75% OFF North Face Jackets - Best Winter Deals & Reviews!

- Huge North Face deals.
- With the deal girl.
- And a huge giveaway.
(cash register chimimg)(musical tones) - We've got a full house today.
Hi, I'm the YouTubedeal guy, Matt Granite.
- And I'm intern, Dominique.
- And I am Lucy, the deal girl.
- Yeah, you are.
How cool is it, where are we today? - We're on a Winter set at YouTube.
- And we've been using theset, and I think, like, a lot of the videos that we've shot here have looked odd because,it's Winter themed, we weren't wearing coats, but finally, we have a reason to celebrate.
Do you know what we're celebrating today? - North Face.
- Yes.
Huge North Face Deals, ifyou've never watched me before, I find huge deals everyday, where we make sure you got hooked up withthe lowest price drops, and to be honest, I'mgenerally not someone you would see in a North Face jacket.
The prices are too muchfor me on North Face, I can't afford it, butI can afford it today.
Before they model the coatsand we get to the giveaway, I just wanna showcase thatall of the deals I find, which are all located rightunder this video screen, are their lowest recordedprices that I've seen.
I've been charting theprice drops for a long time, but unlike many of the deals I feature, these vary by color andsize in terms of price.
Highlights include awomen's North Face fleece for $49, men's coats likethe one I was wearing for $80 although this oneis a little bit puffier, and, I do wanna mentionthat Columbia also brings incredible value for as lowas $15, so I've included those as well but watch how the prices change from this $67 price to $89 and beyond depending on what size and color you pick.
It is a little bit frustrating, but if you're looking for abargain, I'm steering you toward the best deals located rightunder this video screen.
I'm wearing one of thedeals, Dominique is wearing another deal, and so is Luciana and we are going to show--- I'm not wearing it.
- That's a good point, Luciana.
She'll be wearing it soon though, because we're gonna makeher model it for you.
One of my favorite features of many of the NorthFace jackets or coats, include a fleece material onthe inside that can be removed.
So, the fact that you candetach the fleece from the coat, you basically get two differentcoats out of the same thing, a heavier Winter jacket ifyou're in a part of the country where that matters, and thenyou also get that fleece that you can of course wear whenthings are not quite as cold.
Is North Face still aphenomenon, is that a thing? Cause I know people myage love North Face.
- Yeah, number one, it's a name brand, everyone loves name brands.
Number two, it has style, and as you can see, that's pretty true.
Number three, it's very lightweight and it keeps you warm, soright now we're in Winter so it keeps you warm,that's great, but as we're approaching Spring, it'sgreat to just have a nice, lightweight jacket thatdoesn't take up too much space so, those are the reasons why I like it.
- We just had a North Facerunway model right here.
- Great.
- Deal girl, you did great.
- Thanks.
- Have you ever professionally modeled before? - No.
- I think now you should start.
- You really should.
- My brother has.
- Your brother's been,- Really? - Yeah.
- Has he been a professional North Face model? - Well, no but kind of, he danced like this.
- That's great, and you think that constitutes modeling? That means that he's a model? - Yeah, sometimes he walkslike a model in our front hall.

- Today we're giving away a home power managementsystem valued at $50.
- Or if you prefer, I'll send you $50 to use on Amazon toward anything you want.

Men's Winter Coats/Jackets - The Parka | Men's Fall Winter Essentials Series - Down

(upbeat music) - Hey, welcome back to my Men's Fall and Winter Essential series.

So when I first released my peacoat and overcoat video and article, a lot of New Englanders,Canadians, and Northern Europeans complained that they couldn'twear any of my favorite pieces because they just weren't warm enough.

Now, I'll admit it, livingin Southern California, excuse me, has actually skewed myperspective in this regard.

So, let's rectify this.

To me, there's reallyonly one winter jacket that I like and thatlooks great on everyone, and keeps you nice and warm, and that is the parka.

But not all parkas are created equally.

I'm over this hood.

So, first and foremost,I'm constantly asked for stylish winter jackets.

When it comes to crazy cold weather, I think that utilityshould supersede style.

And that's not to say that, my hair has gone crazy, that's not to say yourparka isn't stylish, but no one's going tolook at you in your parka, and think, "Wow, youroutfit looks so amazing.

" Parkas are designed to go over your outfit and be taken off thesecond you step indoors.

So, if you really want tolook stylish in cold weather, then wear one of my fall jackets, or an overcoat or peacoat, and layer like your life depends on it.

So, let's quickly go over what to look for in a good parka.

First, depending on yourclimate, and how cold it gets will determine how longyour parka should be.

So, the colder your climate,the longer your parka.

So, you'll want a hip-length parka if you live in a climatethat's cold but not crazy cold.

If you live in the tundra,then you'll want a parka that goes down to yourknees or even past that.

If you live somewhere whereit's kind of in the middle, then you want to go with a parka that hits about mid-thigh.

So, just don't be that guy in San Diego wearing a knee-length parka.

It's just too much, and looks weird.

As for colors, I lovenavy, black, and olive.

Just make sure thematerial isn't too shiny.

If I had to choose a color, I prefer navy becauseit's still really dark, but it's easily wearable.

Olive is also a really great color, too.

Black can sometimes look a bitjarring in such a big jacket, but all of those colors willlook perfectly acceptable.

Next, make sure your parkafits relatively well.

So, what I mean by that is you want the shouldersand body of your parka to lightly hug everywhere.

You don't want it to betoo loose or too tight.

So, when you are trying ona parka for the first time, it's really important thatyou're wearing at least a sweater and shirt.

Make sure to zip up that bad boy, because you want to ensure that it doesn't fit too tightly in the body.

As far as lining goes, I prefer down, but synthetic is perfectly acceptable.

But I just think that downkeeps you a little bit warmer, but as always, your mileage may vary.

So, the last feature youwant to look for in a parka is a detachable fur trim on the hood.

This is not a deal breaker, but is more of a convenience thing.

I just think it's nicewhen you have the option of removing that fur trim.

That way you just get twodifferent looks out of one jacket.

Even though they're mostly a utility item, and style takes a backseat,I couldn't help but style a parka outfit for you.

So, one of my favorites is by Parajumpers.

I really like the fitof all of their jackets.

So, I style this navy parka, with a crewneck sweater,wool trousers, and wingtips.

And, of course, I threw on a scarf and some gloves to finish it all off.

Check out my website formy other favorite parkas that'll fit any budget.

And I'm really curious, definitelyleave me a comment below and let me know who makesyour favorite parkas.

Alright, so subscribe to my channel for more videos like this, and if you liked thisvideo, give it a thumbs up.

Thanks so much for watching,I'll see you in the next one.

TED: Adam Baker - Sprzedaj swoje graty. Spłać długi. Rób to co kochasz.

Sold their lumber repaid LONG do what you love Adam Baker Hey.

Today I would like to give you a job.

To answer the question.

The good news is that the question is quite simple, in terms of its content.

Bad - that people were trying to answer them for thousands of years.

People sacrificed life to this question, they fought for it and in a way they gave their lives in defense of this question The question is this: What does it mean to you FREEDOM? And I'm not talking about the dictionary definition of freedom as well as academic and intellectual debate, what freedom is, but about what freedom is for YOU? What is the significance in your own life? And I know it's myself that this question can change your life, since when we asked them to deal with his wife Courtney 3 years ago.

At that time it was a bit awkward to talk to us about freedom.

It was at night when we brought our daughter Milligan from the hospital.

As new parents, we tried the 30-40-50 minute lull it in a new place.

Then we walked like a zombie next to the kitchen table.

When we sat down, I turned to her and said: Honey, I need to talk to you about something.

Before after 5 years of marriage, I've learned that the worst way to start a conversation.

And I say: -Chciałbym talk to you about freedom.

You can only imagine what was her reaction.

To this day I can not repeat.

But when we started to talk about it any longer, we discovered it was a perfect time for us.

Because at that time in our life we ​​lacked one thing: Transparency.

To stand back and think about how we go through our lives.

And whether it correlates with what we really wanted.

We started with the financial aspects of life.

Our financial life "degraded" to a simple question: "What is another part of the house we want to replace?" Ever had this conversation? "We exchange the couch, or will save and buy a new table to the kitchen?" "We should change a flat or maybe just more flat TV?" That was our financial life at the time.

And it is obvious that we had too bad debt.

We were a little early twenties.

Nielicząc huge student loans, we had a consumer loan for $ 18 000 to start a life together.

We also had 4 credit cards, paying two car loans, credit for wedding jewelry, a loan from the family.

I used to joke that we were collectors loans.

We had all but mortgage.

And zganijcie what? We bought a house! It was the hottest time of our lives.

I started a new business, after working 80 hours a week.

Courtney finished college, started working as a teacher.

More feverishly it could not have been.

And we even took a mortgage? It did not make sense.

And when the moment came glare when Milligan brought home, I noticed that this is another thing that "scenario" according to which we conducted our lives.

And this is not the scenario we chose.

He chose us.

He chose us because we did not want to answer this question.

If you do not want to answer this question, certainly will be someone (company, person, government entity) who will be happy to find the answer for you.

And you wake up one day and find that you are living according to someone else's script.

It works more or less like this in the US: In elementary and junior high school they teach us how to learn.

We go to high school, grades begin to count.

And if you have good grades in high school, you get the privilege of.

debt to tens of thousands of dollars to pay for college In college, you're doing a lot of different things, and finally you get the coveted title, a piece of paper, which goes by the promise of safe operation.

A stable, well-paid jobs.

Then you get an apartment full of junk, and if you have not been able to attract a partner college, it now with these junk sure you succeed.

2-3 years later you have children, you may be promoted and changing housing and continue this cycle for the next 30-40 years of his life until I reach the "promised land" - retirement.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong in this scenario.

Unless.

you do not want it.

We discovered it at the kitchen table, that we live according to the default scenario and we do not want that.

So we asked what we want.

The answer took us some time.

But we discovered that we want to "clean up the account.

" Erase the whole damn thing is present in our lives.

