As a fellow Sonoran desert dweller, I thought you'd be mentioning that as the reason you didn't wear your tan coat, lol. I don't travel much anymore, but it's always a challenge to travel to colder places since I just...don't have the clothes, and if I do, there's no guarantee it will fit/look as I want to anymore, a even a business setting can be a bit challenging to pack just because of that, I have business casual nailed down but in other scenarios I just have to assume I'll be cold (or wearing some layer underneath that hopefully no one sees). I've totally been guilty of buying good quality things just because they where on sale, even if they didn't fit just right, and guess what? I don't end up wearing them. On that same regard, I tend to hang on to things I once loved, because of nostalgia, but not because they really work on me anymore. A hand me down sweater from my dad or that sort of thing is fine and I'll keep it, but hanging on to that old slim Banana Repulic polo just because it had wonderful fabric and it fit you when you where too thin, but no longer fit you properly anymore? Yeah no reason to keep the latter one. It took me getting back into shape and realizing it still didn't fit in it right to let it go, and the same was true of many other items I should have donated years ago. And of course there was my "I don't care about how I look era it's all a scam" era I'd....I'd like to have a word with myself. And while I feel comfortable in base ball caps, any other hat I also feel very out of place with, but like you, if I'm on the beach and running after my kids, I'll wear some hat, even if I'm not totally sold on the look.

Although I owned a couple sports jackets, I had never had a real suit until I was in my mid 50s. Unfortunately, I was once told that “every man needs a black suit” so that’s what I bought. It was cheap and didn’t fit very well. I wore it a handful of times. As I learned more about style I learned that a black suit is way too limited in usage. Several months ago I found a very nice mid-grey Brooks Brothers suit for a great price at one of their outlet stores. It fit well and I had my tailor fine-tune it. It looks great, I feel good wearing it, and I look forward to opportunities to wear it. I just donated the black suit last week.

The heel toplift on the indies looks too high. I bet the previous owner had them redone. I had the toplifts on my indies redone and the cobbler put another toplift on the old one. I specifically asked for it to be replaced. long story short, the extra rise of the heel made the heel uncomfortable to walk in because of the medial side of the hell is longer than the lateral. Took mine to another cobbler who does quite a bit of work on aldens, Was this what you were experiencing with the indies?

Plenty of clothes from factory outlets... especially sweaters... Didn't layer well enough, had to let go... A very expensive warm, thick, big and bulky Michael Kors jacket (which looked good, was very warm and waterproof)... And a pair of beautiful Thursday boots... Yes I live in New England winters, but no they don't work well because you will use it only for a few days... It might seem way more expensive (which it is in the beginning) and impractical (too many clothes) to layer... But yes, that is still the way to go if you would like some peace of mind and a capsule/modular wardrobe. Rules: 1. Stick to a uniform (for me its full sleeve tees with jeans/chinos/joggers) 2. Layer so you use most of what you have 3. Do not buy a piece which is not useful for more than one occasion (eg. dark wash jeans, certain chino pants can be dressed up or down, cross trainer shoes can be used both for running and the gym, shoes with leather uppers for inclement whether and dress up/down, certain tees can be used for lounging, gym, dressier occasions etc.)

A lot of people here are saying you look great in a hat (and I agree) - but subjectively, if /you/ don't like the way you look in a hat, that's all that matters! And you're dead-on with so many of these points, especially the "hell yeah vs. no" point. I've spent way too much money on things that were just "ok" rather than "hell yeah" and it ends up being the biggest waste.

My favorite part about menswear KZitem channels is how much I can learn from them. Without you guys, I would be making WAY too many mistakes, even more than I already do! Such as: 1. Don't buy footwear that doesn't fit. I've bought Parkhurst boots 1/2 a size too small and shed a tear when I forced myself to sell them. Too bad, because they were freaking awesome. 2. Wear clothing that suits your personality and environment. I wish I could pull off a Drake's look, with the OCBD, shetland, and wool blazer, but California is just too damn hot. Also, I'm a college student! I don't have time to put all of that on! It's a shame.

First thing that you absolutely need to have is a great tailor (not just an ordinary or even a 'good' tailor)...(also very hard to find !)...once you are lucky enough to find one, this allows you to even buy unique used clothes that don't quite fit exactly right and have your tailor perform total magic on them. This includes from simple things like adjusting collars, trimming waist, shortening pants and sleeves, etc. to more complicated tailoring such as tailoring shoulders or shortening sleeves at the shoulder and re-cutting pants leg widths. Depending on what you have done this can run a bit expensive but in the end it is 100% worth the tailoring cost to have clothes that you really like, fit perfectly and you will wear often and forever but could not deal with otherwise. Even buying new clothes off the rack you will be surprised how much better a great tailor can make them look.

