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. - Навчання та стиль
These sold out in under 15 minutes! Congratulations to everyone who got a pair.
Very nice Carl , I know I can't afford them as I'm retired and just getting by OK. Some lucky person is going to have a pair of "next level" boots !!
I've said it before , I cannot understand why you do not have many more subscribed to your channel ??! The work you put into every video is done very good.
Thank you so much! Maybe one day more people will find my channel, but for now I enjoy being able to chat with folks like you!
@@CarlMurawski Thanks Carl , BTW you being 40yo , you're the same age as my oldest son....hahaha!
Those boots are top notch construction and the fact that so much work has been put into making those masterpieces amazes me. The boots reflect the personality of the maker and these ones scream " perfectionist" to me.
Those boots look amazing and very high end, congratulations on the collaboration, I’m sure you enjoyed the experience. Great that you got to do this 👏
Thanks so much!
Wonderful, awesome, outstanding. The color is just class. Everything is class about these boots
Those are the Singer Porsche of boots. Pure eye candy and extremely functional!
I'm so glad I watched your video just to learn about the creosote man the perfection and the rarity it's like buying a painting off a young artist for cheap and in years to come be extremely valuable right in our time a living person
Great stuff man love the review awesome close ups as usual these boots are sick !!!
I appreciate it!
Wearing a pair of LEATHER boots gives you a sense of pride,my cup would runneth over wearing these olive greens.Nice one!
Well said man!
Absolutely stunning. I am currently preparing to reach out to get on his waiting list for the Kreosote 7! It will hopefully be a retirement gift to myself!! Just hope I’m not too old when they finally arrive
I was looking for a pair of green boots. Great timing!
Great looking last and all round a beautiful and unique boot
Thank you so much sir! I know green make its way into Jim Greens as well!!!
These boots are perfect!
BEST. CHANNEL. ON. UA-cam.
Nice video Carl! I retired too soon. These would be sweet to wear. Good luck with the order placements!
Hahaha, thank you sir!
Those look fly AF ✨🔥
Hell yeah!
I am back watching this video. Anxiously waiting for my turn when my pair of these go into production.
Now this is something I really like
Im glad to hear that! The design is less polarizing than the Nail Shank, but the color will either make it or break it for people.
I fell in love with the K7's when I first saw them. I can't even remember how I came across his IG / website. I think it was when I was poking around for some selvedge denim and somehow came across his page. I ordered a pair back in July 2021, I believe, and it was a 24 month turn around time when I ordered. The classic look of the boot just really looks good in regards to the silhouette. I almost ordered the Nineteen36 because I like the rough out and then I was going to go with a rough out version of the K7's but then I started appreciating the grain side or whatever the opposite of rough out is called. The color that I think we are going to go with is going to be like the originals, but instead of blue, it'll be with a maroon / burgundy color like the oneundertakers. I'm really excited to see how they turn out! These green ones turned out great! Gabbard is very easy and friendly to talk to over the phone and was very helpful in the whole process. I think the wait time now is around 36 months and prices have went up since then. I wouldn't mind a pair of the nail shanks as well, but that'll have to be in the future. Thanks for sharing!
BEAUTIFUL BOOTS.
So good
Beautiful boots Carl
Thank you so much!
I like that dry ice effect you got going on there, very snazzy.
very nice boots, for the price they look exactly how I would expect. definitely one of a kind, come on powerball!!
Agreed!
That emerald color is killer!
Thank you!!!
Incredible intro!
Hahaha thanks man, it was a fun excuse to play with some dry ice!
Hey I have a boot question? I'm a lineman and I use to wear hoffman dri line boots. I stopped wearing them because of the weight and comfort. About 9 years ago I switched to mountaineering boots like lowa gtx and kenetreck and scarpa. This style of boot is so comfortable but don't last but 2 years at most in my trade. What boot would you recommend thats maybe a little lighter and comfortable without a logger or lineman heel but still a decent heel to catch my hooks and that I'll have for 5 or 6 years +? Thanks!
They look amazing. I'm a little surprised by the rounded toe I didn't think that was his style.
Yeah, he's known for that squared off look. This is bit of a more traditional design in a unique leather.
@@CarlMurawski Its an amazing boot
I got the email at 12:01 (09:01 Pacific) and already sold out! I knew they would move fast, but dayuuummm!!!