It continuously collecting new things.

So we sell everything superfluous, and the rest to throw two backpacks, that we will carry with you.

We repay $ 18 000 loan, which reflects our reckless spending and we spend a year traveling around Australia the whole family.

That was our goal, which we have planned.

A year later, my wife Courtney took this picture.

It's me and my daughter Milligan, now has 3.

5 years We are sitting in the plane on the way from Indianapolis, Indiana.

Year of conversation between the kitchen and the picture was very heavy.

We had to analyze a lot of things to look deep in our image, that was not so, we would like to make people viewed.

We had to change a lot of habits and beliefs, to get there.

But we managed to do it.

When we were getting on the plane, we had 2 backpacks and most necessary things, no $ 18 000 debt, which started and we took our way to Australia.

From Indianapolis to Chicago, Chicago to LA where nieprzespaliśmy night, we finally arrived to Sydney.

From Sydney we got to Cairns, a city lying just off the Great Barrier Reef.

Sleepless 28 hours flight with a one-girl.

I'd show you how we looked like being on the spot, but we made a pact, that no living person will not see these photos.

But I'll show you another picture of our trip.

Chciałym present the slideshow, but I will show you just that.

Again I have done by my wife, who is seen as a great photographer.

It was taken in Cairns wybrzerzy in 3-4 week of our trip.

There is a small island called Magnetic Island.

And on this island while we were at breakfast after the arrival of the ferry, we went on a half-hour tour, during this trip we saw kangaroos Australian Koala bears in a tree.

We felt like a movie.

When we got to the top, we looked at the private beach And then it dawned on me like never before.

And I realized that just live our dream.

Do not get me wrong, then things do not matter ogarnialiśmy.

Even at this point in the trip, especially with a child, Constantly taught, But for better or worse.

It's MY wrote the screenplay.

After all, we were in control of our lives.

I know that not every one of you wants to sell everything and fly to Australia.

This was our definition of freedom three years ago.

And change even now.

But I know that YOU have to define it looks like freedom in your life.

I have to take this step today! Where the process begins for most people? Exactly here, where are your lumber.

Look at this junk! Almost to pour into the streets! Now it seems to you that this is an extreme case.

But if you think about it.

How many of you have "friends", which garages, free rooms, cabinets a little different from this? It really is not extreme.

This standard flex more than you think.

But I ask you, what happens when that person loses his job? What happens if he gets a better offer in another city? When you have to adjust physically, emotionally, financially to any situation in life? In the best case, they are at a standstill, stagnation, kept in a snare, have a lock before adapting to any situation, by the amount of stuff they have.

But we have a way, a little cunning trick to facilitate that process: We put them here.

Did you know that behind this millionth business, allowing you to flip the old junk, we can make a change and buy new lumber! At this point, there are 2.

22 billion square feet of warehouses in the US alone.

It's amazing.

Every man, woman and child, can stand shoulder to shoulder and fit under indoor warehouse if needed.

So what is it? Why we're obsessed with buying new things, while being tied to the old? How "wkupiliśmy 'in this addiction? I think it's a certain kind of myth.

The myth, which says that the acquisition of things and pursuit of the environment, filled with different things, guarantee our safety.

Many of us think that it will give us the happiness! And in the pursuit of things we begin to identify with them.

You can determine who succeeds and who does not; Who is stellar, and who is not.

Whose garage looks like I showed, and whose vice versa.

So we begin to identify with our things.

But the truth is that we realized that most people ever see in your life, is the fact that more things, especially junk, will not give you security.

I certainly can not also happiness.

In fact it was quite the opposite, when Courtney and I sold more and more things.

I often ask this question.

Do you ever regretted the sale of a thing? Or have you ever had to buy back previously sold thing? And always, when I ask when and telling my story, I try to think about it honestly.

Right now.

And the answer is always the same: NO Not a single item that sold did not cause me grief.

Never after the sale did not say: "I feel so insecure" It was completely the opposite.

As we sold our layers of junk, we felt, if we pulled down the weight.

We felt more flexible, efficient.

Ready to repel any negative moments in life and more open to the possibilities.

We were no longer restrained by the obsession of ownership.

We started the way other people perceive, to see that their identity is not based on material things, but on experience.

It is not about collecting expensive and beautiful things.

Only a rich and interesting experience.

We should identify with the people and ourselves on the basis of experience, not what we have.

I would also like to talk to you more about the American Dream.

And he is no longer even an American, only applies to the entire world.

And partier idea that if you work really hard, You can buy into August in this fantastic lifestyle.

And this is still true.

The more stress and suggest that consumerism is a problem for us.

(A so).

If the linear equation remain so, so simple, It will be easier to control.

Do you want more money.

What are you doing? You buy less.

Do you want to change jobs or work less.

You buy less.

It sounds simple, almost too simple.

But it is so.

But in the last 20-30 years we cheesecloth to this little trick.

We added to this part of the puzzle that makes it much more.

Malignant.

We found a way, thanks to which we must first do not work to buy.

We no longer have to work on this lifestyle.

We can just reach it.

And of course you already know what I'm talking about.

This debt! So, in order to buy into this fantastic lifestyle, borrowing.

We do this at a young age and later, this is the norm.

Of course, there were thousands of years long.

But we mastered it to perfection in the last 20-30 years.

Perfectly we use them every day.

What causes it, when we want to buy this lifestyle, apologetically, in what we are great, we have more work to pay off the debt.

So it keeps us at work.

Would not it be great if they liked your work? Most of us do not like their jobs.

Actually, most of the highly unpopular.

So we no longer have the flexibility to change it - because we have a debt.

Not only do we have to pay the bills, but also the debt.

So we go back to work, which we do not like and sit in it longer.

Is there a better recipe for stress on this planet? Than spending the majority of present life on the job you hate, to pay the debt that dragged a good few years ago? Normal, that are stressed or overworked.

And as we are doing with this stress? There are two main ways: We eat and buy.

We escape from the grind of the marketing.

We deserved because we work hard.

So we justify.

Someone buying clothes, someone else gadgets.

Most of the leaves in warm countries to get away from your work.

But we do not have the money yet.

So we borrow.

We pay for the escape of even greater debt.

And you see that it works like a ball of snow.

It's a cycle that ties millions around the world.

I want to tell you today that you are too valuable to be stuck in this.

Nigel Marsh spoke at TED w Sydney And he put it much better than me.

He said: In the world there are thousands of people living in quiet desperation, przepracowujących long hours at work, they hate, to be able to buy things they do not need, to impress people they do not like.

When I first heard it in his speech at TED, It not just almost knocked me off my feet, but it was painful when repeating because it is so true.

I'd like you imagined, how your life would look like if you decided from today collect experiences rather than things.

Imagine how much power and flexibility introduce it into your life.

If you removed the specter of circulating stress and debt.

Imagine how they were bigger impact on the world in which we live, if each of us woke up in the morning because the caller does not alarm, but with excitement for the coming day of work, we love, or business based on our passion The problem is complex, but the solution is very simple.

Remove the weight that holds you back.

Remove junk from your life, remove the obligation, and you'll be more free to start work on which you really care.

This is the way to safety.

This is the way to happiness.

Another observation, which I have for you: Do you realize that we are the most free people in history? We are among the freest creatures that ever trod the earth? What are you doing with that freedom? How you use this great gift that you have? Start with a simple question.

What is for you FREEDOM? Only your own answer has the power to change your life.

This answer will change your world, if you let it.

So my task for you, then go out today and find the answer to this question.

And it will be worth the idea to share.

Thank you.

Men's Lightweight Down Jacket - Classic Wardrobe Piece? - Light Weight Feather Jackets Coats

Men's Lightweight Down Jacket - Classic WardrobePiece - Light Weight Feather Jackets Coats Hi! I'm Antonio Centeno, the founder of RealMen Real Style.

Today, I'm going to be talking about the lightweight down jacket.

If you haven't already, please subscribe tomy YouTube channel.

By doing that, these videos come right to you, and in addition, if youlike this or if you find it useful, I would appreciate it if you would click on the "like"button.

If you want to learn more about men's style, I've got a free 47-page e-book foryou.

You can get that by just clicking on the link right below this video Let's go ahead and dive into it, the lightweightdown jacket.

As you can see, I have one on.

I don't know if it exactly matches the cardiganand tie and white dress shirt that I have on underneath, but it is something that isvery functional, a very useful piece in a man's wardrobe especially if you like to layerand if you're going to be in areas where it is cold and you value really the strengthsthat this piece of clothing brings to the table.

Let me go ahead and lay out the strengths.

By the way, fashion and style is not one of these.

It used to be probably back in the'70s, but since I would say '90s, this look has really been overplayed in cities, butlet me go ahead and talk about the strengths.

The strengths are it is warm.

This does agreat job.

Down is an excellent insulator and how it does that is actually with thesepockets right here.

These has a number of pockets and these pockets, they suck in airand they use down, which is if you're not familiar, you feathers and then right belowthe feather are down.

I'm not an ornithologist here, but I do understandI think the basics of it, and my understanding is they're not true feathers, but they arevery feather-like, much smaller, and they put them in here.

What this does, they createspace and the air comes in, the air is trapped, and air is an excellent insulator.

Air is an excellent insulator because it doesn’tallow heat to transfer very easily.

So in the same way that your cooler does a goodjob of keeping things cold or keeping things hot like a thermos, this does the same foryou.

It keeps in your body heat and it prevents the cold from going in and affecting yourcore.

So down, really hard to beat when it comes to insulation.

There are a few thingsthat can do it, but really for the cost, this is excellent.

Now let's talk about another thing that'sreally nice, lightweight.

So this jacket, I can tell you, is incredibly light.

It'sa bit loud, so if you're kind of a high-speed, low drag military guy or you're a Force Recon,Navy Seal, Delta Force, you probably don't want to be using this because it gives offa lot of sound.

You can probably hear that in the video, but it is incredibly lightweight.

