C03 Men’s Carhartt Duck Traditional Coat/Arctic Quilt Lined Review
C03 Men’s Carhartt Duck Traditional Coat/Arctic Quilt Lined Review
Chest nuts roasting on an open fire
It’s so hard to find a Coat that is both really warm, and really stylish. At least in my experience it’s hard to find something like this. Anytime i buy a Coat it’s usually so stylish that it should just be a sweatshirt. It let’s wind inside, and it doesn’t do its job by keeping me warm. This is really annoying, sure i look nice but when i get the flu it won’t matter what I’m wearing. I have always searched for a Coat that will keep me so warm that i think it’s Miami wherever i am, and looks like something i could wear with a designer pair of jeans.
Most designers don’t put into account that their products may look really cool, but they just don’t do what their purpose is. In case you’ve forgotten the purpose of a Coat is to keep you warm during cold days.
One designer that hasn’t forgotten this rule is Carhartt. They make a super stylish coat, but better then that they make a coat that can be worn during the coldest days in January. Most of their coats look like they would have to be accompanied by a pair of Red wings, and a pair of bibs.
Carhartt has really impressed me with its Men’s Duck Traditional Coat with Arctic Quilt Lining.
Earlier i expressed how important having a coat that will keep you warm is. The Men’s Duck Coat is top of the line when it comes to keeping the wearer warm all day and night long. This Coat is Arctic Quilt lined, and just as the name already suggests is suitable to be worn in Arctic. The Arctic is one of the coldest places on Earth, so this Coat will be more then suitable for those frigid Chicago nights.
You will roast while wearing this coat
Besides staying warm though, i mentioned that style is a big factor in my purchase of a Coat. The Men’s Duck Traditional Coat has a traditional look but it looks modern enough to be worn with almost anything. The Coat comes in three different colors that can help any outfit out:
- Black
- Carhartt Brown
- Dark Navy
These colors will match any pair of jeans, and just about any shoes that you decide to wear.
While wearing this Coat exercise extreme caution, because it’s going to keep you really warm wherever you are. If you walk into a department store you’re probably going to end up taking it off because of the heat.
Unless
You see your reflection in the mirror, you’re going to take the heat and continue wearing this Coat.
It looks that good.

Jail-Break
Aren’t shoes really restricting?
I mean for the most part shoes, and sneakers are just really restricting. If you really think about it they are bondage for our feet. When we wear shoes, we are locking our feet into a prison. Only allowing them out for small periods of time, based on good behavior of course.
Isn’t about time that we as the wardens of our personal feet institutions initiated a jail break?
Well Puma really thought so when they released their Puma Women’s Sabadella Sneaker, which is more like a slipper than a sneaker. This is the key to open the cell to where your feet are being kept. These sneakers, and i say that lightly are going to completely change your life.
Your feet will breathe so much better, and in turn will thank you for letting them out of that dark, damp, dirty jail cell.
What makes these ’sneakers’ so different?
The are super lightweight. This is why it’s so difficult for me to describe these as sneakers, and not slippers. They fit and feel like a slipper. The only major difference is that the bottoms of these are more solid then a slipper, so you will have better grip while walking around for long periods of time.
The Women’s Sabadella Sneaker is made of a synthetic upper, and mesh body for easy flexibility while walking. These shoes fit true to size, but will stretch a little bit for a little extra feet room. Remember we’re trying not to confine our feet anymore. It’s time to let the prisoner go.
The velcro strap on the front of the Sabadella is not only really chic looking, but it’s there for extra support. In case you have to chase a taxi, or cute boy down this strap will ensure that the shoe is going to stay on your foot. i said we were letting our feet out of prison, that doesn’t mean we’re moving them to a nudist colony.
Puma has really thought of it all, this sneaker has a set of rubberized spikes on the bottom for extra support and traction. The cushy padding insole will make you feel like you’re walking on two big fluffy pillows all day long.
Right now for a limited time you can pick a pair of these up on endless.com for only $32.50
The Women’s Sabadella SL Sneaker are your key to the locks we’ve put on our feet.
Let them free!