Damn.. Carl… Olive Drab (USMC LINGO JAJAJAJA). These are some sexy ass boots and the way your describe them just make all of us want to get them. Don’t think i could get these because i am either in the wood-shop or out riding all day and would not want to ruin them lol. But maybe ill get in line ; just to have a handmade pair, why not.. we work hard for a reason, and that reason it to enjoy the fruit of our labors - in this case as you say “to let them accumulate scratches/scuffs as good boots should”. Great way to set this up for people to signup. Great job on your videos and content, keep up the good work.
Hi Carl, thanks for all the videos. Quick question, I’m trying to find a USA made men’s denim jean, what do you suggest? They would be for work, casual, and going out in evening (date night with wife). I know that is three different jeans. What are your thought and options? Thanks ahead of time and keep the videos coming.
Definitely check out Bravestar, Tellason, and Ginew.
Yeah, they're beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Hi Carl. They are so beautiful and perfect that I would be scared to wear them 😂😂 or maybe- one day? Who knows?
What you offer to him is an audience to reach and more people to sell to
Doesn't really need it at this point though, wait time is over 2 years for a pair of boots
Very true. Gabbard is probably overwhelmed as it is, and this lumps seven more orders on his plate.
That into with the smoke lol. As of today 042624 wait time is 42 months
love the boot !you should if possible go to japan and white cloud ,and why not with mr creosote him self ! i would love to watch that ! I know ,the virus and everything but that would be so cool.
That WOULD be cool! Maybe someday....
Do a review of your White's smoke jumpers
I ordered my pair of nail shank boots 6 months ago, only 18 more months away!
Great things come to those who wait! I think its important to remember that what we love about boots like these is also why they require that wait time.
Damn you. Damn you. Damn you. I want these!!!
I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry!
Woohoo!!
Yeah buddy!!! Great profile pic too- my type of dude!
@@CarlMurawski thank you sir! My Lucchese giant gators. Just one of the many gems in my collection.
What about Role club boots doesn't he do it all by hand
Congrats.
Well thank you man!
I want some nice green boots so bad but the solovair ones are calling my name
So.... if you're subscribed to the newsletter.... is that the same as the email list he mentions at the end of this video?
If anyone could let me know if that is correct. I'd appreciate it
That is correct. Theres only one.
Has there been a wait time identified once they launch? Most of what I see on the site is over 2 years. Or will they go into production right away?
I would hope standard wait times apply. Not really fair to customers that have been waiting for years.
Standard wait time. Anyone who placed their orders before these will have them made first. It's only fair.
Got email at 12:02. Hit link and sold out 🤣. Such is life
Sweet 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Carl, several years ago I saw your video on Red Wing Iron Ranger boots. That convinced me to purchase a pair. Since then I’ve worn these boots almost everyday.
So my question is - how could these Krosote boots be all that much better than my IR’s?
Mostly it’s the fact that they’re bespoke and made to your feet. That’s probably the biggest difference. Aside from that they’re constructed using an entirely different technique being hand welted, which is only available in very high end footwear.
Len Mueller, you can also send or take your IR's to a shoe cobbler that can craft your boot in this logger style. Check out Wyatt and Sons You Tube channel, you will love how they transform some IR's....
what is the closest boot like that i can buy? I like the overall shape, other captoe shoes are bulbous not sleek.
Possibly a Corcoran Jump boot. I dont think you'll find green though, so you may have to go with some DIY.
this is still the best boots ever
Where them Wesco and Tanker pro vids be? The wait is killing me.
Coming in the next few weeks!
The nylon thread does bother me like maybe use waxed cotton thread made in the US that makes it even nicer or some natural strength. Oh can you please do a 1 year review of your ll bean boots please
We actually tried a few weird threads on some of the prototypes. Gabbard can speak to why some worked better than others, but I think the nylon was chosen in the interest of durability.
It'd be great if you review 16" boots
Those are some stompers! The tallest I have are 10"!
Hey Carl,
I think these boots are beautiful. I would love to get a pair.
With just 7 pairs I would like to you do a raffle instead of a random time.
Fair enough, but then we'd have to worry about people not completing their orders etc.
Any opinion on Drew's boots?
I’d love to try them!
They look the bollocks
Thank you sir! Any more plans for your channel??