So if you are going hiking, this could bean option assuming that you're going hiking in a dry area, and I'll talk about why, butif you're going to be hiking and there is going to be no rain for the foreseeable future,great piece of gear, incredibly light.

It will keep you warm.

Let's say you're out in Arizona.

You're hikingthrough the Grand Canyon at night in the winter.

This is a great piece of gear to take withyou also because it can be compressed down.

So during the day, it may be pretty warm andat night, you can pull this out because it sucks in the air and it forms those pockets.

In a sense, air is all over us, all around us.

So again, you can compress this very small.

Now, the containers that a lot of these arein, and in this one in particular, you can see this one actually is water-resistant.

I'm not sure if it's fully waterproof, but I know it's water-resistant.

So another thingabout these jackets, they usually use a lot of synthetic material on the outside, so prettygood at water just rolling off.

The other thing is you're going to see theseare usually made in bright colors.

Of course, there are parkas and other things that usedown and they use more drab colors, but a lot of the garments in this area, you're goingto see maybe with very bright colors.

This is good for safety reasons.

So you'reout hiking and you get lost, all of a sudden, you're a lot easier to spot from an airplane,or if you're out walking on a trail and it's hunting season -- I would advice just notgoing out into the woods during hunting season especially here in Wisconsin -- but a brightcolor like this is going to separate you from the animals.

We've talked about compressible.

We've talkedabout basically warm.

Now, let's talk about the negative things.

The first thing, andI alluded to this, if you get down wet, it loses its insulating properties and it takesa long time to dry out, so down is not a good thing even if it's water-resistant.

If youfall into a lake or you fall into a river or you get drenched on, you could end up witha jacket that's very heavy and is not insulating at all, so that is a negative aspect.

Another one, and I touched this at the beginning,these have been overplayed since the '90s.

And what you've seen, it used to be that ifyou're wearing something like this, you are actually going outdoors.

You are maybe fromthe Seattle area.

You are from Colorado.

Now, you see them all over.

It means that you canwalk through any of the major cities and instead of men wearing stylish gears, most guys looklike they're basically packed to go climb Mount Everest or Mount McKinley or something.

And bright colors, they are not stylish.

It'sjust a bit too much screamy.

Also with the down -- let me put my arms up here -- it reallydoes not flatter the figure, so even if you've got a pretty good size chest, you exercise,your waist, you've got the six packs, no one's going to see it.

I mean, you might as wellhave a keg underneath this jacket because you basically look like a marshmallow.

Another thing, it's hard to adjust.

A lotof other pieces of men's wear you can adjust.

This one is a bit harder even for a seamstressor tailor to bring in, so if it doesn’t fit properly, it's going to be hard to adjustthat, and even on the sleeves simply because they use a lot of -- right here on these sleeves,they've got an elastic around the wrist, which is supposed to help keep in heat, but it'sgoing to be hard for a seamstress to shorten or lengthen.

In fact, she can't even lengthenthese sleeves.

So no shape to the body, if they get wet,it loses insulation, so those are the negatives, but you saw there are a lot of positives.

For the right man, this could be an essential wardrobe piece, but for some of you, there'sreally no room for this.

I like to keep something like this tight, wrapped up inside my truckfor an emergency jacket to be able to pull out, but that's probably about it for my use.

Okay guys, this is the lightweight down jacket.

Let me know what you think down on the comments below and I will see you in the next video.

Bye-bye.

POGBA BOOT HISTORY 2009 - 2017 | ALL PAUL POGBAS FOOTBALL BOOTS

Today, we will make a trip down memory lane to see all boot Paul Pogba has used over the years.

It's a funny guy, good Paul, because not only It has a new haircut almost every week.

It also changes your football boots more often than many people They changed his underwear.

All tiempo.

Así that if they like Paul Pogba and want to know the story of how he became a Star join me and start in 2009 with a young Pogba, who he moved from Le Havre in France to Manchester United, and he made using these reliable Adidas Predator Powerswerve and in fact, initially, I stayed true to the boots with 3 stripes, first with Predator X, and then the Adipure IV in the following years.

In 2011 he decided he would use what he wanted, won the FA Cup Youth using Nike T90 Laser 3 in black Until he decided to use a couple of Adipower Predators made it up who earned his full debut in Manchester United, Nike CTR360 Maestri II the to the point where He chose to use a pair of laser IV.

By the way, all boots in black color, because the Academy players Manchester United could only wear black boots to not feel with high ego before they could earn the right to wear colored boots.

curious history.

Then, in late 2011, he returned Adidas Adizero F50 with miCoach Before choosing the great Gold Adipower Predator, which used before earning his official debut in the Premier League, breaking hearts of fans of United.

And going to the 2012 events, Paul Pogba initially used Adidas Predator LC before returning to the tick and again and again, using the CTR360 Maestri III, wherein He won his first series in the 1213 season Then Mr.

Pogba arrived at the U20 World Cup in France becoming the best player championship with great victories, and He did not only using the first generation of Adidas Nitrocharge not Pogba also used the newly released Nike Phantom Hypervenom 1, after championship, was active and played a full season.

He won the series in 2014, and made using its reliable CTR360 Maestri III, then that, it was time for another cup, but this Once adult, the true World Cup, and after briefly use the recently launched Nike magus Development in the training.

Pogba started the championship with Nike magus low cut Opus before returning to the.

You guessed it.

the Maestri III blank and reflective.

Bellisimas.

So you understand why Pogba was crowned the best young player of the World Cup 2014.

For if people had not given It accounts that Pogba was getting high, now.

And he returned unexpectedly to Adidas Predator Instinct.

Pogba even used the Accelerator's Revenge Pack, which was pretty cool, incidentally, before making an already not so surprising return to Nike magus work, and indeed, here Nike was trying to sign a contract with them, so They made many high-level customizations Special for Pogba, one even with Flag of France in their work, as tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Good man.

Although it did not work because at the end of 2015, Paul Pogba opted for Blackout Ace 16 + Purecontrol before early 2016 officially became Adidas player in obtaining their unique and very cool boots pogboom and in fact he used the Pure Control by winning another double Italian and being second in Europe.

So in the summer of 2016 it was time to return to Manchester United and November, Paul Pogba was one of the first people to get about Ace 17 + Pure Control Edition Limited red, which is funny because that color was only available to us the rest of mortals in Ace 16 + Now, in January 2017 Paul Pogba was ready for the big, and obtained its first representative color totally flawless in black and gold, He was followed by a collection of clothes and even obtained their own emoji Twitter.

And what did in his debut? A penalty against Liverpool At least the boots were great, but the young Paul made amendments, and he became the main face Ace of 17+ online using various colors this season, and taking United to glory in the European league and also to the League Championship, scoring the first goal the end of the European League.

Arguably the circle had closed.

This was a pretty epic conclusion of a story which it is far from over, as I am pretty sure Paul Pogbas end It is one of the best midfielders his generation.

Which of all boots you used over the years think is the best? Let me know in the comments section below, and do not forget to see the other lines boot time we've done, there is one for Neymar, one for Messi, and also Ronaldo did another.

Of course, not forget to subscribe not to miss any of our amazing videos of football boots And leave a like if I had a good time.

And with that, I leave.

Let's go The comfort of the Nemeziz 17.

1 didn't convince us in the beginning We had little pressure marks on the heel because it was a little stiff This changed after a short run in and the shoe gets more comfortable! All in all we are very satisfied You will notice that the boot ist cut very small Players with normal or wide feet should get a size wider or get a different shoe! Fast directional changes make no problems, your foot is glued to the boot the lockdown is all in all top notch! The feel for the ball with the new Nemeziz is good but not perfect because the upper material is a little thicker When it comes to the touch the shoe can gain points because it has a lot of grip and gives you control by crossing and shooting The shoe is as always well crafted by adidas! except some little visible using marks we had no problems We guess that you can use this shoe at least 1 season Let's get to the conclusion of the Nemeziz 17.

The material is not one of the thinnest but you get a great control which is caused by the good grip I will give the shoes 9 out of 10 points Comfort, Touch and durability convinced me, the shoe is very satisfying on the foot The shoe has a really good durability and grip, Sadly the touch isn't that direct because the upper is a little thick but the shoe delivers a very good lockdown and good traction I will rate this shoe with 8.

TOP 5 - FOOTBALL BOOTS 2017 (No 💰 Limit)

On 5th place we got the Adidas ACE17+ Purecontrol This model is called Blue Blast as you can see on the colorway In my opinion the combination is well made, from the dark shiny blue tones with black color Which works always well If you look at the shoe from the side you can see the Adidas stripes are reflective On the back we got the Purecontrol writing in rose A beautiful but not to excentric boot in my opinion We already tested the boot in 2017 and what to say about it It looks better than it works on the pitch The problems are pressure on the heel even after hours of playing The shoe is laceless and with that the lockdown is worse than it is in other models All in all a good and solid 5th place! On 4th place we have a boot which may not be the brightest star The Umbro Velocita 3 We tested this model at the end of 2016 and we were surprised how good it was The highlights are the very small weight the material which is soft out of the box and the lockdown! Testing the boot I was reminded at the old F50 by Adidas which is a big advantage The lockdown is made for normal and slim feet and everybody not to wear NIKE or Adidas should take a look at this model! On the third spot we got the NIKE Hypervenom 3 Phantom The boot was released in 2017 as predecessor of the Hypervenom 2 Which I liked a lot, I have to say it maybe my favorite shoe from NIKE Till now I couldn't test the new ones because of an injury and bad weather conditions Lukas and Tim already tested the boot for a few weeks, Tim also under match conditions In Lukas opinion the upper is very smooth but he had problems at the heel and because of that the new Hypervenom could not convince him Tim had no pressure and was very satisfied with the new Hypervenom 3 But he said the Hypervenom may be better without the inner sock! This will be shown in a test, for me the boot is a highlight in 2017 Let's get to the second spot, tension is rising! In second place will be the new PUMA EVOpower A very crazy color this light green which shines immediately at you I tested this model in 2016 with Lukas and Karol when we challenged Mario Ballotelli We did some challenges with this boot and like it has been with it's predecessor I am completely convinced and I truly have to say that the shoe did get even better The upper is even softer and has more grip We will try to give you an extensive test to this boot but my conclusion until now Is I am very convinced In my opinion the shoe has almost no disadvantages and because of that an earned 2.

place Let's get ready for the first spot! You can write in the comments below which boot it is in your opinion! I don't want to tease you too much! It is the Purechaos by Adidas Why this model? On the one hand I like the color This stealth black is exactly what I like and with this shoe Adidas did everything right! If you look closely it's the ACE17/16 from it's technology The difference what makes this shoe better are the laces Which means you can fit the shoe to your feet And the material which is thinner and feels more flexible After the unboxing and taking them on the boot fits perfect in my opinion We tested the last cutaway from this model and you can watch the test in the video description.