J149 Men’s Carhartt Thermal-Lined Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirt
One more for the collection
One of the most universal items in my closet is my collection of hoodies. It’s always good to find a hoodie that you can depend on no matter what the occasion. However, it’s hard to find a hoodie that you can depend on no matter what. There is one brand that makes an amazing hooded sweatshirt.
That brand is Carhartt
Carhartt makes a variety of different types of hoodies, hoodies for the summer, hoodies for the winter, hoodies galore. All of Carhartt’s hoodies are made with the best resources available to men and are made for a long shelf life. They are made for some of the most intense situations that you could quite possibly face. They are actually made to be worn for hard outside labor, but this doesn’t always have to be the case.
Carhartt is a brand known for a series of things other then durability, they are also known for a stylish and comfortable garment. I have a few different styles of Carhartt Hooded Sweat Shirts, but my all time favorite one is the Men’s Thermal Lined Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirt.
The Men’s Thermal-Lined Hooded Sweatshirt is great for a series of reasons, first and foremost is that it’s got a thermal lining. The thermal lining is great for those cold days where you don’t want to wear a jacket outside. This lining is Carhartt’s thinnest lining and one of the softest linings they make. This lining makes this hoodie able to be worn for 3 seasons, instead of just one.
The color options for the Men’s Thermal Lined Hooded Sweatshirt are fantastic, and as follows:
- Black
- Carhartt Brown
- Charcoal Heather
- Independence Red
- Navy
- Orange
These colors are all very nice tones, and they look great with anything you wear. They are unique looking, and for the most part make a really noticeable pop. The hoods on the sweatshirt are the exact same shade as the entire body of the garment.
There’s always a chance that your hands can get cold, but the Men’s Thermal-Lined Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirt has two hand warmer pockets on the front of it. So you can warm your hands up while staying warm throughout your entire body. The Carhartt logo is proudly sewn on the the left pocket of this sweatshirt.
I found this place where you can get these sweatshirts for only $59.99, it’s this website called newyorkworkwear.com

B11 Carhartt Men’s Washed Duck Work Dungaree Review
A pleasant surprise
For my birthday a close family friend of mine sent me a package. It showed up in a box from a place called newyorkworkwear.com. The package was an ordinary wrapped, fed ex box with my address and name on a sticker on the top of the box. I wasn’t entirely sure what the contents of the box contained, so i decided to bring it in to my apartment.
I opened the box up and inside of it was a pair of pants. Not any ordinary pants though, these pants looked different. They also felt different, as i lifted them out of the box i could feel how durable they were. There was a note taped to the pair of pants, it read:
“Hello, Happy birthday, this year i decided to get you something practical. Something that every man needs. A pair of Carhartt Men’s Washed Duck Work Dungaree’s. You should find these comfortable, and durable. Best Wishes.”
I was unfamiliar with the brand Carhartt, and i wasn’t sure If i was crazy about the idea of wearing these pants. I decided to try them on though, they were in a Dark Brown color, i was impressed that he remembered my favorite color. At least that’s the assumption i made when i saw that they were brown.
He even got the size right, a 36 waist and 32 length. I decided to put them on, and take a picture to send to him. That way he could see that i appreciated them even if i didn’t.
As i pulled them up they fit great, they felt good, and best of all they looked really good on me. I was honestly surprised by how comfortable the Men’s Washed Duck Work Dungaree’s fit. They fit right below my natural waist, which was how i usually wore my pants.
I looked in the mirror and saw something i hadn’t seen when i first picked the Duck Work Dungaree’s out of the box, they had multiple pockets on both legs for easy accessibility to any items that i would wish to carry through my day.
I decided to see how the pants looked over a pair of sneakers, and to my surprise they complimented each other well.
I was truly and genuinely happy that someone thought of me to this degree and purchased me something of this caliber for my birthday.
He left the price-tag on the pants and they weren’t very expensive at only $37.99.
I decided to check out this newyorkworkwear.com site for myself
I ordered a few more Carhartt items.

Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (Black) Review
Epic Tale of a Keyboard
There is no world comparable to the virtual world. The virtual world is one that has been created for a series of reasons, entertainment, luxury, and fun. The possibilities are endless when it comes to joining a virtual world. You can socialize with people, adventure through caves, shoot your friend in the face with a rocket launcher, or solve puzzles. These are all possible situations in a virtual world, a man made existence.