@@CarlMurawski possibly walking the dogs and talking bollocks 🙂 it’s a segment I’m going to call walking and talking bollocks 🙂
Very impressed with the craftsmanship! Unfortunately I only love 95% of these boots...I know it's stupid but I think the size and shape of the heel make them look feminine.
Fair enough man, they're definitely not for everyone!
That's just, like, your opinion, man
@@methyldioxymethamps of course it is MY opinion...that is the only opinion I can give...
I agree brotha. It's extremely feminine. Maybe for short guys that want some height. But not a good look. I have over 200 pairs of high end boots and none with a heel like this.
Damn you really vaped all over that boot lol
Hahahaha it actually took me a while to learn that dry ice "smoke" falls rather than rise. Its crazy because you basically pour it out!
Old school shoemakers are known to get carpal tunnel syndrome from the amount of tunnel stitching they do by hand.
Wait, you're also a fan of Les Claypool (and thus presumably also Primus)?
Color me surprised but unsurprised.
Oh hell yeah man! Primus, Sausage, Duo De Twang, I'm a big fan of his stuff.
Too bad I can´t afford boots of that level :(
They're way out of most peoples price range dude. I totally get it. These are like the Bugatti of boots.
@@CarlMurawski yes they are, anyway I´m happy for you that you get to do these collabs.
Limited edition work boots? Are the numbered with an engraved placard?
These are in no way work boots. They may be inspired by vintage work boots, but that’s like saying the PT cruiser is a race car.
Price isn't that high like people are saying. Nobody says anything when somebody buys a bunch of pairs of Thursday's and Red Wings. They still aren't satisfied and then buy Grant Stone and Parkhurst.
True story. Theres a saying: its not cheap because its not cheap! One could argue that they're expensive, but for a reason.
I agree. Carl mentioned in a previous video that to make each pair of Kreosote boots, it takes approximately 50 man hours of one highly talented craftsman. So, with a ton of man hours per pair + high quality materials + equipment + shop costs, etc., it would be impossible to charge what many people would consider "reasonable." If you simply want a nice pair of functional boots, of course you can get them for far less. These boots are a special item for people who appreciate these things. Definitely not for everybody (but they are or me).
What’s your point about GS and Parkhurst? That they are a step up or still unsatisfactory? I was underwhelmed when I saw Thursday and RW for the first time in person.
@@albertoclonado Personal tastes mostly. They all have to be resoled eventually. I have Thursday Captain boots for 4 years and it’s still holding up. I got new heels. I will do a resole next season. I estimate another 4 years. I rotate other boots though. I have White’s, Red Wing, Wolverine and a bunch of others.
You know they're $$$$$$ when price isn't even hinted at.
At least $1.4K
Its like an expensive restaurant!
If you have to ask...
All of his boots now seem to be $1850.00... That's a bridge too far for me.
Mate, you weren't "humbled", you were "honored". They're opposites. A mea culpa is an example of being "humbled". Getting invited to be involved with something exclusive is to be "honored".
I found a pair at the flea market and I only paid 20 USD for them!
TRY
PETER NAPPU BOOTS
Fantastic craftsmanship but looks like the boots pioneer women wore...ie little house on the prairie. Not for everyone i guess
Lock Dr Fauci up!
OR, I'll just get the Chinese shoemakers to copy it, much cheaper, don't you think?
If your soul is okay with that.
@@CarlMurawski trust me my soul is not with 1400$
We're only gonna make 7 pairs, then charge you an arm and leg for then. Cool got it 👍 LOL. 🙄
They sold out in mere hours. Cool. Got it?
"Only 7 pairs ever made"
Who cares? Just go to a shoe maker and get a unique shoe that fits you perfectly for less.
Sure. Find me a shoemaker like Gabbard or Brian the Bootmaker in the US.
@@CarlMurawski I don't live in the US. I live in a country that has some of the best and most prestigious shoe makers in the world and they do a better job for less.
Smart americans go to europe for bespoke shoes. That is also my recommendation.
@@CarlMurawski D W Frommer, Francis Waplinger, Rob Bautista, Lisa Sorrell, Graham Ebner, etc. just to name a few.They also make their boots from start to finish.
This comment just show how short sighted you are; ignorant of your own country's talent. Heritage boot enthusiasts like you are so easily impressed by anything more than mediorcrity.
I think it's ugly 🤷