Fall haul 2016 - Haul autunnale 2016 feat. Primark, Modcloth, Asos, Ted Baker & Zara | Giugizu

>> Hi giugizers and welcome back, or if it's your first time here, hi, welcome to my channel I'm Giuliana and I upload new videos every monday and friday so if you haven't yet subscribe in order not to miss any! Autumn has officially started which means 2 things The first one is that it's time to switch the wardrobe to Fall clothes which is something that terrifies me but it also means that we can treat ourselves with some new Fall clothes and as I'm a shameless shopaholic I got a bit over excited and in the past 2 months I bought a ton of Fall clothes As I know you usually enjoy this kind of videos I decided to share them with you so let's jump into it because I have a pile of clothes here I tried to divide the clothes per brand and I'll start with Modcloth.

If you follow my channel you already know that I love Modcloth, it's an american site specialized in vintage/retro inspired clothes where you can find some unique pieces.

I hadn't been on it for a while, so when in the mid of September I logged in there were a lot of new products waiting for me and I bought 3 pieces.

I featured the first one among my September faves because I'm obsessed with it I'm talking about this 50ies inspired flared skirt grey with a black polka dots print I love how it fits and I love the fabric because it's neither too heavy nor too light, and apparently I developped an obsession for grey and you'll see it recurring among my purchases.

By the way I remind you that, as usual, on my blog you'll find the list of all these clothes with direct purchasing links so if you like something you just need to click on the link in the infobox and you'll find the list so if I don't mention the prices, because I can never remember them or if want more details, the best way is to head over to my blog.

So the first favourite is this skirt that I already wore a whole lot.

The second favourite is another skirt it's a bit different though, it's still flared, but it has a floral print all over with very autumnal colors The fabric is a light polyester, but warm enough for this season I liked the idea of a fall floral print because it adds an hint of color but it's quite muted so it doesn't look like a summer skirt I haven't worn it yet, but I'm sure I'll do it very soon because I love the print Always on Modcloth I also bought a pair of shoes, pardon me while I grab them that I featured in my September favourites video too so I'll show them quickly now, they're some faux suede grey flats with some cute bows and cutouts all around They are comfy, cute, not too boring and I wear flats a lot because they're easy to pair and comfy So these were my 3 Modcloth purchases.

Then I have a few Ted Baker pieces The first one is this basic wool sweater, but the peculiarity is this bow made of ribbon I like it because it's a basic piece, but with a twist I like how it fits and usually I like to wear this kind of sweaters in late autumn and winter, so when I saw it I had to get it and I paid it I can tell you because there's still the label on, 99 pounds which is quite a lot, but if you're familiar with Ted Baker you know that it's quite expensive.

so a sweater and then I got a wool cardi I like that its a bit tighter on the waist without buttons and it's super simple and basic and easy to pair in many different ways Then I bought a dress that I wore during my UK road trip and during the fair in Frankfurt if you watched the vlogs you probably noticed it I love it, it has this cute cutout on the neckline a big zip on the back It's tight on the waist and falls nicely on the hips and it has the same cutouts at the bottom too Maybe it's a bit too short for me, but I love it and I think that with some thick tights will look great moreover it even has pockets, which is always a plus in a dress Now let's move to Asos, at the end of August, taking advantage of the sales I bought this simple red dress it has the classic cut I like, tight on the waist and flowy on the hips with a round neckline and the brand is Club L there no price on the tag, so I can't tell you, but I'll link it on my blog and it has this cute detail on the sleeve, three golden domed buttons that add a retro flare to the dress.

Always on Asos I also got.

Sorry about the noise, everytime I put a piece down e.

BAM goes the hanger I also bought this skirt it's really structured, flared, highwaisted and the brand is Coast it's quite chic, it has pockets and I haven't worn it yet but I liked the idea of pairing this structured, plain, black skirt in many different ways, for example with a leather jacket for a more edgy look, or with a white blouse for a more preppy look or with a little sweater, so there are plenty of possibilities for a skirt that in my opinion will be highly wearable throughout fall and winter Ok, those were my Asos purchases, I hope I'm talking quickly enough because I still have a few pieces to share so let's move to Zara For a while I didn't manage to find anything interesting in Zara but this time I found 2 pieces that I really love The first one is this lacey top quite sheer and see through so you have to wear something underneath I like the contrast collar and this short flowy sleeves it comes down straight as you can see I wore it during the fair in Frankfurt too because it's a piece that can be formal, but you can also make it look more casual.

The second piece I got from Zara is quite unusual for me it's a long dress and I don't wear often long dresses mainly because as I'm not very tall they make me look chubbier and shorter but this one c-c-c-onquered me.

Lol c-c-c-c this one conquered my heart as soon as I saw it it has a autumnal floral print and it's tight on the waist but falls nicely on the hips it has a little collar and 3/4 sleeves and once I tried it on I fell in love and I had to have it because sometimes it's nice to try new styles too Ok, those were my 2 Zara purchases Now let's move to Primark I've been in Primark in Frankfurt, because everytime I'm in a city with Primark I have to check it out in Italy we only have one, in Arese, and it's quite hard to buy Primark clothes as they don't sell online either.

Not all the times I find some interesting things but this time apparently I did find a lot starting from this black and white long and quite basic cardi these are the classic go - to pieces, the ones that you end up wearing throughout fall and winter during Fall you can wear it as a coat and in Winter as a warm cardi simple, straight, long, perfect to pair with pencil skirts, with jeans and in many other ways and I paid it 22 euros as usual Primark prices are unbeatable and it's a basic piece I'm sure I'll wear a lot Then I got a top, you saw me trying it on in my Frankfurt vlog here it is and I paid it 13 euros I love the floral print I like the 3/4 slightly frilled sleeve the frilled neckline and it has another frill on the chest I think it will look great both with jeans and skirts and a cute top for 13 euros it's something you can't go wrong with very similar, because once again it has a floral print, it's this blouse, always from Primark I paid it 13 euros too I'm obsessed with this little bow I love the round collar with a contrast edge present on the pocket and on the cuffs too It's cute and light, perfect to pair with a chunky cardi or in this middle season with a leather jacket Then.

C'mon hurry up, I don't to talk too much a cascade cardi, the ones with the buttons to wear crossed like so it's soft and lightweight perfect for the middle season and it's grey yes, grey again and I paid it 14 euro we're almost at the end, the last two pieces are jeans that I got from Primark I paid these ones 17 euro and I think the other ones too which I featured in my September favourites video They are skinny ankle jeans with the fraied edge I like how they fit they're slightly elasticated and they have some rips and cuts at the bottom and a bit everywhere they are the classic blue jeans, easy to pair with everything and the other ones that I featured among my September favourites are grey, they come a bit longer and once again are ripped and I'm loving them a lot.

I'm breathless but there's one more thing I wish to show you, shoes, let me get them here I am I got them online on the Miss L fire website to be honest I spotted them in the first place last summer in Collectif in Brighton but my size was sold out so the shopkeeper suggested me to try online and as soon as I came back home I got them and I love them because they have a retro vibe, they are in faux suede, with some cuts on the vamp the heel is stable and that's important because I can't walk on stilettos or heels higher then these ones they are comfy and they are perfect to create both elegant and more casual looks Et voilà, we made it!! kudos to you if you are still with me you deserve a kiss I hope you enjoyed my fall haul and I remind you that on my blog you'll find them listed with purchasing links so head over to my blog, you'll find the link in the downbar I think that's it, if you liked this video don't forget to give it a thumbs up share, favourite and recommend it to your friends and if you haven't yet subscribe in order not to miss any new video because I have plenty of cute projects to share with you Ok that's it, I wish you all an happy Fall and I also would like to know which is you Fall go - to piece your favourite one for this season That's really it, I send you tons of kisses and I'll see you very soon, have a nice day, ciao!.

Odd Jackets - Sport Coats - Blazers - Men's Suit Jacket - Menswear Clothing Terminology

Odd Jackets - Sport Coats - Blazers - Men'sSuit Jacket - Menswear Clothing Terminology Hi.

Iím Antonio Centeno, the founder of RealMen Real Style.

And today I'm going to talking about sports jackets, blazers, odd jackets.

Whatís the difference? Why do we use all these different terminology and how can youput it to use in your wardrobe? Okay.

So we used these words over, I see themin the industry often used interchangeably.

But my understanding and you know, this isup for debate, you know, depending on, you know, what form youíre on, I guess what sideof the pawn youíre on and you know, what camp youíre in.

But Iím going to give youmy view.

So take it with a grain of salt but this is based on of my research, my understanding,my talking with the lot of the experts in the field.

Okay.

So the odd jacket.

The term odd jacketsimply means any jacket that is not made to have a particular pair of trousers to go withit.

So a suit is defined as a jacket in a paired trousers made from the same fabric.

Odd jackets, by the very name, do not have a matching pair of trousers.

So any jacketout there that does not have a matching pair of trousers, whether it be a blazer of sportsjacket, is technically an odd jacket.

So thatís an all encompassing word.

You donít see it used very much because itjust sounds odd.

And therefore, Iím not going to talk about odd jackets.

And thatís kindof like the overarching word.

But Iím going to talk about the two subsets of odd jackets.

And thatís the blazer and sport jackets.

