I am in my late 60s….I am retired Navy Officer and a retired federal LEO. I’m in the process of “decluttering, downsizing, etc”. I like my BYLT Everyday Pants 2.0, Western Rise Evolution Pants, my Prana Repeater Tencel Sun hoodies, my Thousand Miles Shorts, my BYLT Lux T-shirts. Winter? My Western Rise Diversion Pants, my Navy flight jackets, my Arcteryx jackets, and some Kuhl Quarter Zips. Your points are “spot on”. But merino products? In travel, with hotel and campground laundromats….just don’t seem to last. But I’ll give Outward Bound a look. I wore uniforms for almost 5 decades….my closet today is becoming ALL easy-care, slim fitting….(I still work hard to stay in shape)…and I need them to be folded tightly and arrive “wherever” still looking good! Good video, brother…Bravo-Zulu……very well done!

Odie Matthews, As an avid traveler these are great recommendations for traveling / doing the tourist thing all day in any city on earth w/o looking like a tourist. Merino tees & polos, unbranded clothing, no white sport socks and leave the Jordan’s at home.

Awesome review as always! Our Traveler tee (the one in the video) is actually made with 70% Ultra fine Merino Wool and 30% Tencel (Eucalyptus fiber)! :)

I got the Unbound Merino Wool Women's Capsule Wardrobe and I really love it.

That arcade belt is great - I have it in black and brown. I wish the logo was on the inside though -companies need to follow the lead of others like Uniqlo, Outlier, and Western Rise's

Hey Odie, i dont know why you dont get more views. im personally learning a lot from your reviews. keep up the great work!

Do the WR video! Got a bunch of questions on some of the pants from there

Already working on getting more! Just ordered the evolution pant and Merino button up 🤙🏻

Planning to travel minimalist. Is merino wool worth buying today we have pandemic and not washing it for weeks or month?

Yes! It sounds gross but I rarely have to wash mine because of stink, usually wash just because I feel like I should after a certain amount of time

Merino Wool clothes are not itchy. They are soft and comfortable

How do you feel about the Seadon shirt? I'm looking at their pre-orders and interested in getting one.

Honestly they're not bad but I would go with Western rise. Since this video has come out they have become my favorite brand for clothing. Almost my entire closet is made up of them.

@@OdieMatthews btw, I meant to mention that you should try Uniqlo. They have a lot of quality thing for decent price. I travel a lot and I mostly own their stuff. Try Airism, heathtech, and their dry-package t-shirts. They have a lot of nice things.

Oh awesome. I'm always down to try new brands. I'll definitely grab a few from them to try out! Thanks for the shout.

Do a Western Rise video. I haven't heard of Western Rise.

Are the wool shirts itchy?

You should ask your girlfriend to make a list of travel clothing for the ladies.

I can definitely ask her. Unfortunately the love for travel and bags is not mutually shared 😂
