Great video - nice to see where Italic stacks in the dtc sneaker line up. Would love to see a dedicated video to Gustin footwear and your impressions. I would honestly say they are my favorite sneakers at this point.
I actually have their knife set, the enameled cast iron pan, as well as an insulated water bottle. I absolutely LOVE the knife set and the stand works really well in my small kitchen. The cast iron pan and water bottle are awesome too, so much so that I gifted a few already.
Love your content man❤
I bought the light grey Serene towels (still on the site) from Italic just over a year ago. Everything was in sets of two - 2 bath towels for $40 (now $25 for 2), 2 hand towels $25 (now $15), and 2 washcloths $12 (now $10). I decided to give Italic a whirl after buying from RH for years and being increasingly disappointed with their declining quality. Bottom line - the Italic "Serene" towels are *great*. Really nice, luxurious quality and they've held up really well. I would absolutely buy again, though I'm not sure I will with the membership pricing model. I don't buy that much in the way of household goods, and I'm not skinny like Jon so I won't buy clothes from them, but I would at least consider at least one year's membership if I was considering a restock of towels, bed linens, etc.
Edited to say that the Italic site compares its towels to Parachute and Coyuchi. I have some Parachute towels, and the Italics are much plusher and nicer.
Thoughtful and helpful review. Definitely a step or 2 down from Koio from what I observe. Thanks, Jon
A large excel sheet would be interesting on where you place different items. Or your current list of shows from top to bottom.
Yes I stated this, should update!
Hi mate, great to see your video this mornimg👌
This is interesting, do they allow overseas membership?
We need these to be apart of the part 3 to the best minimalist sneaker!
I personally have been doing a lot more cooking from home and expanding my cookware. It would be awesome if you could branch out into some of those brands and let us know what your experiences are!
Thoughts on the Italic shoe vs. Beckett Simonon Reid? The Reids are currently at $89 right now, which is very tempting and only $14 above this!
Could you review Svensson's "new" clean low silhouette?
Very interesting. Try some of the home products. Ie sheet and such.
Great video, man.
I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried their cookware, bed sheets, and other linens. We're due for some upgrades across the board there. Plus, I have the clothes buying habits of someone that subscribed to your channel over a year and a half ago, so I'll probably pick up a few things for me throughout the year. That $100 looks really justifiable for the first year, like you said. I'd love to pick their marketing people's brains about how the hell they'll get me to re-up for year 2.
I want the cook wear too! Might try their Dutch oven when I order new sheets 😋
@@The_Kavalier Yeah that one's tempting. A good dutch oven is so freaking useful. Shame they're out of stock of that pots and pans set. Babish got me cooking like crazy over lockdown, and I've almost made myself spring for the All-Clad set a few times. Getting it from Italic would have been a nice compromise.
FWIW, I left a more detailed comment endorsing the towels I purchased from them about a year ago.
May you and your family have a ghoulishly fun, treat-filled and spooktacular Halloween weekend, super Mr. Jon!!!!! :D
Thank you Nicolas!
When is your graphy going to be released ?
i like the white shirt your wearing. what is the brand
Check out the Premier low top from Thursday Boots if you haven't already.
My understanding is that about 70% of most footwear companies' prices are margin -- maybe more for a company like Koio which does a lot of marketing, or CP which has a big brand name. By that math, a $250 shoe probably costs about $75 to make. If these don't compare to the Koios, I would be skeptical of the claim that they're sold at cost.
I believe italic cadence sneakers are the exact same as taft white sneakers. The back seam stitch is the same, the laces are the same (not supple and soft like common projects, more stiff) and made in portugal. All that leads me to believe they are the same shoe just rebranded. I'm not complaining however, the shoes are a great value especially if you find yourself buying more and more stuff from them. My girlfriend loves the leggings, and I love the black leather baseball jacket as well. Italic is solid.
I think Rose Anvil cut these in half, check it out. Also cashmere sweater round up ? 👀
Yes 👁👁
Would be cool to see some sort of collab between the Kavalier and Rose Anvil.
