I absolutely appreciate your channel. I feel like I'm having a BS session with a good friend who isn't afraid to give his honest opinion. Side note: Thank you for introducing me to Jim Green boots. I purchased the Razorback wedge sole, and these are just fantastic for a guy who has a back problem. Cheers, my friend
Bootlosophy has a good video covering a pair of Cordobes. He's got their service boot, but it's still very informative and gives a good overview of the brand. I look forward to your thoughts once you get yours Carl!
So glad to be part of the core! Love my coffee chats with Carl. It's so nice to have a down to earth guy like you help us find the good stuff. It's so cool that you are in the trades like me but also like the finer things as well. That's pretty rare around my neck of the woods. I believe if I bust ass like I do for my money, then I better get the best I can for it. I know you feel the same way. I really hope we do get to meet up one day and have a coffee for real. Thanks for another cool chat!✌️
I'm working on it bro! I'd love to do some kind of meetup for my 10th anniversary in 2026. It would be awesome to mix a car show, camping trip, trade show, and hangout in one.
These are by far my favorite videos of the week at this point. Carl, your personality really makes the difference. You’re like a news anchor without the bs.
Buy the Unmarked boot. You will not be disappointed. I have two pairs and have recently ordered a pair of sneakers. They fit my foot perfectly and are fantastic
I don’t really comment much but I always look forward to watching your videos every week. It’s funny how expensive the repo military clothing costs knowing I grew up in the 80s wearing the real deal coats and pants my dad gave me from his 22 years of service. I just beat that stuff up.
Mt wife has a pair of Cordobes riding boots on the way. Like the engineer, the price on them was unbelievable. Can't wait to see what you think when you get them.
I very much appreciate when you introduce and discuss things that are just beautifully made and cool even if they are not to your tastes or expensive, don't necessarily fit the model of practical/affordable (almost) workwear. That Dehen is very cool and I'm not likely to go for it because it doesn't fit my lifestyle---but it sure is cool. And those Unmarked boots, I share exactly your concern---why didn't they give us a bit more information? But dang, they look great and for a good price. Thanks for this channel, Carl. TBH, I prefer this place to your more "practical" reviews of affordable stuff---not that that isn't cool but this serves another, fun and interesting purpose.
Subscriber from Australia here. Corlection is my go to store for quality garments and accesories. I will difinitely tell them about your suggestion about the pictures.
With regard to why the Corlection model appears to be leaning one way, it's possible that it's just a quirk of that person's body. We all have asymmetry, and it's possible the model was born in such a way that they lean a certain way. Some legs are slightly longer with than the other, some folks have spinal issues, etc.
Re: Dehen raincoat. I can’t comment to that specifically but price being equal I would rather own a waxed jacket such as a Barbour over a comparable Arcteryx 9/10 times. While waxed cotton is not truly waterproof I’ve never had water seep into my Barbour except for when it clearly needed a rewaxing and in the time I have had my single Barbour I have retaped seams on two goretex jackets and DWR sprayed an additional one. $400 for a Barbour or $400 for an Arc’teryx with “budget” goretex - only one of them will be just as usable in 10 years. Dehen’s price is too high and I think it misses some important features (inner cuffs, lining, and adjustable fit) but I think it might be a more effective garment than you seem to credit it for.
Thank you for keeping everyone up to date with the new releases. I'm really looking forward to seeing a review on the your new boots. I'm hoping they turn out really good. The Ues looks awesome. As always keep up the great work Carl. GOD Bless you and yours.
