock definitely held me back from these. I do like that these are more durable and stretchy. I find myself gravitating towards more comfortable clothes, shoes etc. Thanks for making the vid and buying all those chinos for us 😊!

[laker]

This is when you are at your best. Great stuff! Comprehensive and thorough.

[EscobarStyle]

My 2 picks - BR and Woodies because once you recommended the inside flannel for warmth here in the NE, it was a MUST! Nice video Jon, thanks!

[systm]

Great video, Jon! I'm really loving these big guide videos. Especially looking forward to whenever the Tech Blazer guide will come out, interested in hearing your thoughts on the Kinetic Blazer from Ministry of Supply. Seems a lot more refined compared to the Going Places Blazer. Keep up the great work!

[Miamisme]

Outstanding video. I've been craving someone doing a video comparison on these brands and voila! Thank you.
