Carhartt 100%

Carhartt is my go to. I can't seem to wear them out!

That’s literally what this sub and the entirety of Reddit is here for

Appears to be Weather Wool.

American Giant makes really nice ones.

American Giant - great quality. I've owned (own) several over the years and their hoodies give me around 10 years before the cuffs will fray. And I'm pretty hard on my gear and every-day wear. Plus they're made in the USA.

I own the Stormy Kromer wool mackinaw that goes for ~$330. It is excellent. Works in a variety of conditions. Just for the hell of it I dunked it in water for five minutes and then wore it for an hour in 5 degree Fahrenheit weather with only a thin base layer underneath. I didn’t get cold. Pure wool does have the type of temperature range that weatherwool describes. If you’re willing to go with a wool/synthetic blend, Duluth Trading makes stuff for an even better price.

All this being said, I am currently sewing a jacket from weatherwool’s fabric. The fabric blows the mackinaw wool out of the water. It’s soft enough to be against my sensitive skin without a base layer. I guarantee you that the people bashing the weatherwool‘s price have never felt the fabric in their hands. The people with whom I’ve shared the fabric thought it was a soft cotton fleece.

I am also sewing the jacket with the construction methods used by wearherwool. It’s a PITA. Slotted buttons, heavily reinforced seams, bonded nylon thread, no cotton whatsoever, etc. Its very labor intensive to build. I have a hard time believing that weatherwool’s prices allow them to earn a significant net margin.

TL;DR: the wearherwool will only be worth it to you if you want the absolute best wool fabric garment. But the people bashing the price have zero experience with the product.

Absolutely worth it. Will last 2 lifetimes. Biggest mistake I ever made was selling mine when times were hard. I regret it every day.

Mehaz Professional 660. It has a nail catcher with a file on the bottom as well. I’ve had mine for 8 years now and is still extremely sharp and have had zero issues. The quality was immediately noticeable when I bought it compared to the cheaper clippers I’ve had in the past.

I can get a few years out of Crocs Athens but sometimes there is construction adhesive visible.

Despite cash flow issues I will periodically panic and invest in more leftover and used due to Crocs deciding not to make them. They are the flip cut correctly for my feet.

That ship has basically sailed on Filson

Camber is great. Find them on All USA Clothing. Small company in a small town, doing things the same way they have since their founding in the 70s. They refuse to cut quality to increase production so depending on what you order it may be a few months.

Eddie Bauer signature crewnecks/hoodies are super thick and comfortable. I’ve only had mine for a few years though. American giant is another good brand

Safety razors come in different angles, I use a Karve with their open comb E gap, which shaves way closer than say a Merkur 34C.

Filson is super pricey but can usually be passed down from generation to generation.

If there was one that would fit a female's figure also??? 👀 I've been wearing men's clothes to work for the past decade, but I'm not box shaped. Just buy men's clothes because that is what will last longer than a week and be long enough to cover up my butt. I've been wearing Gildan t-shirts, and Hanes hoodies, better if I can find ones made in the US from the thrift store, because they're not anymore. American Apparel built solid t-shirts when they were still made in the US, but they're also not anymore, so they have to be a lucky find at the thrift store. Would be nice to know a brand still making quality apparel that doesn't have to be purchased secondhand.

Camber is where it’s at. What country are you in?

I don’t know what country you’re in but RM Williams in AUS makes some great ones (bit of a national treasure company)

I think Fjallraven makes some really good/last forever knits but don’t know if that suits the hoodies and crew style?

Other then that I really rate Uniqlo, I bought a decent front loader and some good quality detergents a few years ago and looked after Uniqlo gear is an underrated choice

Strand bamboo is harder than Brazilian Cherry

This. I didn't think of trying this route. Thanks for the idea.

What are some decent wool jackets/coats that don't require a loan to get. Is Woolrich still a buy it for life brand?

It says that till you pick a size. Lol

His review is what had me thinking about getting it. I like the items he reviews, but they are generally very high priced "work wear"

Never thought of it that way. Makes sense.