And these, in my opinion are very different.

Oh Iíve seen some writers use them interchangeablyand I think that that ñ I think itís wrong.

And the reason ñ because I think the blazeris a much more structured piece, sports jackets are more general and you can even say, a blazeris a sports jacket but Iím not going to go down in that path.

Iím simply going to saythat a blazer is a blazer.

Sports jackets, I think they develop afterblazer.

I think like 40 or 50 years later.

And so I look at them as their own pieces.

And they were developed primarily for the man of sport, the man who wanted to stilllook good but was going to be playing tennis, was going to be going out hunting, and hestill wanted a jacket to wear.

So letís talk about blazers.

What makes ablazer unique? Well, one of the first things or youíre going to notice that they are almostalways blue.

Now, blazers can come in red, they can come in green, they can come in othershades of very dark, I think somber colors.

But what youíre going to see is primarily,they are navy blue.

And youíre going to see them in a blue worsted thatís consideredby many of the experts, the classic fabric for it to be made from.

But youíll see themin flannel, you go seem them in hopsack, youíll see them in other, just a regular worstedwool.

So blazers besides being navy blue, they alsohave oftentimes very unique buttons.

So youíll mother of pearl on blazers occasionally.

Youíllsee silver.

Youíll see gold buttons.

Youíll see brass buttons.

Youíll see family heirlooms.

So all types of different things used for buttons on blazers.

But the key is the blazerbuttons always stand out a bit more.

Although there were some modern men who ñ they donítwant to stand out and they particularly choose to go with a very muted button.

The other thing about the blazer is its navalhistory and its association with, I think anything nautical.

So anytime youíre on ñyou go to Anapolis or you know, out to Monterey, California thatís where a blazer -- itísgoing to have a great feel to it.

Itís going to be something that ñ it just has a verystrong and very deep history and association with bolts, supposedly from the HMS blazerswhere it gets its name.

You know, thatís up for debate on that story.

But in any case,I would say thatís what categorizes a blazer.

One other thing, blazers also can be double-breasted.

You rarely ever see that.

In fact, Iíve almost never see it in sports jacket.

But blazersare, I think by definition, a bit more formal than sports jackets.

And therefore, youíllsee them as double-breasted.

And usually when youíre wearing a blazer, you want to weara tie.

Now Iím actually wearing a sports jackethere and you may wonder, you know, a lot of it ñ well this looks like a lot like a blazerbut itís actually a sports jacket.

So thatís probably a great transition.

What makes asports jacket? Well to me a sports jacket is a general termfor pretty much anything that is not a blazer.

So sports jackets have the word sport in them.

And thatís because they were developed mostly in the 1920s and 30s, whenever men were startingto exercise, more get out and play sports and they wanted to be gentlemenís sports.

And they wanted a jacket that was made particularly for the actual sport.

So we saw this in tennis,moved over into hunting -- actually I hunting, itís been aroundÖ Öfor a long time.

There have been jacketslike the Norfolk.

And these jackets were actually developedwith their own unique style.

So you know, this jacket doesnít have it, but on the backof some of the hunting jackets, they would actually have a lot of vents.

So the jacketcould open up more so that ñ you know, a shooting jacket.

It wouldnít be a restrictedif youíre going be firing a rifle.

So these jackets enabled you to look likea gentleman and behave like a gentleman but at the same time be a ñ you know, a mobilesportsman and be able to do pretty much what ñ if you think about, what most of us weuse performance gear when weíre out.

You know doing these extreme sports or you knowthe tri-athletes, these guys are actually wearing tweet suits.

And tweet is pretty rough.

A lot of peopletheyíre very careful with their wool tweet because they spend a lot of money on it.

Butwhen it comes down to it, a lot of these sports jacket fabrics were developed to be able todo it, you know, take a rough and tumble.

Thatís why on sports jacket youíll see pocketsor shoulder ñ Iím sorry ñ elbow patches.

Well that is so that you can put the elbowdown on a rougher area and not have to worry about it.

You know, another one on shootingjackets youíll see actually a leather patch up here.

You know, all of these actually hada reason for being in existence.

So getting ñ letís get to the modern sports jacket.

The modern sports jacket, youíre going tosee a wide range of fabrics.

And in fact this is a sports jacket simply because I got acheck pattern in it.

Itís actually a glen check here.

And another thing with sports jackets is theyíregoing to be a little bit less formal.

So youíre going to see ñ I use what is it, a patchpocket on this.

You canít see my bottom but I got, let me see if I can, yeah, it probablydidnít pop out right.

But in any case, use it more ñ use all typesof styles on sports jacket.

So I love sports jacket simply because theyíre less restrictivethan suits or blazers and you can do -- have all types of fun with them.

I mean look atthis really unique lapel over here.

Itís a little bit of ñ you know, of a sporty look.

I saw this one time in a magazine, you know, from a designer that came up with this yearsago and I was like, ìHey, I want to do this on my sports jacket.

î Another thing with sports jackets besidesthe wide range of style, the wide range of fabrics, the fact that they were designedfor sport, I think sports jackets theyíre just overall going to be less formal thanblazers or any other type of you know, trying to match a suit jacket with a pair of jeans.

And so they can go with denim.

And I really like to wear sports jacket with denim, alwayssports jacket looks great a pair of odd trousers like corduroy or gray flannels or somethingto that extent.

Okay.

So hopefully that clarifies things again.

Youíve got odd jackets, youíve got blazers, youíve got sports jackets and thatís howtheyíre all sort of related.

Both blazers and sports jackets are odd jackets.

Blazersare not necessarily, you know, some people argue but I think theyíre separate becausethey came about a different time periods.

Okay.

Hopefully, I did not confuse you.

IfI did, I guess you can send me an email and Iíll either redo theÖ.

It stretches enough to wrap your foot tightlyand then spends the rest of its energy on locking it down so the boot will respond toyour every move without the need for laces.

The tape has been sewn together, covered bya thin silicone layer and lined with a soft foam on the inside for a good, soft and personalfit.

The soleplate is equally agility minded withsemi-conical studs and a stiff forefoot for max responsiveness - and if you want to feelon your toes and ready to destroy your opponent, look no further than Nemeziz 17+ 360 Agility! If you need your laces though, the Nemeziz17.

1 is a brilliant option.

Made from the exact same idea with the torsiontape at the center of it all, the 17.

1 incorporates laces to provide the lockdown needed.

Because of that, the tape on the upper partof the instep has been replaced with a mesh material as the compression is no longer needed- but it doesn’t hurt the performance one bit.

On the toebox of both the Nemeziz 17+ and17.

1 you’ll find the textured Agilityknit 2.

0 which is both grippy and thin for a deadlytouch on the ball.

The last visible difference between 17+ and17.

1 is the height of the collar which is slightly raised on the 17.

1 due to the lacingsystem - but apart from a slightly different sensation around the ankle and a little lesstight fit, the 17.

1 is very similar to the 17+.

If you love Nemeziz so much that you wantto play with it outside the grass pitches, there’s the Tango model, which has beendesigned with the same agility benefit in mind.

There’s more tape, though, for better stability,but the concept is the same.

On top of that, or, erhm, at the bottom you’llfind a rubber sole that gives you the grip while others slip.

Think about that.

8 Secrets Of A Great Summer Sport Coat Or Blazer - Gentleman's Gazette

Welcome back! In today's video I'm going totalk about 8 secrets of a great summer sport coat.

Many many believe that as long as they feltlightweight suit jackets, they;re ready for summer but that's not true.

Basically we have8 core principles that are important for a summer sport coat.

One, start with the right weight.

Ofcourse,it's important to have a lightweight jacket because lighter fabrics insulate less andfeel cooler.

However, if your fabric is too light, you will have lots of wrinkles, itwill look bad and you have to find the right balance.

Overall, about 8 to 9 ounces or 240- 270 grams is a good start a weight because it will give you a drape.

If you go lighterthan that, you may have issues with wrinkles.

Two, remember weight is not everything, Theweave is even more important.

The weave of a jacket is extremely important because ifit's tightly woven, it will breathe less and in order to feel cool you want to have asmuch air flow as possible.

A great open weave fabric is a so called fresco fabric becausehwen you stand you can really feel every wind and it makes you feel cool.

In order to determineif your fabric is open weave or closed, one good way to do it is actually hold it againstthe light source, like a light bulb and look through it and an open weave fabric is soopen you could almost read a book through it or some text in a magazine versus a tightlywoven fabric is so that you cannot really read anything through it.

Three, Opt for texture.

Unlike suits, sportcoats are meant to be worn in a more casual environment.

In some offices, it's okay towear them but overall you want the garment to be relaxed, distinctly different from thesuit jacket.

Basically, you will be well dressed without being overdressed and texture is areally great way to help you achieve that.

In order to get texture, you want coarse weavesand yarns that are slightly irregular you get some knobs.

For example here, I'm wearinga panama weave jacket which is a wide weave that creates this waffle structure and alternatively,you can have linen where one yarn is thicker than the other so you get something irregularand more three dimensional than a regualr business suit.

Four, go with unlined jackets.

The open weaveof your fabric is not enough because you have a second layer of fabric inside your jacketwhich is the lining.

Linings are typically made from viscose, bemberg cupro or sometimesilk which are all natural fibers or based on cellulose which is a natural fiber andthey're very lightweight however, the weave is so tight that it restricts airflow.

Soeven if you have an open weave fabric but if you combine them with the lining, you willnot get the best benefits of the open fabric because the lining acts as a blocker.

Themain benefit of linings is A- to protect the outer fabric and to make everything slideand fit well.

So generally, lining are great but summer, it's more important that you feelcool.

So basically you want an unlined jacket but there are two versions of unlined jackets: One is completely unlined jackets.

It meansyour jacket literally has no lining whatsoever, not in the sleeves, not in the back, and thisis a rare version of the unlined jacket usually you only find them with bespoke garments.

Italians sometimes like it or spaniards or portuguese because they live in very warmclimates and they really want to maximiz the airflow.

