HERITAGE STYLE | Is It a Sustainable Style?
Is Heritage Style really sustainable? Here are my thoughts on why I believe heritage style is a forever style. I'm not trying to convince anyone to change their way of dressing or their style but I think it is something that most already do. Don't get me wrong, I love to wear other styles from time to time but I have consistently worn my Heritage Style pieces whenever I can.
What are your thoughts? If you have been styling "Heritage/Work" clothes for some time now, do you intend to stay that way? What about those who are thinking of embarking on this adventure?

I'm glad to come back after a long time of staying away from UA-cam and making videos. I almost quit for sure but realized I needed to continue making videos for those who love watching heritage-style vids and of course what I do. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

    The Speedy is a classic, nicely done 👍 I will say that a dedicated tool (e.g. Bergeron 6767 or 7825) is always a good idea for take straps and bracelets off. Less scratches to the inside of the lugs.

    U have the same style like my dad, but recently since the levis 501's came a resurgence on the millenials i asked him for 3 of his vintage pairs that he doesnt wear anymore and it somehow fits me well. The first time i wore them i suddenly realized why my dad loves them, the durability on those is crazy probably 25 yrs old jeans already. Might definitely stick on this kind of style for how versatile and timeless they are if u know how to wear them, also im thinking of buying some boots on them as well. Im so inlove with those jeans bruh, esp that theyre my dads pair when he was on my age.❤️

    Your totally right. Quality over quantity is very sustainable. I've been wearing pretty much a heritage style for years (I didn't know it was called that until seeing your videos🤙). My only variation is I typically wear a classic running shoe like a NB 996 instead of the boots, but I do plan to get some. Thanks for the great video!

    • @StylishGreaseMonkey
      @StylishGreaseMonkey 26 днів тому

      All throughout the years of working on the JK, the dreaded minor/major evap leak is the most annoying and frustrating. For some I just ignore it already and delete it. It’s a good thing my area doesn’t have the CEL as an item to fail inspections.

    • @rhithym
      @rhithym 28 днів тому

      I don't want to be a smart@ss... but the tride and true way to break in a pair of jeans... is to just wear it. Wash it when it smells or more often if you want more vintage look/less pronounced fades. That's it.

    • @SkywalkerPMs
      @SkywalkerPMs 27 днів тому

      ​@@rhithymyou didnt come off that way. Others say to wear extended time periods, like 100 times. They did loosen up a bit. Just checking with some others.

    • @StylishGreaseMonkey
      @StylishGreaseMonkey 26 днів тому

      I’ll be making a video about this someday. It’s a process that many have complicated all throughout the years. Personally, I don’t think it matters much whether it is soaked or washed in the washing machine. I prefer handwashing and a pre-soak to soften the fibers. The ones I use in my garage gets stained by all kinds of oils and fluids so it is a necessity to soak it. I do soak all my selvedge on the first wash. This helps remove the starchy feel. I noticed that the fade and patina happens during wear and not during wash. I’m sure this is obvious. Thursday mocks are nicely made with comfort in mind. The RW mic toes are a pain in the behind to break in since it is nothing but leather top and sides. I have to wear inserts on mine to make it comfortable. Sorry for the ramble!
