﻿Expensive Items I Own Worth Every Penny [0:00:00]
I think it looks great with my IWI X95, another item I think is worth every penny.
[Music] All right. So,
I just picked up a pair of Canada Goose Snow Mantra Boots. Now, there
was a lot of hype about this and normally, something like this, not my thing. But,
I’m thinking I live in frigid Wisconsin, maybe I’ll be able to get some use out of these.
First up, let’s talk about the packaging. I didn’t know what to expect, but I didn’t expect
this. The case was just oversized. And this thing is built like a tank and it
seems like you can fit two pairs of these boots inside. I honestly don’t understand why they put
these boots in such an oversized case. That being said, the boots themselves
are magnificent. I mean, I’ve own some snow boots, but never anything like this. The size, the build,
the construction, a very functional boot disguised as something that actually looks good.
The fast lacing system, the double zippers, even the removable liner on the inside, everything here
seems like they paid attention to the details. And let’s talk about that sole. Not only do we
have great traction, but you’re going to have two inches of insulation between your
feet and the ground. In fact, they even came with boot bags and contrast lace.
All that being said, I’m not putting these boots on today’s list. Why? Well, simply put,
for an expensive item to be worth every penny, you need to use it again and again and again. And to
be honest for me, those boots are overkill. Now, these cowboy boots from Chisos on the
other hand, I’m going to put them on the list because not only are they high quality. Do they
look good? They are relatively expensive, but I love them and I wear them every time I go down
to Texas and sometimes around the office here. And these boots right here from Thursday, probably
an even better fit for this list. Seriously, I’ve probably worn this over two hundred times. And,
guys, that’s how you should measure value. In fact, I call this the style theory of value.
Value is equal to the number of wears times the way it makes you feel divided by the price.
Put simply, don’t focus on the overall cost, focus on how many times you’re going to be able to wear
this and it’s going to make you feel when you’re wearing and then break that out to cost per wear.
How does this work in the real world? Well, let’s use fragrances as an example. This
fragrance right here costs 40 bucks and you’ve worn it 10 times over the last three years.
Why? Because it was a gift from your wife, you wear it on special occasions, but to be honest,
you don’t like it. Cost per wear, $4. This fragrance right here, $400, you absolutely
love it. It was a gift to yourself and you wear it every day. Three, four sprays a day, guess what?
You get 1,200 sprays out of this bottle. That right there is 400 wears. Cost per wear, $1.
So, based on cost use, this fragrance that you didn’t even like ended up costing more.
And having said that, I’m going to say having a signature scent like
Creed Aventus is worth it in my opinion. Now, does it have to be Creed? Of course not,
tons of great options out there. But, what I am saying is when you find something you really like,
try not to look at the price initially. Now, of course, you’re going to have to
when you’re checking out. And if it’s something that is going to, yes, hurt the wallet a bit,
maybe save up for it, but get what you want. That being said, there are some solid inexpensive
options out there. To find those though you’re going to have to dedicate some time to research,
you’re going to have to do your homework. My point here is to not settle because when
you find something you love, you’re going to wear the heck out of it and it’s going to make you feel
more confident. Yes, you may save 50 bucks on a fragrance that is okay, but why not spend a bit
more and get a masterpiece that makes you feel like a million dollars every time you wear it?

Next up, on this list, the electric toothbrush. So, a few years back,
I just wasn’t going to the dentist as often as I should have. I was brushing my teeth, but I
was using a manual toothbrush. And the problem is I started getting a bit of gingivitis. Yes,
it lead to a little bit of gum disease and all of a sudden, I actually had my gums recede a bit.
This is permanent damage and it was something my dentist explained, you’ve got to come in, you’ve
got to get actually that plaque remove and one of the best things you could do, Antonio, is to grab
electric toothbrush. And it’s exactly what I did. [0:04:58]
This one by Brio, great company. I’ll link to them down in the description.
They’re not the sponsor of today’s video. I think I’m going to do a sponsorship with them,
but I do use their toothbrush for the last few years. Absolutely love it.
And what I love is that when I turn this thing on, I don’t have to think. First up,
it’s got – yeah, you can hear it. It’s got a timer that goes for two minutes. So,
I brush my teeth for two minutes. Next up, I have this really bad habit of
just going back and forth when I brush and it was actually hurting my gums. This has no issue and it
does such a better job. Seriously, since I’ve been using an electric toothbrush, my dentist just been
very happy and I haven’t had any other issues. And it’s just something I want to make sure
that you take care of your teeth. This is all you’ve got, unless you want to go get fake ones.
