I put this in a couple of bullet points but because I forgot to say it: If your goal is to work out in these, they're not ideal. Cotton, for all its breathability, doesn't wick moisture as well as polyester so they'll be sweat-wet for longer - and they take forever to dry on the clothesline too!
Yay, thank you for taking about labor laws! Clothing feels so much better without exploitation! It's expensive, but great to support companies like this when I can. I love my pants I bought last year.
Nick, I'm always impressed (and slightly jealous) by your one legged squats that's featured in almost all your videos. If you shared your leg strengthening program, I'd watch it!
In a word, yes. At least with the hoodies - I own all weights with the zips, multiple colours. Love them.

@@Stridewise you were one of the gateways, sir!
I appreciate these videos!! You guys do the best!!! Wondering if you'll ever get some Vollebak gear to review and check out??? I have a few of thier items. Pricey, but damn good. Good day yall!!!
I spent about 1.5k last year as a gift to my mom and my sis and they love it , prior to that I’ve owned about 15 more pieces .
It’s worth buying RC . My first sweater still hanging well and that was 10 years ago when I bought it 👌🏾 Also I like to support local labores as well as I worked with some these people here in LA and I’ve seen how much work they put into these brands
Good video, Reigning Champ is my favorite brand and I own about 30 pieces
Great, now Stridewise has these, American Giant, and Flint and Tinder hoodie reviews. Super useful!
Glad you like them Wilson! I like boots and denim but I also like lying on the couch all day in something less stiff hehe
Nice review. Thank you.
I was kind of unsure about this one Forrest I'm glad you liked it
Great video. How do they compare to Flint and Tinder? Do you have a favorite?
You should review Wonder Looper tees and hoodies when they release.
Nice lookin sweats, Nick, and you wear them well.
Thanks!
bravestar makes some great hoodies. i have one of their terry cloth indigo dyed ones and their normal heavyweight ones. theyre both pretty phenomenal and relatively affordable. i prefer the heavyweight one if i had to only have one though.
as for that desert rose... i think its too close to your skin tone. makes you look a little... nekkid. or like a big gigantic... you know. hey, just being honest.
I am going to grab the matching set of the Slim Midweight Terry Hoodie and Sweatpants in heather grey 👌 Sweatsuits are back in style 🙌
i'm wearing that pink hoodie and heavy black sweats right now! they're so good, i need to do an updated review
Sweet! You are doing different colors. I plan on doing the same color, unless I change my mind last minute 😂 $275 for the combo 😬
@@Stridewise Wow, I am really liking the graphic series…satin stitch autograph logo embroidered on chest (hoodies and crew neck sweatshirts) and on thigh (sweatpants).
do you know the type of red wing boots that Masayoshi Takanaka was wearing on the album cover of the album "all about me" ?
Brave star Glory Days heavy weight hoodie and sweats are also good. They are 20oz.
Their hoodie is pretty good. I can also recommend Bronson MFG for hoodies. Super heavy and comfortable 🤘
THIRD comment to mention it! I'm convinced, I'll try it out :D
You should check camber sportswear
I dont wear pink color clothes. But this brand's pink sweatpant and hoodie seems interesting since it doesnt pop so much as a pink color.
Yeah I'm wearing it now and it's more like skin color, it's a very GRAY pink so it's real easy to wear/not ostentatious
Hi Nick, I had major issues with durability with Reigning Champ. I purchased one of their midweight terry hoodies during quarantine and after normal indoor wear over less than 6 months there were holes on both elbows. Not recommended.
They have downgraded their quality just a bit . Their middleweight feels more like a lightweight.
Severely underrated channel
Tell your friends Patrick
@@Stridewise nobody goes to Dorsia anymore
Great review. Reigning Champ is being acquired, or has been acquired, by Aritzia (female mall retail store based in Canada). Hopefully the quality and Made in Canada production stays. Good for the owner/founder. Believe he sold for $60M+.
Sweet, good for him!
What shoes are you wearing in this?
If you want a stylish versatile hoodie,check on petterson levo rib hoodie...the best in the market .
This is like a mounatineer's shell? I'm after couch lounging www.pellepetterson.com/en-au/artikel/levo-rib-hoodie
I got a $100 hoodie from bravestar and it’s awesome. It’s my favorite sweater.