I usually prefer when people do their own spin on military jackets. for example I would much rather have a dark waxed canvas B10/15 than the original reflective satin. Either way we only win lol
I have the unmarked Yulka hiking boots in lined suede. I emailed them to ask where the leather is from. They got back to me the next day with LeFarc tannery. If you email them, write simple short sentences as their English isn’t great.
I get that engineer boots are more costly, but the bigger problem imo is most of the companies making them are higher end boot makers. If Thursday made an engineer with a decent slim design, I could see it flying off the shelves.
Hoods are rarely useful to me. I live in a city where it rains 8 months outta the year 😅 I find that hoods interfere with peripheral vision and hearing which can be deadly on job sites or even when crossing the road. A hood on a rain jacket can be a good feature so long as it stows away neatly because 9/10 times I’m more comfortable just wearing a ball cap to keep the rain off, unless it’s a downpour.
Been eyeing UES lately. I plan to get something in the future. That traveler shirt looks great. I did just get a 3 pack of the Dehen heavy shirts while they had their sale going. I really like the feel of the shirts, they feel solid and they work with my body type well. I have a couple of their baseball caps too, love the different fabrics they use.
For sure brother lets do a meet up! Love your original channel and this channel is amazing as well! Looking forward to a review on the new origin work line and maybe some stuff on Carolina boot and Wall Workwear? F brunt work boots!
Well Carl, now you temp me with another new pair of Whites. I already own 2 pair and would also like to have the Kudu's Perrys too, no EE width though. Congrats on 150,000. I am wondering if the MP-Sherman CF Stead in Kudu might be worth the price? Would you own them? I always like your opinion's on what to buy and own. Like the pup dog too...
Those unmarked are perfect design in proportion and color. I didn't expect to see that monkey boot pattern that I would like to much except Clinch ones. Same as I didn't find any interesting lace to toe boots until I saw Sandmann quartermasters that I'm planning for next pair. I saw them in red and it didn't stroke a cord but in this color/leather, unbelievable
That Shacket is kind of awful. Nice idea to recycle but wow. Kind of like throwing all your leftovers in a stew pot and calling it a stew. But if I had no clothes and I needed something to put on my naked body so I wouldn't be exposed and freeze, I guess it would work fine. But hey, to each his/her own. In the 80s I remember leather jackets that were patchwork like that. Still gives me the willies thinking about it. Anyway, thanks for all the ideas tho! Take care, Michael
You are 100% right. Those unmarked boots look so good ,BUT real boot people wants to know what leather is it and from where . There's 100s of boots that look good but will crumble breakdown ect. because the company uses cheap leather and construction..I would wait to hear if someone found out what leather is being used.
@RLSteffler it's not about crumble the point is there's no such thing as pull up leather , it's only something certain leathers can do.. That company knows this and just playing on non-knowledgable people
Hey Carl! I was wondering if you have any experience, insight or thoughts about the Filson shelter cloth waxed anorak. I have an opportunity to buy one second hand for about $350 in good condition, just don’t know if I should pull the trigger, thanks.
Carl, have you seen/reviewed the Schott Engineering boot? They are priced at $299.00 which seems too good to be true. Interested to know your opinion on them.
Carl - I always look forward to your weekly chats. And Chloe is just adorable. So is it just me.or does the model for the UES shirt look like an AI generated Neanderthal? The more I looked at him the more creeped out I got. 🤔 Keep up the great work!
Love your videos , stay put . Those bone or white looking gs boots are definitely ugly , just my take . I never saw anyone here in nyc wearing those.lol