Point being, take care of your teeth and electric toothbrush, yes, it’s more expensive than manual
toothbrush, but it’s worth it ,yeah, not my opinion. Yeah, do the research yourself, guys.
Highly advised, grab an electric toothbrush. Next up on the list, quality sunglasses.
These right here are Maui Jim’s, but look around, tons of other options out there.
What I love about these is first up, I take care of them because I spent more money on them.
I found that when I was buying cheap glasses, I treated them like cheap glasses. When you spend
good money on glasses, you actually use the nice case that they give you. In addition,
higher quality glasses are going to have better lenses and overall construction. They’re also
going to have better customer service. I know when I have issues in the past,
I’ve sent these to Mau Jim and for a – a lot less than buying a new pair,
I just simply get them rebuilt. The next expensive item worth every penny,
good quality bags. This one here is by NutSac and I absolutely love this one. It is, yeah,
relatively expensive, but I use it again and again. It’s really changed my habits.
This is my go-to bag because I travel with the family. I’ve got six passports I’m trying to
keep track of whenever we’re traveling outside of the country or just even in
the United States and you need things, it is, yes, a good looking man purse.
That being said, I don’t go cheap on my luggage either. This one here by Carl Friedrik is
beautiful. So, first up, I just love that they use this really nice alloy material. It is incredibly
lightweight, yet it’s incredibly tough. This bag has been thrown around. I don’t
have any dents on it and it just looks good. I’ve actually received compliments on this mostly from
my family and my kids. But, yeah, it is a compliment. When your kids are fighting, hey, I
want this bag. And, no, I don’t give it to them. The wheels, it’s really you notice a huge
difference when you have wheels that move across the airport versus getting stuck. Seriously,
gents, if you travel, get quality luggage. In my opinion, it makes a huge difference.
And if you’re looking for just a really nice backpack, I’m going to go ahead and throw EZRI
here. I just talked about them as a sponsor and I will put that discount code. It’s an awesome
discount code down in the description of today’s video. But, I just traveled
with this bag and it worked like a dream. Next up, let’s talk winter wear specifically
jackets and gloves. And I’m going to talk about Arc’teryx. I love their gear. Yes,
it’s performance gear, not incredibly stylish, but incredibly functional. And when you live in
a part of the world where it gets negative 20 for weeks at a time, you want to make sure that
you wear the appropriate clothing. Now, the want-to-be-paleontologist
in me absolutely loves their logo and the company name. If you don’t know the story,
go check it out, really cool. But, yeah, just the functionality of this gear is second to none.
So, the jacket has everything you need and incredibly stylish. I really like the outer
material. If you’re familiar with really high performance jackets, they’re going to
have that outer shell that protects you from the wind and the inner shell that’s going to
have everything you need for insulation. And when it comes to gloves, you want to
make sure you get something that fits you. If you’re going to be outside, you’re going to be
cross country skiing or something like that, I usually go with a double glove system.
And that’s where I’ve got a base glove underneath that’s going to keep me warm if I needed to be
able to use my hands. And then, I’ve got an outer shell that’s going to protect me from
the wind. But the key here to make this system work is you got to get the right
fit on each glove, otherwise it’s going to be uncomfortable, you’re going to get hotspots.
And that’s why for me, spending the extra money here to actually get exactly the right size and
the right materials because you want that inner layer, again, to be able to wick away
moisture when you’re sweaty and that outer layer also is going to let the moisture out,
at the same time, keep the wind from getting in. Now, of course, this is men’s style channel,
so you got to have a good looking jacket, a good looking coat.
This coat right here, I absolutely love it, picked it up at Suit Supply.
Love these wide lapels. And personally, I think it looks great with my IWI X95,
another item I think is worth every penny. Now, what about my Rolex? Well, gents,
I’ve got that covered in this video right here, where I break out all about Rolex and
give you pretty much everything you need to know if you’re out there ever considering buying one,
which by the way, this thing is actually gone up in value by like 25%
since I’ve purchased it. So, yeah, I’d say it’s worth every penny. But, guys, find out more about
Rolex in this video right here. [0:09:39] End of audio