Disadvantage of the completely unlinedjacket is especially in your sleeves, it sometimes catches your shirt material and so it doesn'thang well or drape well.

The second unlined option is called half lined or sometimes calledquarter lined.

What that means is that your sleeves are lined and your shoulders are linedbut your back and oftentimes the inside front are not lined and it really helps to makeyou feel cool but it also lets your sleeves drape easily so it feels comfortable.

Basically,it's the best of both worlds.

Five, select the sewn interlining also knownas canvas.

One of the most important aspects of jackets or sport coats is the interliningwhich is also known as canvas.

Basically, when you have a piece of fabric, it's twodimensional flat, in order to keep it in a certain shape, three dimensional around yourchest, you have to fixate the interlining to the outer fabric and connect them.

Youcan connect them by sewing them together or by gluing them together.

Economically, it'smuch less expensive to glue these layers together but in terms of comfort it's really bad becauseit's a fine fabric, it makes you sweat and the fabric doesn't breathe as well.

On theother hand, a sewn canvas really feels more comfortable, generally softer and it allowsyou to feel more the air and it's also known as the breathing garment.

Basically, you'llhave three levels of interlinings.

You have full canvas, half canvas and you have fuse.

Generally, only top quality garments have full canvas because it's the most expensiveway to do it and if you go to a tailor or to a high end made to measure company or rentto wear company, that;s what you really get, a full canvas jacket or sport coat.

The nextstep down would be the half canvas jacket, that means that the top oart of your sportcoat is sewn with a canvas versus the bottom part is glued.

The only reason to do thatis to save a cost without sacrificing some of the look on top of the garment where it'smore important than the bottom.

Very inexpensive sport coats and usually the ones that aremost comfortable are the ones woth fused interlining.

For summer, you definitely want to avoid itat all cost cos it's a guarantee that you overheat and sweat a lot.

That being said,not all canvasses are alike, you can have a full sewn interlining canvass that is muchstiffer or softer and ideally for summer jacket, you want as little interlining as possibleand you want it to be as soft as possible so it's really comfortable and you don't reallyfeel much.

Traditionally, horse hair blended with wool was used but for summer sport coats,it's better to go with like cotton wool because horse hair is rather stiff and it's not idealinterlining of canvas that you want for a summer sport coat.

Six, go with a bold pattern.

When you havean open weave fabric, what happens is you can see through one way but also the otherway and you don't want people to see what you're wearing on the inside or if you havea pen in your pocket.

So ideally, a bold pattern a- makes sure you look very differnt frombusiness men but also it helps to make your garment not see through.

For example, thispattern is really great but you can also try others, windowpanes, checks, seersucker stripes,madras pattern, all of these things are great for summer sport coats.

What you definitelywant to avoid is things like pinstripes or chalkstripes, they're typically associatedwith business suits because sport coats are not just a suit jacket on its own, they'reindistinctly different jacket.

seven, embrace strong colors.

Now, when youdon't want to wear a pattern or you don't have one or it doesn't suit you well, that'sokay.

You can also go with stronger typical summer colors.

What I mean by that i avoidthe typical black, grey, charcoal, blues and navys and instead go for something like lightblue or nice green and that way you really create a different, distinct, unique look.

What's also important is you never want solids, you also want slightly mottled colors.

Basically,you can be as creative as you want, maybe red or orange or something turquoise.

ALlthese colors can work and it depends on how comfortable you are and how strong they are.

When in doubt, I recommend go for something that is always a little lighter and interwovenwith white yarns like this one here because that way it softens the look even if you havea stonger, bolder color.

Eight, choose a single breasted jacket andpay attention to details.

Personally, I love double breasted jackets, I think they're reallygreat on me, they look really masculine and they're flattering.

However, when it comesto summer sport coats, single breasted is preferrable because it's simply less fabricthat is layered up in front of you so I'm more comfortable when it's hot outside.

Also,when it comes to details you want to make sure that you either have patch pockets onyour chest, on your side and you can also have details like a center pleat in the backor like shooting pleats, you can have angled pockets, maybe contrasting color or a littlecolored tab.

You definitely want to make sure that you have certain details that look distinctlydifferent from a business suit.

If you just have a regular flat pocket, two button jacketwith a notched lapel that you also wear to your office, you should always try to mixit up when you have a sport coat.

As far as accessories go, in summer sport coats, I preferto wear bow ties when it's hot cos it's just a single layer around my neck and it doesn'tdrape all the way along my body which can oftentime insulate and make you feel warmerthan you have to be.

If you want to wear a tie, I suggest you go with knit ties becausetheyhave a very open weave and they let the air go through.

Men's Winter Coats/Jackets - The Parka | Men's Fall Winter Essentials Series - Down

(upbeat music) - Hey, welcome back to my Men's Fall and Winter Essential series.

So when I first released my peacoat and overcoat video and article, a lot of New Englanders,Canadians, and Northern Europeans complained that they couldn'twear any of my favorite pieces because they just weren't warm enough.

Now, I'll admit it, livingin Southern California, excuse me, has actually skewed myperspective in this regard.

So, let's rectify this.

To me, there's reallyonly one winter jacket that I like and thatlooks great on everyone, and keeps you nice and warm, and that is the parka.

But not all parkas are created equally.

I'm over this hood.

So, first and foremost,I'm constantly asked for stylish winter jackets.

When it comes to crazy cold weather, I think that utilityshould supersede style.

And that's not to say that, my hair has gone crazy, that's not to say yourparka isn't stylish, but no one's going tolook at you in your parka, and think, "Wow, youroutfit looks so amazing.

" Parkas are designed to go over your outfit and be taken off thesecond you step indoors.

So, if you really want tolook stylish in cold weather, then wear one of my fall jackets, or an overcoat or peacoat, and layer like your life depends on it.

So, let's quickly go over what to look for in a good parka.

First, depending on yourclimate, and how cold it gets will determine how longyour parka should be.

So, the colder your climate,the longer your parka.

So, you'll want a hip-length parka if you live in a climatethat's cold but not crazy cold.

If you live in the tundra,then you'll want a parka that goes down to yourknees or even past that.

If you live somewhere whereit's kind of in the middle, then you want to go with a parka that hits about mid-thigh.

So, just don't be that guy in San Diego wearing a knee-length parka.

It's just too much, and looks weird.

As for colors, I lovenavy, black, and olive.

Just make sure thematerial isn't too shiny.

If I had to choose a color, I prefer navy becauseit's still really dark, but it's easily wearable.

Olive is also a really great color, too.

Black can sometimes look a bitjarring in such a big jacket, but all of those colors willlook perfectly acceptable.

Next, make sure your parkafits relatively well.

So, what I mean by that is you want the shouldersand body of your parka to lightly hug everywhere.

You don't want it to betoo loose or too tight.

So, when you are trying ona parka for the first time, it's really important thatyou're wearing at least a sweater and shirt.

Make sure to zip up that bad boy, because you want to ensure that it doesn't fit too tightly in the body.

As far as lining goes, I prefer down, but synthetic is perfectly acceptable.

But I just think that downkeeps you a little bit warmer, but as always, your mileage may vary.

So, the last feature youwant to look for in a parka is a detachable fur trim on the hood.

This is not a deal breaker, but is more of a convenience thing.

I just think it's nicewhen you have the option of removing that fur trim.

That way you just get twodifferent looks out of one jacket.

Even though they're mostly a utility item, and style takes a backseat,I couldn't help but style a parka outfit for you.

So, one of my favorites is by Parajumpers.

I really like the fitof all of their jackets.

So, I style this navy parka, with a crewneck sweater,wool trousers, and wingtips.

And, of course, I threw on a scarf and some gloves to finish it all off.

Check out my website formy other favorite parkas that'll fit any budget.

And I'm really curious, definitelyleave me a comment below and let me know who makesyour favorite parkas.

Alright, so subscribe to my channel for more videos like this, and if you liked thisvideo, give it a thumbs up.

Thanks so much for watching,I'll see you in the next one.

Sports Jacket - Blazer - Suit - What's The Difference? | 3 Classic Menswear Pieces

Sports Jacket - Blazer - Suit - What's TheDifference 3 Classic Menswear Pieces [0:00:00] Hi! I'm Antonio Centeno, the founder of RealMen Real Style.

Today, I'm going to be talking about the sports jacket, the blazer jacket,the suit jacket.

What is the difference? Many of you guys are out there.

You're outthere looking to purchase a jacket and you're like, "Okay, what is the difference? Can Iwear my suit jacket as a blazer jacket? Is this blazer jacket technically a sports jacket?"And it doesn’t help that a lot of people out there selling these items don’t knowthe difference themselves and they're confusing the terminology, confusing the words, andin many cases, you see clothing being made which is kind of a hybrid between them.

The rules I'm going to give you today, I'mgoing to talk about each of the jackets and I'm going to talk about the fit, the fabric,and the function of each of them.

I'm going to give you general guidelines.

You're goingto find a lot of the clothing out there will fall somewhere between these, but using theseguides, you're going to be able to make a smart, informed decision and make sure thatyou purchase the right jacket, and just as importantly, you wear the right jacket forthe right occasion.

Okay.

Before we get into this, guys, I'd appreciateit if you would subscribe to my YouTube channel.

That way, these videos come right to you.

I don’t want you to miss any of them and I put out these little ghost videos, so ifyou're not subscribed, you're not going to get them.

In addition, if you want more information,go to Real Men Real Style.

I'm going to link down below, but I've created an entire infographicand article that goes into more detail than I talk about here in the video.

Let's getinto it.

Let's start off with the suit jacket.

Now,many of you guys are familiar with this and we're going to talk specifically the definitionof a suit jacket, is a jacket that is made with basically a matching pair of trousers.

And when I say matching, it's made from the exact same fabric.

In fact, when I used to-- and I still own my custom clothier -- whenever we make clothing, we make sure it comes froma suit.

It actually comes from the same role.

The fabric is right next to each other ifthey're cut.

What's interesting is in a mill, over time the actual color and the way things-- consistency, they try to keep high, but if you actually try to match a pair of blacktrousers or a black jacket, you may find that they actually don’t match up.