Second comment to mention that hoodie! I have to check it out, I took note of it when it was released
@@Stridewise fyi I got the zip up version. I think it’s easier to take on and off
To be fair minimum wage isn't all that common here state side anymore, depending on where you are taxes are significantly lower and so on and so forth, i wouldn't feel bad buying from canada or the USA although if prefer to buy from stateside companies as thats where im from
Bro when did you film this? It's been in the 80's and 90's for a while in NYC. I appreciate you risking a heat stroke to bring us this review ✊
Been on my radar for a while now. How do they compare to our beloved American Giant? That rich brown model really caught my eye, difficult to find that color these days.
Yeah the color selection is great. I prefer American Giant in that their heavy hoodie has a slimmer fit and padded elbows. I think I prefer the midweight one from Reigning Champ though
@@Stridewise thanks for that analysis. I do love AG's heavyweight hoodies but I'm in the market for midweight at the moment.
Wings + Horns which is RC's sister brand is known to be better quality and extra $$$ but they are currently closed since the pandemic
Yes I looked into them, hope they come back
They are closed permanently I think
A brand that also has some awesome hoodies and pieces of quality clothing that I recently came across is Knickerbocker NYC. Bring a fellow New Yorker I figured you might appreciate giving them a look.
Dude grab a beer with me some time and tell me about hoodies
@@Stridewise evil twin brewery hahaha jk jk, unless?! 😳
I have focused more on Nick's body in this video than I am comfortable with. Questioning my sexual preferences is not why I watch these videos.
With that said, thank you for doing these videos and putting yourself out there. I need to get myself a pair of sweat pants...
This is so fcking funny, I posted it on my IG then deleted because I thought it was too self aggrandizing but thank you, let me know what sweatpants you get
In the "desert pink" it's hard to tell where the hoodie ends where Nick's skin begins
This is very true but hey at least it's a nice subtle color
Flint and tinder 10 year hoodie is $118. Made in the USA
Very good option if you don't mind the polyester
Did I hear well? "Polyester doesn t peel"???
IMHO, Brave Star makes the best hoodies. I own hoodies from Flint & Tinder, American Giant, Carhartt and of course, a couple from Gap and Abercrombie. The hoodie from Brave Star beats all of them.
Oh I saw that being advertised, that one's new-ish! Their jeans don't fit me at all (low rise) but I'm still curious about their tops, thanks for the reminder
@@Stridewise YVW! I bought the first one more than a year ago and I loved it, so I bought another one, both with front zippers; the pullover didn´t fit me, but the zippered ones are amazing. Thank you for your content; I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!
@@marcelansorena4949 Appreciate you Marcel
Love RC. Definitely not designed for the portly.
"I have a gigantic ass" 😂😂😂
BONCOURA!!!!!!!!!
Sunspel is better. Have borh
Whats better about Sunspel ones? :)
Thanks for the in-depth breakdown. However, I must say, people with our skin tone should steer clear of pink hoodies. It just makes us look like an uncircumcised penis. 😑 Sorry, you'll never unsee that now, but that's my PSA for today. Thanks again.
Pass on a pullover
I am with u on that tommy.
Yeah they have zip ups too I just... come to think of it I don't know why I went with pullover but I did!
@@Stridewise OK, sorry if you mentioned that in the video. Admittedly didn't watch the whole thing since I have no interest in a pullover. I'll give it another go.
@@F0XD1E pullovers are for cool people so i guess that isn't u bro
I wish they would make more clothing for real athletic people. Even sweatpants are way to slim for people who are even squatting a little. Let alone squat a lot. And when there are pants available you only see them in the US or Canada, by in Europe not available. I rip out a pair of jeans every couple of months for 25 years now... So if someone in the comment section actually know a pair a pants or jeans that are made for people who actually workout, please let me know... It is appreciated. :)
Right here! stridewise.com/best-athletic-fit-jeans/
have you even looked into RC? They have sizes that go up to XXL and have many "relaxed" fit. Ive seen professional athletes wear and recommend reigning champ. RC also has polartec options that are even more incredibly stretchy. I own more than 3k or so in RC hoodies, pants, and other items. I have completely thrown out everything else beyond my dress clothes. Their stuff is top notch.
If it doesn’t have a three piece hood then it’s a trash hoodie.
As a straight man, (I think, anyway) I beg u. Please no more sweat pants reviews with single legged squats in pink sweatpants while shirtless... some things can't be unseen
Just giving the people what they want
Woah woah woah dude pls don’t go out on the town w a hoodie on. You might attract miscreants of all kinds 😈, one (1) evil demon 👹, and will most likely end up in the slammer! 🚨🚔🚨 (sarcasm)
why make a video about buying a hoodie?
to help people decide if they want to buy said hoodie