Bought the winter parka last week, waiting for it in the mail still, we will see!
Would love to hear more!
How do you like the quality?
@@grownsimba8120 it is my favorite coat. It is very nice.
Very cool.
have you looked at Magnnani
It's Hallowe'en, has the Kavalier come back from the Dead...
Hi, do you plan on potentially making a video on the Thursday Boot sneakers? (or Goral?)
goral ugly af - doesnt even look "minimal" - but good quality
thursday nice budget shoes (Rose anvil made a video about them and didnt mention the soles - since he is a shill , and wouldnt talk crap about a sponser video, I can infer that the soles wouldnt hold up as well as koios and cp's).
@@abcthecamper1799 I have the Nothing New sneakers and it’s the same sole. Basically just a leather upper now.
Yes. Love the Horween leather they’re using!
@@abcthecamper1799 The guy behind Rose Anvil is extremely transparent about his sponsorship practices. He has always been principled and fairly critical of the products he reviews.
Absolutely love those sneakers! If only they came in wide... 🤵🏻
Lol
any recommendations?
@@remy7663 Allen Edmonds has a line of Sneakers in an EEE or Archibald London’s standard width for sneakers is an EE.
Hey John if I’m a half size/11.5 should in size up or down
Feel tight. Would size up
Lol! Was there a bad smell at the end?
check the Vekla sneakers
The problem with Italic is that they sell out of stuff quickly, they have great products though
So would get these or the Koios?
Koios
How do they compare to Greats?
Very favorably. Especially since I think Greats quality has slid since my first pair.
I'm annoyed you don't have more subs- a huge majority of my current wardrobe is due to you including 150 pairs of lux leather minimal sneakers.
No one does a video on "fitment" NO ONE. Thank God thrusday has free returns, the sneaker is built like a pencil. I need a wide shoe, just bought some Allen Edmonds penny loafers in a 10 EEE, perfect fit.
It's not like there is an industry standard on size, shit's all over the board, I have a pair of oxfords that are 9.5 EEE that fit perfectly, I have another pair of loafers that are 11, they fit the same as the 9.5 oxford and the 10 Edmonds. Yeah, Crazy shit.
How are you Kavalier? My name is Lisandro Rovira, I am the founder of Leo Frattini.
I am a engineer and shoe designer. We manufacture our own sneakers and shoes and we also have our own brand. I would love for you to review our sneakers and shoes. Is there anyway we can send you a pair of sneakers? I believe you are size 14 if I’m not mistaken. Please let me know what your US size and if you’re interested in doing a review on our sneakers. Also if you need more information.
5:45 - "Irked?" Your entire channel and other channels basically came up by comparing these off shoot brands to Common Projects. Irked? No, dude. They're you’re bread and butter. None of you UA-camrs should be "irked." You created the market!
Talk about wallets
I dunno, I’d rather have one pair of Koios than 2 pairs of lower quality shoes.
I thought you quit...
shhhhhh dont remind him
What! Who said quit?
koio is 268 now btw, i have 11 pairs lmao
I have 1 koio and this brand is pretty addictive - I'll snipe one off ebay one day , wouldnt pay retail anymore even tho 100000% worth it.
check out crown northampton - feels better than my koios :)
@@abcthecamper1799 I actually have crowns Chukka boots because of this guy . He reviewed the pair I got. If you want the absolute BEST sneaker and anything that pertains to quality , check out archibald London
Worth it
Did you unbox a sneaker or a small boat??? 🚣♀️ 🤣
Mini barge
@@The_Kavalier please, I’m bringing an 8-8.5 to party, that 12 ain’t no mini barge my friend...
:)
Got a very cringey Coio advertisement made to look like women from the 80s selling it to you...
Weird!
@@The_Kavalier ua-cam.com/video/cncXCMx99-4/v-deo.html
@@The_Kavalier Very weird indeed.
Sweater looks cheap and nasty