Sometimesthere's a difference in the weave.

Other times, it may be that if you wear one more than theother, they can start to fade, so that is one of the reasons I recommend do not tryto wear your suit jacket as a blazer or a sports jacket.

Number one, it has a matchingpair of trousers and you keep them together.

The other part about this is suit jacketsare going to be the most formal.

In men's style, in men's clothing, usually the mostformal items are going to be the simplest.

You're not going to see any fancy pocketsand you probably should avoid in your first few suits fancy patterns, stripes, checks.

Now, those things are in some suits, but we're talking here -- and if you're watching thisvideo and you have that bit of confusion, you probably need to focus on the foundationsuits, which are going to be charcoal gray, navy blue, maybe lighter gray.

If you're lookingat black tie, which technically a tuxedo is a suit, it is a matching jacket, matchingtrousers.

So suit jackets, the buttons normally aregoing to be on a lot of stuff being produced today plastic, but hopefully we would seehorn on higher end jackets, again, mostly going to be navy, charcoal gray, lighter gray,occasionally black, although I'm not a big fan of black for suits unless it is blacktie.

Now, let's talk about the fit.

A suit jacketis made to fit a bit slimmer and should fit you slimmer.

Now, a lot of guys buy suit jackets,which are too big, but a suit jacket is not really made to be layered with clothing underneath.

You should wear a shirt under it, occasionally maybe a sweater vest, something to keep youwarm in cold weather if you're moving around quite a bit, but you're not going to wearfull sweaters underneath them, and we'll talk about in a few minutes why that's important.

We've talked about the fit can be a bit closer.

The fabric, again in suit jackets, it's mostly going to be solids.

You will see some pinstripes,some chalk stripes, and some checks.

The function of the jacket is again the most formal.

Allof the style aspects -- and I get into this more in the infographic.

The function, ifyou look at the lapel right here, this is a sports jacket.

You're usually just goingto see, on a suit jacket, notch lapels.

You will occasionally see peak lapels especiallyin formal wear.

Black tie, you'll see shawl lapels and you will see peak lapels, hopefullynot notch lapels in formal wear.

Guys, that is a suit jacket.

Now, let's go take a step lower.

Let's goto the blazer jacket.

The blazer jacket is interesting because it's a hybrid.

It's goingto be more formal than a sports jacket, but it is not a suit jacket because it's not madewith a matching pair of trousers as we had talked about, so let's first talk about thefit.

I would say blazers you're going to see sometimesare going to be a little bit looser.

They're not going to also be structured.

Suit jacketsusually have more structure in the shoulders.

Blazers, you will sometimes see structure.

Other times, you may see a bit looser of a build especially if it's of Italian heritage.

Let's talk about the fabric.

Most blazersyou're going to see out there, especially ones you're buying off the rack, are goingto be in navy blue.

[0:05:04] You're going to see them made from blue worstedserge and that's the classic.

You're going to see flannel.

You're going to see hopsackoccasionally, but really any lightweight worsted wool.

You can also sometimes see linen mixedin there, but navy blue is going to be most of the colors there.

Now, there are some exceptions.

I know you're going to see red, you're going to see green, but those are very rare.

I talkabout regatta blazers and stuff in the article, so go check that out if that's what you wantto know about.

Now, the function, the function like I saidfalls between the suit jacket and the sports jacket.

Sporting events, weekend events, anytimethat a suit isn't appropriate, but you still want to dress it up with a blazer.

Now, whatcan you match with a navy blazer? This actually will apply to a sports jacket as well, butgray flannel trousers, chinos, jeans -- yes, jeans, you can actually pull it off.

You'realso going to see colored twill, cords.

There are a wide number of things.

Blazer jackets,it's not going to -- the big thing right here, it's not going to have to match, guys.

I know many of you guys are waiting for this,the buttons on a blazer jacket.

Normally, we're going to see gold, silver, mother-of-pearl.

The buttons usually stand out on a blazer.

Now, let's go to the sports jacket.

Let'slook at the word, sports jacket.

The idea was this was the sporting man's jacket.

Because of that, let's talk about the fit.

Remember I said that you shouldn't layer with a suit jacket.

Well, with the sports jacket,you can layer.

This is a sports jacket.

It's made from -- we've got a tweed fabric righthere and what's really nice about this is that I can actually wear a sweater underneath.

It's a little bit looser than some of my suit jackets, and that's the cool thing about asports jacket, is it's actually made to be worn out, to be a bit more rugged.

Nowadays, you're not going to see that asmuch, but that goes into the style and the function of the jacket.

So on the back ofthe jacket, sometimes we'll see pleats.

We'll see arm patches that actually -- well, oncethey're for a purpose.

Now, they're more for show.

We're also going to see ticket pocketoccasionally, so the ticket pocket goes right above the pocket right here and was for holdinga ticket.

We're also going to see on the lapels I talked about, this is a sports lapel whichis made to actually close up the jacket because if you're out hunting, you want to be ableto protect your upper chest and neck area.

We've talked about the fit.

We've talked aboutthe fabric.

I didn’t go -- there are a number of types of tweed.

I'm going to go into moreon this in the article and the infographic, but we're going to be thinking Donegal tweed,Harris tweed, Houndstooth.

You'll also see some solids in brown, green, gray, and blue.

Blue is pretty common and I like that especially if you go with something that is differentthan the navy and maybe bring in a bit of a pattern.

You will also see a wide rangeof checks and patterns in sports jackets.

This is where it gets to be a little bit offun.

Now, the function of a sports jacket, of allthe jackets, this is the most casual.

Don’t try to wear a sports jacket when a suit isrequired and a blazer isn't probably going to be the first odd jacket.

Now, odd jacketscover both sports jackets and blazers.

I would recommend definitely getting a sports jacketafter you have your first suit and then getting a blazer.

Hopefully you guys found this useful, again,a lot more information in the article and the infographic, which I've created to gowith this video.

Take care, gentlemen.

I'll see you in the next video.

Bye-bye.

TEDxAsheville - Adam Baker - Sell your crap. Pay your debt. Do what you love.

Hello.

Hi.

Today I want to challenge you.

I want to challenge youto answer a question.

The good news for youis that this question is actually simple.

The words in the questionare actually simple.

The bad news is for thousands of years, people have been trying to answerthis very same question for themselves.

People have dedicatedtheir lives to this question, they fought for this question, and sometimes, they had given their livesin defense of this question.

And the question is this:what does freedom mean to you? I'm not talking about likea dictionary definition of freedom.

I'm not talking about an academicor even an intellectual discussion about what freedom is.

I'm talking aboutwhat does it mean to you? What does it mean in your own life? I know first hand that this very questionhas the potential to change your life because it's the exact questionthat my wife Courtney and I asked ourselves three years ago.

It was a little of an awkward timingfor us to be talking about freedom.

It was the night we brought my daughterMilligan home from the hospital.

As new parents, we struggled for30,40 minutes, whatever it was, to try to get her to go to sleepin her new crib.

After that, we wandered like zombiesout to the kitchen table.

As we sat down, I turned to her and said, "You know, honey, I needto talk to you about something.

" (Laughter) Which I've learned,after five years of marriage, is that's the most terrible wayyou can possibly start a conversation.

(Laughter) And I said, "I want to talkto you about freedom.

" You can imagine what her expression was,and what her response was.

I can't repeat some of it here today.

But after we startedtalking more about it, we realized that the timingof the situation was actually in our favor.

Because if there was one thingwe were lacking at that point in our life, it was clarity.

It was the abilityto step back and analyze how we were living our life and whether that was congruentwith what we really wanted.

It started for us in our financial life.

Our financial life had degraded,I guess you could say, into a simple question.

And that's, "What item in our apartmentdo we want to upgrade next?" Have you ever had this discussion? "Do we need to upgrade the couch, or maybe we should save upand get a new kitchen table?" "Should we switch locationand just get a better apartment, or maybe let's just geta flatter TV and call it a day?" This was our financial life at that time.

And then, it should be no surpriseon what our debt looked like.

We were in our young 20s and not even counting the tremendousamount of student loans we carried; we're 18,000 dollars in consumer debt to start off our new marriageand as new parents.

We had four credit cards,we had store cards, we had two automobile loans.

We had a loan for the jewelryI bought to get married.

We had a loan from family.

I used to joke we were collecting loans, and that we had one for everythingexcept for our mortgage.

And guess what? We were house-shopping.

It was the most hectic time of our lives.

I'd just started in a new business,I was working 80 hours a week.

Courtney had just graduated from college, she was starting a classroomas a new teacher; there couldn't have beena more hectic time in our life.

And we were shopping for a mortgage? This didn't make sense.

As I stepped back, and I was giventhat clarity that night from bringing Milligan home - I saw it was because that wasthe next item on the script that we were living our life by.

It wasn't a script that we chose.

It was a script that chose us.

It chose us because we were unwillingto answer this question for ourselves.

If you're not willing to answerthis question in your life, there's somebody, a company,a person, a government, an entity that will be more than happyto answer this question for you.

You'll wake up one day and realize that you're living lifejust based on a script.

It goes a little something like this,and see if you guys can relate.

In elementary and middle school,we are taught how to be taught.

We learn how to learn better.

But we go on, we go to high-school,where grades start to matter, and if you get good gradesthrough high-school, you get to have the privilege of getting tens of thousandsof dollars in debt to go to college.

In college, you do a lot of stuff,and at the end of college, hopefully, you get this degree,this piece of paper, and with that comesthe promise of job security of a steady, decent-paying job.

After that, with that job, you can get an apartmentand fill it with stuff.

If you weren't ableto attract a mate in college, you surely can now,with your apartment full of stuff.

Two to three years later,you may have some kids, you may get a promotion,upgrade to a house.

You continue this cyclefor the next 30 or 40 years of your life, until you reachthe promised land, retirement, when all your hard work pays off.

There's nothinginherently wrong with this script unless you don't want it.

