Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

I got the Yukon Extremes Full Swing a few weeks ago in January. It is stiff, but very free feeling and very warm. A 30 minute walk at 30f, I'm sweating by the time I get to work. I have to open my coat and let the 20 degree wind cool me down. I'm not heavy and usually I have good temp control, but the insulation is awesome. If you value movement, get a full swing.

The is easily the best and most informative video on Carhartt that I've seen. Thanks so much for providing all this info, New subscriber!

In 1992 I bought Carhartt insulated overalls and an Carhartt insulated jacket with the faux fur on the removable hood. Used every winter since then on survey crew and soil testing for land development and road projects. Still going strong and keeping me warm. Washed 2 times. One of the Surveyors told me the stitching falls apart when you use washing machine. Instead, air dry the overalls and jacket, then get after the dirt with a stiff brush. After soil testing, I would hose off the gear with the hose in the yard then air dry.

Pile acrylic was originally for marine use. You'd stay warm even when wet and North European companies like Helly Hansen built a reputation on practical gear for deep sea fishermen, lifeboat crews etc. The pile is breathable because it's air permeable, and you'd wear a waterproof layer over it. The reality is you'd still get wet but the pile fleece would keep you warm & dry out quickly. Obviously Patagonia launched their own pile fleece product for outdoors adventurers in the 70s but it was based on the humble (and cheap) marine pile. European hikers & mountaineers sometimes call "pertex & pile" a "wetsuit" because the idea is to shield you from the wind and keep you warm when wet, rather than stop you getting wet in the first place. Dampness is inevitable under some conditions because waterproof membranes aren't breathable enough so your own sweat makes them damp or because at sea you're guaranteed to get a bit wet, but still need to keep body heat to avoid hypothermia. The humble pile fleece has saved many lives over the years. It's one of the great clothing inventions of the 20th century.

Snow cat mechanic. Old model extreme Bibs are my go to. Baffin Derrick is my field boot. I work over 10, 000 elevation and temps are usually anywhere from -10 to 20

In Europe (Germany) those big pockets on the back are traditionally on hunting jackets. Today they are mostly used for maps, even thermoses and stuff like that, but we still call it "Niederwildtasche" which translated means "small game pocket". Way back when only the nobility was allowed to hunt, people did it secretly, mainly on small game and used thosed pockets on the back to hide the shot game and bring it back home.

Best thing I ever purchased jacket wise was the carhartt Sherpa lined vest I needed a carhartt jacket I could wear all day with the free movement off my arms and not have to take it off to drive

Carl, you should check out the Corcoran 1500 or 1510 jump boots. Absolutely solid, built like tanks, and fly under the radar constantly despite their low price point.

[c.w.]

For short durations, I might store a clipboard, or plans in that big seat pocket; in the rain or snow perhaps. Another thought - the parka can work as a snowboarding jacket if you are double tasking your outerwear.

[sharobiwon]

Great video man, thanks for making this! Do the new coveralls have any inside pockets? Feel that's critical for phone to stay near body heat!

I work at a farm and I bought the extreme coat for $170 yeah little pricy but it's what you would expect out of Carhartt.Tough restricts movement a little but super warm with a Carhartt Rain Defender hoodie underneath.

[Theredeemedchild]

I have that carhartt jacket. I also have a Duluth whale back parka. The Duluth is superior at movement and warmth. It doesn't seem like it would be as tough as the carhartt. But, its 200 so I don't use it as a work jacket, I just wear it when it's in the teens and windy. If its between 15 and 30 the carhartt comes out. And any jacket will do above 30.

Best coat for the money there is, most are cheaply built junk for more money, carhartt is really stepping up, better hope it's real cold or you'll be roasting, the shell of it is the best part.

[slimyfeet]

YOU DID IT ! Congratulations!!!! Worlds best cup of coffee.

[mm]

OOOF!! I'm sold on the insulated parka. Will be wearing the Carhartt parka with their heavy duty crew neck sweater

[barrell]

hey! for a base layer give the Airblaster ninja suit a try, you wont get better for movablity and warmth particualy if you try the Marina one . truely incredible

I've been considering buying this stuff. I'm coming from Northern New York and need some snow gear that will last sometime and adequately address the conditions I undergo. Mostly ice fishing and framing in the cold. Would you recommend?

I once worked in 40 below 0 Fahrenheit and like 40 mile an hour wind. I assure you if you put on enough of the right stuff you wont even feel the cold. Wed lay down in snowbanks and fall asleep cause we were in it like 12 hours a day with 1 break to eat frozen sandwiches 🤣

I had long johns 2 facemasks, 1 thin one thick, 2 shitts, a hoodie, carhart coveralls a carhart jacket. Multiple hats, multiple gloves and goggles. Like and i was decently mobile.

Basically just keep adding layers and you will hit a point where youd need to be in antarctica to get cold. It was also construction so i was moving. But like you lay down in snow you could fall asleep. I was waterproof and the snow blocked the wind. We were like a mile from heat so going inside was basically not an option.

And the reason you do construction in winter is rich people lol. They will pay you 5x to do it in winter cause rich people dont care. Alot of people wait and call when its too late. Then offer tons to do it in the snow.