If you want to be completely satisfied in one of these worlds, you need the most State of the Art equipment. There’s no feeling like losing a battle because your computers hardware gave out, or your internet connection isn’t strong enough. Any gamer will tell you that two aesthetic pieces that you need when joining a virtual world are a Keyboard, and a mouse. Not just any typical stock mouse and keyboard though, one’s that are made specifically for gaming.
I am a gamer, and as a gamer i have purchased my necessary keyboard and mouse. I do not lose battles, because i have the best equipment. Your keyboard and mouse are your sword and shield, or rifle and knife. They are necessities on the battle field.
The keyboard that i purchased is the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard.
This keyboard is currently the best gamer keyboard on the market right now. It is perfect for any type of game, that any gamer may play. It has been designed specifically for the most hard core gamers. Most all sponsored gamers, use this keyboard when they are competing in matches.
The one, but not the only thing that the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard offers that other keyboards do not, is it’s LCD display. The LCD display is great because it shows the important things about the game you’re playing. In some games it shows statistics, others it shows servers your friends are in, and when not playing a game it tells you your volume level, and who is speaking in ventrilo as well as your system information.
All of the keys on this keyboard are backlit in a bright orange color. You can choose from three levels of brightness for your keys, which help a great deal during those long night dungeon raids, where you just can’t give up on your companions.
The Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard has 6 programmable macro keys to the left of your typical “asdf”. This is awesome, for having more functions, and easy accessibility to those attacks and spells that are necessary to win the battle against your arch-nemesis.
The only complaint i have against my Logitech G15 is that it doesn’t have a volume down wheel like my old keyboard had, so turning the volume down with a button takes some getting used to. I do like that when you turn the volume down with the G15 it shows on the LCD display.
Overall I’m very satisfied with this keyboard, it has increased my game play greatly. No matter what game, this keyboard helps out greatly in destroying evil.
amazon.com has this for the cheapest i’ve seen yet, $64.95

J140 Carhartt Men’s Duck Active Jacket (Quilted Flannel Lined) Review
J140 Carhartt Men’s Duck Active Jacket (Quilted Flannel Lined) Review
Duck, Duck, Goose.
Carhartt is known for so much, but its mostly known for its high standard, and high quality products. A company that has been around over 100 years knows a thing or two about manufacturing an excellent product. They take pride in being able to distribute the most durable, comfortable, and stylish work wear on the entire planet.
This reputation didn’t happen over night, Carhartt worked very hard on building the reputation that they have today. The way that they built this reputation is by satisfying just about everyone, by listening to what they needed in work wear and thus providing them with exactly what it was that they needed.
One of Carhartt’s most popular items is the Men’s Duck Active Jacket with Quilt Flannel lining. This Jacket has been a popular Carhartt item for many years, and they just keep producing it. The Carhartt Men’s Active Jacket is available in some very dynamic colors:
- Black
- Carhartt Brown
- Dark Navy
- Red
The color Red is a recent addition to this already amazing jacket, and i have to say that I’m glad it’s finally here. The red is a very nice touch to this classic jacket. The traditional color that the Men’s Duck Active Jacket comes in is Carhartt brown.
This Jacket is perfect for any blistering cold weather you may end up facing. The Quilted Flannel is the 2nd thickest layer that Carhartt offers so you know that while wearing this jacket the cold wind isn’t even going to affect you. This will make it possible to work an entire day without taking a break to warm up.
The sleeves of the Men’s Duck Active Jacket are lined with quilted nylon, this is a little less thick then the flannel, but will still hold up in those very cold days out on the job.
The Men’s Duck Active Jacket comes with a fully insulated hood. This hood not only fits the jacket for the kind of style it is, but it also un-snaps so you don’t have to wear it everyday. You also have the option of being able to attach a different kind of Carhartt hood if you’re unhappy with the stock one.
The Men’s Duck Active Jacket is one of Carhartt’s oldest items that they still sell, the style of the jacket is still classic like it’s always been.
Only slight upgrades have been made to this Jacket.