I made a lot of similar mistakes too. Had to learn that fit is king. I’m short with a wiry frame so that’s probably a reason why. I started off with skinny jeans too - from J brands to amiri, purple brand, and ksubi. Found it too childish and have been only wearing bootcuts/flares the past few years. I even have a pair of naked and famous groovy guy jeans in my wishlist to scratch the raw selvedge denim itch lol. Although I like my designer glasses because I hate wearing glasses in general, so spending a bunch on a pair makes me put them on and I use my Gucci sunglasses every day in the California sun. An alpha industries slim fit bomber was my first big jacket purchase in high school with my first job and I still wear it to this day, would like to buy a short length parka from them too. I have a pair of Margiela replica gats that I’ve worn the past few years and I have no regrets on those, one of my favorite designer sneakers of all time. And yes, I believe my watches will always look their best with the OG strap/bracelet

I bought it because of how plain it was, I didn’t want to have a fancy looking watch to wear with a casual outfit. It’s a good watch and does a lot for the price but it’s way too plain, I stopped wearing it because it didn’t do anything for me. I learned to not create a roadmap to having a watch collection, if it fits your wrist and looks great just wear it with what you feel comfortable in.

For these similar reasons are why I’m actually trying to ease out of the whole fashion fads game and just wear things that are timeless, look good and will never go out of style. Sure they might not be “on trend” but I’ve found that some elements of the rugged/heritage style are where I gravitate towards more now. I’m just tired of wasting time and money on things that are just popular now (like the baggy/90s) trend or hype beast streetwear stuff that won’t be in a few years (or at least shouldn’t be in my opinion). I liked what the “old money aesthetic” had to offer here in recent years but in my demographic where I live it honestly just looks like you’re wearing a costume but I appreciate the timeless aspect which is where I’m going to stay when it comes to fashion especially as I get over 30.

I completely understand the slim/skinny fit pants condundrum circa. 2012. I went from regular fit to slim and thought 'hey, this looks great on my skinny legs!'....from there it devolved to wearing skinny pants. After suffering for a decade, I've jettisoned all the skinnies and most of the slims, and gone back to regular. And boy, regular sure looks and feels great on my still skinny legs. I don't really regret that phase, but looking back I could have (and probably should have) just stuck with regular (not baggy) pants.

Agreed. Fit matter but if you have to put extra for small or easy alterations then go for it. Obviously, I suggest to buy the item no full price but getting a good deal as one needs to add something for the tailor. 🤔🤔. Last year and this year , I am investing a lot in small alterations as nobody told me ( sure , they always say I dress/ clean well) my pants to long ( 32/32 when I am 32/30) , blazers 40R or 40S ( watch the length) except the 40R need to short the sleeves for one to one 1/4 inch. I usually give away some items like shirt , shorts, boots and Jackets I barely use now. Regrets, waste of money but definitely a good life lesson. It is all about fit and being comfortable.

Sold them for as much as I got them. Thank you for yet another video! (Same feeling here when wearing hats)

Yeah, when you become a dad, everything is either 110% yes, or no. No time for the maybe stuff in life.

Hats are hard and take more legwork than people think. I don’t have a nice flow like you and have been receding since my early 20s, (I now buzz it all down) and it took me awhile to find hat styles I can pull off. Dad caps, five panels, small or medium rise, and smaller snap backs from certain brands work for me. Others don’t, and I can’t pull off high rise crowns or large bills at all. I don’t have a huge head, and they engulf me. The trial and error isn’t ideal, but once you nail the fit and style some brands really shine. Seager have been my go-to lately!

This is all very relatable. I've had so many similar regrets, including two pairs of Viberg boots that eventually made me swear off heritage boots altogether because they're all incredibly uncomfortable (shoe technology has actually made some advances in comfort since the beloved Goodyear welt). I also can't wear hats, and find raw denim uncomfortable. I have two pairs that I'm still trying to break in. That said, you do look really good in those jeans if you ever feel like taking another crack at breaking them lol.

Bro I still remember your German Army Trainers video hahaha. As for me, I’ve made almost every mistake on your list, including the watch strap silliness. I need to give away clothes and shoes because selling stuff gives me stress and I feel it’s a hassle *sigh*

I suspect you don't like the way you look in caps because they run too big for your head? That's my problem. But as a bald man, they can be absolutely essential for sun protection. Have you tried Varsity Headwear? They run smaller overall in size, including the bill. They also use higher end material, which I prefer.

Great video. “When considering a purchase it should either be a hell yes or a no”. Going to adopt this mindset going forward. Thanks for sharing!

Been there done that. Always thought it was my fault. But I read or heard once that every brand has a real person who is used for measurements and other sizes are extrapolated from this person. If you have a similar physique you are in luck. If not things will not quite fit. Is this true?

Great insight! My regrets have been: dark denim, expensive sneakers and expensive meh shirts. I live in Central Texas. It’s hot as hell so dark denim rarely works. For me, it has to be light colored, light weight denim. Then there’s the expensive Common Projects I bought. Again, too hot to wear because of the leather. Might as well just wear boots. Lastly, expensive shirts from the usual popular retailers. Bought several because they looked good on the models but still had to take them to the tailor to accommodate my slender long frame. It’s all crap and the only things I care about now are luxury watches and luxury scents. If I’m buying any clothes, it needs to be a hell yes.

I don’t know why, but chinos just don’t work for me. I’ve wasted way too much money trying to find the one perfect color or fit but it always looks off (to me). I think it’s because I like both goodyear welted leather shoes and high quality shirts and sweaters, and a pair of slightly worn jeans just works wonders to balance the dressier stuff out. Also, getting stains off of chinos is nigh impossible.

Loafers. I wanted to like them. They're supposed to be great with shorts, or with linen pants in the summer. Except I hate how I look in them. It seems like I'm trying too hard. I donated them.