We recognized at that kitchen table that we were living lifebased on this default script, and we did not want it.

So we said, "What do we want?" That took some time to explore, but we figured outthat we wanted a clean slate.

We wanted to wipe awayall the crap that was in our life, that was in our apartment.

All of this acquisition of the next thing,the next new version.

We wanted to just wipe it all away, so we were going to sellall our stuff down to two backpacks, what we could carry with us.

We were going to pay offthe 18,000 dollars in consumer debt that represented our mostirresponsible spending, and we were going to spend the yearbackpacking Australia as a young family.

That was our passionate goal that we set.

One year later, my wife Courtneytook this picture.

This is me and my daughter Milligan.

She's three and a half now,she's one in this picture.

We're sitting on a plane, in the runwayin Indianapolis, Indiana.

The year between the kitchen tableand this picture was a tough one.

We had to analyze a lot of thingsand look inside at a picture of ourselves that wasn't the onewe wanted people to see, it wasn't the one that we projected.

We had to change a lot of habits,a lot of beliefs in order to get there, but we were able to do it.

When we boarded this plane, we had two backpacksand full of possessions to our name, and none of the 18,000 dollarsthat we started with.

And we were on our way to Australia.

>From Indianapolis, we head to Chicago,from Chicago to L.

A.

; lay over in LA, we head to Sydney.

>From Sydney, we went upto Cairns, Australia, which is a city that is just offthe coast of the Great Barrier Reef - Twenty-eight consecutive hoursof flying with a one-year-old.

(Laughter) I'd show you some picturesof what we looked like when we landed, but we made a marital pact that no living humanwould ever see those pictures.

(Laughter) But I will show youone more picture from our travels.

I'd like to just sit up hereand show you a slide-show, but I'm just going to show youone more, and it's this one.

Again, taken by my wife who, you can see, is a great photographer.

This was off the coast of Townsville,three to four weeks into our trip.

It's a little islandcalled Magnetic Island.

On Magnetic Island,we were staying at a little B&B after taking a ferry to get out there.

We went on an about 30-minute hike, and through the hike, we sawwallabies running across the path, a koala, a mum and a baby koala in a tree.

It was like we were in a movie almost.

When we got to the top of the hike, we looked out overthis isolated beach that was private, and it just really hit me.

It's a feeling I hadn't felt before,but it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I realized that we were living our dream.

Don't get me wrong, there was a long list of thingswhere we had no idea what we were doing, even at this point,while traveling, especially with a kid.

We were still learning and exploring.

But for better or worse,for the ups and downs, we were the ones writing the script; we were the oneswho were finally in control of our life.

I realize not everyone in this crowd wants to sell their stuffand backpack in Australia.

That was our definition of freedomthree years ago.

It's even changed now.

But what I do know is that you need to definewhat freedom looks like in your life, and you need to take stepsstarting today to realize that.

Where does it start for most people? It starts right here, with your crap.

Look at the crap, it's almost overflowing! It's almost overflowing into the carsthat are in the driveway.

Right now, it maybe seemslike an extreme example, but the more I think about it.

How many of you have friends that have garages, or spare bedrooms,or junk drawers, or closets that look not too far away from this? It's really not even that extreme.

It's almost more of the norm.

But I have a question for you: what happens when this personloses their job? What happens when they're offereda better job in a different city? What happens when they need to adapt either physically,emotionally, financially, to any situation that comes up in life? The answer is at best they're restricted.

They're held back, they're clogged,they're congested from adapting to any sort of change because of the amount of crapthey've brought into their life.

But we do have an out;we have a little, neat trick that we do if we have to makea transition with all this crap: we put it here.

(Laughter) Do you realize we've been creating an entire multi billion dollar industryaround storing our old crap so we can make a transitionand buy new crap? (Laughter) Think about it.

Right now, there's 2.

2 billionsquare feet of storage space in the United States alone.

This is mind-blowing.

Every man, woman, and childcould stand shoulder-to-shoulder just like this, under covered storage spaceif we had to, in the United States.

So, what's the deal? Why are we so obsessedwith buying new stuff yet so reluctant to hold onto our old stuff? How have we bought in to this addiction? I think it's becausewe've been sold a myth.

The myth isthat acquiring things in our life, in the pursuit of a living environmentfilled with things is going to grant us security.

Most of us take it so far even to sayit's going to grant us happiness.

And in the pursuit of these things,we start to identify with our things.

You can tell who's successful,and who's not.

You can tell who's hip and who's not.

You can tell whose garages look likethe picture we had before, and whose don't.

So we start to really identify ourselveswith our physical things.

But the truth that we realized, and that most people end up waking upand realize at one point in their life is that more stuff, and certainly,more crap in your life, isn't going to grant you security, and it's certainlynot going to grant you happiness.

In fact, we foundthe exact opposite to be true.

As Courtney and I went to selllayers and layers of our stuff, as we were planning to go on this trip, I'm often asked a common question,and that question is, "Did you guys sell anythingthat you regret?", "Did you ever sell anythingthat you had to buy back?", or, "Did you ever sell anythingyou were just disappointed, and you had to get back?" And every time I'm asked this questionwhen I get to share my story, I try to genuinely think about it.

I'm even thinking about it right now.

And the answer is always the same, "No.

" Not a single item.

Not a single time that I sold something, and I'd be like, "Man,I regret that decision.

" Not a single time that I sold an item,I'd go, "I feel so insecure right now.

" (Laughter) It was the opposite.

As we sold layersof our crap, we realized, and we felt the weightbeing lifted off of us.

We felt more flexible, more agile, easier to bounce backfrom anything negative that was going to come into our life.

We were more freeto capitalize on opportunity.

We weren't held backby our physical possessions any longer.

Not only that but we startedto look at other people and realized that these people's identityis not based on their stuff.

Their identity should be basedon their experiences.

It's not about collectingexpensive stuff or nice stuff, it should be aboutcollecting rich experiences.

We should identify with peopleand identify with ourselves based on a series of experiencesin our life, not what we own.

But I want to talk to you a little moreabout the American dream as well.

We're all familiarwith the American dream, and it's not even that American anymore,it's all over the world.

There's this ideathat if you work really hard, you're able to buyinto this fantastic lifestyle.

That much is still true.

As much as I've outlined and suggested that consumerism is a problemfor most of us, and it is, if the equation stayed this linear,stayed this simple, it would be easy to deal with.

You want more money, what do you do? You buy less.

You want to switch jobs or work less? You buy less.

Sounds simple, almost too simple.

And it really is.

But over the last 20 or 30 years,we've played a little trick on ourselves.

We've added in a piece to this puzzlethat makes it much more vicious.

We've found a way, that we no longerhave to work hard before we buy, we no longer have to workfor that lifestyle; we can just tap right into it.

And of course, you knowwhat I'm talking about - it's debt.

So we buy; in order to buythat fabulous lifestyle without working for it,we all go into debt.

We do this at a young age,we do this at an old age - it's the norm.

Debt has been aroundfor thousands of years in some form or another.

But we've perfected itin the last 20 or 30 years.

We've perfected the daily use of it.

We've perfected itfor everyday activities.

What that does iswe're out to buying that lifestyle and our justification for this- and we're good at justifying it - is we're going to be going to workso we'll just buy into this lifestyle now, and then we'll pay offour debt, as we work.

So it keeps us going back to work.

That would be great if we liked our jobs.

Most of us don't like our jobs.

In fact, most of usstrongly dislike our jobs.

We don't have the flexibility to switchbecause we got into debt.

Not only we have to pay the bills now,we have to pay our debt.

So we go back working longerand harder hours at jobs we already hate.

Is there a better equationfor stress on the planet than spending the majorityof your waking hours working a job you hate to pay debtfrom a buying decision you made years ago? It's no wonder we're stressed out.

It's no wonder we're overworked.

How do we deal with that stress? There's two waysmost of us deal with that stress: we eat, and we buy.

We escape the daily grind by buying.

We deserve it, we work hard.

That's how we justify it.

Some of us buy clothes,some of us buy gadgets, most of us buy vacations to warm placesjust to escape our jobs.

But we didn't have moneyin the first place.

That's why we're in debt.

So how do we pay for this escape?With more debt.

And you can see that this isa snowball, it's a cycle that has millions of you trapped,millions of us trapped all over the world.

My message for you today is that your life is too importantto stay trapped in this cycle.

Nigel Marsh had a TED talk in Sydney, and he summed this upmuch better than I can.

He said, "There are thousandsand thousands of people out there living lives of quiet,screaming desperation working long, hard hours,at jobs they hate, to buy stuff they don't needto impress people they don't like.

" (Laughter) When I first heard him say thisin his own TED talk, it almost knocked the wind out of me.

It actually almost hurts to repeat thisbecause it's so true.

But I want you to imagine.

Imagine what your life would be like, how much more fulfillingyour life would be if starting today, you made a commitment to start collecting experiencesand not things.

I want you to imagine how much more opportunityand flexibility would be in your life if you removed the stressand the weight of your debt.

I want us all to sit here and imagine how much morean impactful world we would live in if each and every one of usgot to wake up in the morning not because our alarm clock went off but because we were excitedabout dedicating ourselves to work we loved,to a job we actually enjoyed, to a business that was basedon our passions.

The problem is complex,but the solution is very simple.

Remove the excessthat is holding you back.

Remove the crap from you life.

Remove the daily relianceon debt from your life, and you'll be more free to start doingwork that you actually care about.

That's the path to security.

That's the path to happiness.

One more observation that I have for you: do you realize that we're the freest peoplein the history of mankind? Do you realize that you walk amongst the freest human beingsto ever walk the Earth? What are you doing with that freedom? How are you utilizing this amazing giftthat you've been given? It starts by answering one question: what does freedom look like to you? It's the answer to this question, your own unique answer to this questionthat has the power to change your life.

It's your own unique answerto this very question that has the potential to change the worldif you'll step up and let it.

So my challenge for you today is to go outand find your answer to this question and when you do,that will be an idea worth sharing.

Thank you.

(Applause).
