I say it all the time, The Wrangler 13MWZ are the best-fitting, most affordable jeans on the market. There's a reason I have over 15 videos on this specific model of denim jeans alone: What are some alternatives to the 13MWZ? Now, the 936DEN slim fit is a

Overalls, also called bibs, are pretty useful. They keep you clean from debris while maintaining your clothing underneath, preventing abrasion and staining. They can also look pretty good, if they're your style. These ones are from Whale Wish, a company I affiliated with because I liked their stuff

Much like the Iron Ranger, the Pecos roper boots have a long history (100+ years vs 65-ish, anyway). Still sold on the Red Wing Shoes website today, these boots are part of their work line, which features a poron insole instead of the traditional leather you'd find in

Slip on/pull on boots are probably the trickiest for most people to size for their feet. Having no laces to cinch the boots tighter, they feel different when you walk in them — and a lot of people think they've sized wrong when they have heel slip. If

When you see t-shirts that actually have a price tag on them, you might cringe a little. It's not the price of a Hanes tee that comes in a plastic bag, that's for sure. The thing is, you'll appreciate yourself a lot more when

Not necessarily a trucker jacket, but close enough in style to call it one: the M-159 jacket from Wrangler is one of their best items. In that beautiful 100% cotton broken twill material, the way Wranglers break in is just different. And you don't have to pay an

And it's inexpensive. I was going to use the word "cheap" there, but the stuff really isn't — it lasts, it's built decently, and it pretty much just does the job it's meant it. There's not much more you

No, I don't wear leather suspenders more often than belts, but I do tend to prefer how they feel and function when I'm doing active things. For instance bending over with a leather belt that's taut to your body tends to squeeze your guts.

The "how" on thrifting is actually super uncomplicated, but ultimately a little patience goes a long way when you're looking to buy something decent that's actually your size. I mostly recommend sites like eBay, Poshmark, Grailed, and Mercari — all of which I've

A pretty simple canvas jacket in olive green. It's an interesting jacket with a unique-looking collar. I like it. It's not a style they make in the UK, and I'm pretty sure they don't sell it anymore. But it's a

Leather jackets are probably the most expensive investment you're likely to make when it comes to clothing, and usually it's not an expense people want to pay. One of the better options is just thrifting a vintage jacket, or something slightly used (or for those that

I've owned a few things from Taylor Stitch over the years, and off the top of my head this is the only thing I have left — their Cash shirt in a washed indigo selvedge. Really nice denim, terrible button holes. I had to stitch them back together myself.