I appreciate that!!

I love how you have to say your disclaimer about "recommendations" concerning price almost every time. Lol keep up the good work Carl.
Hahaha I think I have PTSD from all the lame comments!
Teik has a pair from Cordobes and his review was pretty good, especially for price.
So glad to be part of the core! Love my coffee chats with Carl. It's so nice to have a down to earth guy like you help us find the good stuff.

That would be awsome! I would actually take time off for that.
These are by far my favorite videos of the week at this point. Carl, your personality really makes the difference. You’re like a news anchor without the bs.
And also without the great hair!! hahaha thank you sir!

This channel has become something I look forward to so much during my Wednesday morning drives. Great news with an even better host!
Thank you so much!

Just enjoyed my coffee #25 with you Sir. Thank you & God bless... George, Los Angeles
Glad you enjoyed it!
Buy UES direct from them. Generally significantly cheaper and they ship stupid fast.

We have a golden doodle as well and she is incredible, however our doodle loves to run away
Love this series. Coffee with Carl is a weekly tradition during work lunch breaks.
Hey, coffee, lunch, whatever it is- I’m glad to hang out with you!
Keep up the Great Stuff.. Thanks
You bet!
Thank you for keeping everyone up to date with the new releases. I'm really looking forward to seeing a review on the your new boots. I'm hoping they turn out really good. The Ues looks awesome. As always keep up the great work Carl. GOD Bless you and yours.
Thank you!
Very interested in hearing how those Engineer boots work out. I need some.
Have you checked out Boreal Mountain Anorak?? Look to be nice outerwear. Cheers
I usually prefer when people do their own spin on military jackets. for example I would much rather have a dark waxed canvas B10/15 than the original reflective satin. Either way we only win lol
Good looking products! And another amazing video! Woot woot Chloe the actual star of the show made an appearance!!
Thank you!!
I have the unmarked Yulka hiking boots in lined suede. I emailed them to ask where the leather is from. They got back to me the next day with LeFarc tannery.
If you email them, write simple short sentences as their English isn’t great.
Good to know!!!
heya! i cant say i have much to contribute to conversation, but i like watching ur stuff so here is some funny youtube algorithm points!
Thank you!
Be aware for the Freewheelers stuff thats in Australian dollars
My Córdoba’s service boots delaminated after three wears. Cheap flimsy leather. Rough finishing. Wanted to like but was waste of $300
I get that engineer boots are more costly, but the bigger problem imo is most of the companies making them are higher end boot makers. If Thursday made an engineer with a decent slim design, I could see it flying off the shelves.
Consistency w Carl ❤ love these weekly vids and content

Thanks! You too!
I love that Chloe is back.
Shes VERY excited to be back!

We need more Tanker Boots!
Hahahah yes, yes we do!
Good job on the video

More Chloe cameo appearances!
I'll be sure to let her know. She's a great pup!

Commenting to be a data point. :P

Exactly, I want to know what my money is going toward and all the details.
As if any real pullup leather will "crumble"
@RLSteffler it's not about crumble the point is there's no such thing as pull up leather , it's only something certain leathers can do.. That company knows this and just playing on non-knowledgable people
G-1 official doesn’t have side entry pockets.
Ah, good to know!

Thank you so much 😀
@CoffeeWithCarl1 yes sir! You deserve it!
Good morning!
Morning!
Add some heels and dance to tequila at a biker bar for those white boots lol
HA! Dont tempt me!
Did I just watch a Coffee With Carl video, and Carl didn’t have a drink at all? The other week he was drinking some health drink at least.
Ugh, yeah it was that horrible grass clipping drink my wife makes.
What’s wrong with ideal zippers? That’s what Carhartt uses and it seems pretty tough.
I just havent ever had a zipper fail on my that didnt have "Ideal" on the pull tab
@@CoffeeWithCarl1 I've had YKK fail, usually it has to do with the size. My Schott Perfecto uses Ideal
lol, dude... Now I kinda want to start a heritage brand with a name that is intentionally ambiguous and debated when it comes to pronunciation! 😂
Hahahaha New from Dbrakhae!
@@CoffeeWithCarl1 🤣🤣🤣
Carl - I always look forward to your weekly chats. And Chloe is just adorable. So is it just me.or does the model for the UES shirt look like an AI generated Neanderthal? The more I looked at him the more creeped out I got. 🤔 Keep up the great work!
Sadly my feet are too big for the unmarked brand
Lot’s of “avocados” from Mexico 😂
Love your videos , stay put .
Those bone or white looking gs boots are definitely ugly , just my take . I never saw anyone here in nyc wearing those.lol
☕️
I like your style and that gs boot is not for me.
Yeah, they're weird for sure!
Not a fan of the heel on those boots.