This is the perfect Jacket for someone who already wears Carhartt, or is getting into Carhartt.
I found it for only $69.99 on newyorkworkwear.com

Avenue Six Slick Cube Occasional Table Review
Avenue Six Slick Cube Occasional Table Review
Not quite a table for coffee
I recently purchased a new piece of furniture for my home. I like to have unique, designs that compliment my home really well. I like to have furniture that makes people really wonder what it is, and what it does. You could say i like to camouflage my furniture, so it bewilders anyone that see’s it. Making it a topic of conversation.
I like bright, loud colors. I prefer to have a post modern feel when it comes to purchasing my appliances or furniture. I like my tables, dressers, and couches to look like they belong in a post modern museum.
Recently i was looking for something along these lines for my apartment. Something that could fit my category of appearances. I needed a new coffee table desperately, because my old glass one shattered one night. I didn’t want something that could become hazardous to the people around me, or act like a time bomb that i wouldn’t be able to predict.
I decided to shop on amazon.com for a new coffee table and I’m glad i did. Amazon.com not only has the best prices, and customer service when it comes to online purchasing, but it also has the widest variety of products on the internet.
While visiting amazon.com i found one of the coolest pieces of furniture that would accent my already hip apartment. The coffee table that i ended up purchasing is the Avenue Six Slick Cube Occasional Table. These tables come in a wide variety of colors, most of which were unheard of in coffee tables that I’ve seen.
What i found was the coolest aesthetic to these tables, they are stack-able. You can buy a series of them and stack them however you like, they are still very stable and able to be used as a normal coffee table. They look really cool, stacked up in multi colors, unlike any coffee table out there.
The Avenue Six Slick Cube Table is constructed of the highest grade plastic. This was important to me for the safety measure. My old coffee table exploded on me, and the clean up was such a headache. I was trying to deter this from happening again.
The Avenue Six Slick Cube Occasional Table has a see-through design as well as four side openings for easy storage area access.
Amazon.com has each of these tables for only $112.00
This is perfect for anyone that likes to have a unique, hip look in their apartment or office.
Oh and don’t worry it does hold coffee.
B175 Carhartt Men’s Hamilton Pant Review
B175 Carhartt Men’s Hamilton Pant Review
We only shop Carhartt now
Recently, my husband was looking for some pants that were stylish, comfortable and durable. He does labor work, on the weekends with my father who is a contractor. He does a series of things while working, he paints, builds fixtures, and uses heavy duty tools. He’s one of those hands on type of men.
He would usually end up having to wear a pair of his good jeans or khaki pants when he would work with my father, and when he would get home you could see that his pants were not going to be worn for anything else ever again. This is unfortunate because he wears expensive designer brands like Levis, and Dockers. These pants are not made for hard work, they’re made for business meeting or days out with the family.
I started looking to see what i could find to figure out a reasonable solution for this problem, and when i google searched “Durable work wear” the brand Carhartt came up. I clicked the link on a website called Newyorkworkwear.com because it said it was America’s favorite Carhartt shop. I instantly clicked the category pants, and found a lot of different types of work pants. My husband is very particular about the kind of pants that he will wear, even though they would be for working I knew he would want something casual yet stylish.
The Carhartt Men’s Hamilton Pants are what really stood out to me. As i looked at them i could already see the change in my husbands facial expression and hear the subtle thank you come out of his mouth accompanied by a hug.
I decided to see if my intuition was correct and order these pants, on newyorkwear.com they were listed for $36.99. I didn’t even feel like looking elsewhere because that was a very low price already. I had a difficult time choosing the appropriate color because the Men’s Hamilton Pants come in the following colors:
- Dark Moss
- Golden Khaki
- Mushroom
After careful deliberation i decided to get him the Golden Khaki color, because he typically enjoys wearing his dockers. I felt i couldn’t go wrong with these. They were casual looking, but they were made for rough work. They had accessible pockets, for easy access to a multiple array of tools.
When they arrived my husband was very resistant at first (he’s stubborn) but after he put them on and felt how comfortable they were he decided that they would be perfect for working with my father.
We now only buy Carhartt pants, not just for work but also for casual wear.
