Charles Tyrwhitt Performance Shirt Review
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Месяц назад
Charles Tyrwhitt has become a staple in menswear during the Internet era. What started as a mail-order company in the UK in the 1980's has now become one of the most popular brands for men's shirts. Until somewhat recently, Charles Tyrwhitt did not produce any performance dress shirts - specifically shirts with comfortable "stretch" blends. This has changed as the company has (in recent months)...

    OMG! Thank you so much for this video! I was wandering around those passes that include the Vatican and other 'must see' places in Rome and was absolutely lost, so I tried to see how much would it be if we'd buy each ticket individually directly through the museum’s websites...but yeah the Vatican's website is a mess and there are no tickets to be seen. I am organizing my trip 3 months in advance and there are no tickets until the end of the year. You are awesome!Thank you so much!S2

    • @bradball
      @bradball 9 дней назад

      I used to think the same… as a guy with thunder thighs and big calves. However, many of the slim fit aren’t really “slim” per se…. it means the pants just taper slightly towards the ankle. If you’ve got comfortable performance pants with a stretch fabric… I’d actually recommend a slim fit for a big guy… unless you love that bell-bottom boot fit.

    Beautiful video! I am from Brazil and live in Norway. I collect nativities since 2001. Have more than a 1000. My husband suggested that I make videos showing them, I have been thinking about it and your video is a good inspiration. From the nativities that you shown, I have the same from Denmark, but I got it in Norway. And I have the same from Barcelona. I also bought it at the Sagrada Família shop. Most of my nativities are exposed throughout the year in 4 cupboards.

They’re my absolute favorite to wear and I bought a second pair to go out in the town with they’re honestly the best I’ve ever worn. I’m 6’2, 210lbs muscular male 44 years old. Pants were $25, $33 with shipping.

    It didn't happen at any of these places!! Biblically it happened on the Mount of Olives. Where he faced the Father while looking straight into the entrance of the temple. And his burial site is in Pater Noster Church not far from the crucifixion site!!

    @ASi-zp9yi 18 дней назад

    Hi! Do you go there often? If you do, could you please visit the Skull hill again, but this time climb up the hill itself. There is a Muslim cemetery on top of it called "A Sa'ira". That area must have similarities to round hill, since it's up on the hill too. But this is also close to the garden tomb.

    One suggestion: None of those pants (other than lululemon) are not available in a waist over 42, most only go to 40. That leaves out probably half the population of men over 35. Thanks, I too appreciate the thoroughness of the review.

    True! My parents had a live-in Filipino lady for years. She was part of our family. They are very hospitable. I used to sell real estate and worked every holiday. Filipino families would come invite me to come and celebrate with them. When I couldn't come, they would bring food to my office. If every one was this loving and gracious it would be a much better world.

    I say wait until you reach as you can compare travel agency amounts. I went on June 12, 2024 and paid 80 Euros. Next couple of days after, it ranged from 100 to 150 Euros. Everyone I asked who were keeners and booked prior paid 250 Euros +. My advice is not to prebook, but wait until you reach here to book all the tours because you can also bargain down as a competitor may be cheaper.

    It looks like your time was only spent downtown and a few adjacent areas (understandable as Chicago is huge). But those are absolutely the most expensive neighborhoods because of the tourist population (we gotta pay for the river walk and The Bean, so cough it up). There are also dozens and dozens of other neighborhoods with so many interesting places, quirks and incredible diversity. Restaurants and culture that you won’t find in such quantity in most US cities. And those are the places where prices are lower, yet still interesting. It’s for more of a casual vs whirlwind experience when time is available.

    • @bradball

      Thanks for your comment. It’s truly an amazing city… I have spent considerable time in the metro area (though not as much in recent years). My video was just touched in a small list… a proper review would literally take an hour or more. In the end… I’m a big fan of Chicago… and constantly mention it as one of my favorite cities in the USA.

    I would say as an Illinois raised Shytown gurl our best feature is our neighborhood feel despite the skyscrapers!! Chicago is built on onion field swamps, did you know they had to raise ALL the building inches to feet to install the sewer system of the existing city? Weather? Really? I moved from there to 30 below and six feet o snow over four days in Colorado. Shy town weather is ugly winters but oh well. Our public transportation system is world class bar none. Lived inner city, no car needed! She's called windy which has absolutely nothing to do with meteorology, rather it's all about politics. Better than red hots? (hot dogs) One MUST try Italian Beef before going vegan, amazing and ABSOLUTELY NO KETCHUP on anything. Worst of O'Hare? The car rental located practically in Indiana!! Shy town food, sports, lake front,... find a local (like my friend Gene) and he'd show you all the best for dead cheap. cheers! (Go Cubs!) PS. Ear plugs, we're 24/7!!!!!