The price is great, the quality is greater.
Global Decor Stainless Steel Chopsticks Review
Global Decor Stainless Steel Chopsticks Review
You don’t have to worry about termites
This is one of the coolest kitchen accessories that I have ever seen. It will make anyone’s eating experience better than ever before. I was looking on amazon.com just to see if they had anything that could supplement the standard silverware that i use everyday. This get’s boring and mundane, i like to have a unique approach to everything in my life including how i eat my rice and noodles.
This is why i got so excited when i saw that amazon.com had Stainless Steel Chopsticks. These chopsticks are typically found in every Korean home.
They are eccentric, fun, and functional
I found them for the low, and ridiculous price of $4.64 on amazon.com. This price includes a total of 8 chopsticks, a set of 4. This is much cheaper than some silverware that I’ve seen.
The Global Decor Stainless Steel Chopsticks are also constructed of the highest quality stainless steel, making them dishwasher safe. They don’t necessarily need to be washed in the dishwasher though, because they are so easy to clean.
These chopsticks take an approach on the ancient Asian world, and combine them with a more fashionable approach. Unlike bamboo or wood chopsticks these are going to have a very long shelf life, because they will not fall apart, stain, or splinter like the typical wood chopsticks.
This is great because there’s nothing worse than finding a piece of wood in your food, and possibly digesting it. That is not only unhealthy, but also very unsafe. With the Global Decor Stainless Steel Chopsticks the only thing you’ll be digesting is the food that you choose to eat with them.
They are so sleek, and light that they can be taken anywhere. You can take them on the town with you, and impress all of your friends when you whip them out and push the typical silverware to the side.
Watch how it’s done
There is one thing about the Global Decor Stainless Steel Chopsticks that i don’t like. They heat up very easily, so when you’re eating really hot food they sometimes get to hot to hold. I only experience this when i eat soup, and i prefer using a spoon for soup.
Other than soup, these are great for eating any types of food. Picking up noodles, rice, vegetables, and meat is so much easier and classier than using a typical fork-knife combination.
Overall this is a great investment for anyone that likes to have cool, hip, luxurious items in their kitchen arsenal.
At only $4.64 on amazon.com you can’t really go wrong either way, because if you end up hating them you can always use them as a;
Doorstop.
Taylor #8120 Digital Luggage Scale Review
Taylor #8120 Digital Luggage Scale Review
This is so necessary for anyone that travels
Let’s face it because of events that happened years ago, traveling has become an absolute nightmare. At least for me, the last place i want to go is the Airport, or even train station. This is especially annoying when you’re trying to move to another place, and you have no other choice but to fly or take the train.
There are a series of problems with traveling, other than price. Personally my biggest problem while traveling is figuring out if i have the appropriate weight limit that an airline carrier allows. There is nothing more embarrassing than packing one of your biggest suitcases full, standing on it to close it. Than when you get to the airport clearance, they inform you that you’re 2 lbs. over the allowed limit.
This leaves you with two options. Either you open the bag and decide what to leave behind, or you pay a needless transportation fee. I have found a possible solution to having your bags weigh over the allowed limit.
I was checking on amazon.com to see if there was a gadget to cure this problem. I found out that a company named Taylor makes a Digital Luggage Scale.
The digital luggage scale is so cool, because it’s small and accurate. Most people don’t have scales that can weigh their bags in their homes, and if they do they sometimes lie about how much weight is really in that bag. The airport scales are state of the art, and there will be no exceptions.
The Taylor Digital Luggage Scale has a LCD display on it’s face, that reads how much your bags weigh. It’s very simple, but very necessary. You simply clip the scale onto your handle and hold the scale in your hand, allowing the weight of your bag to come down on it. The item is durable enough for any bag up to 88 lbs.
If you exceed 88 lbs you’re not going to get that bag checked in anyways.
This is a device necessary for any person that travels a lot, or a perfect gift for someone that you know whom lives in the airport. You will save yourself, and the person you give this to such a headache.
No more stress before checking a bag in.
The Taylor Luggage Scale is only $19.29 on amazon.com
This is an unbeatable price
Weigh your bags accurately, and never pay a fee again.
