The Best Shit We Got All Year: 2014 in Review

2014_Best_Shit_0
Here at Well Spent, we don’t just write about responsibly-made men’s clothes and accessories, we buy them too (or we’re gifted them). So, Nick and I decided to close out the year than by counting down our top 5 gets of 2014. But before we do, I just wanted to thank everyone for reading, commenting, sharing, and doing all of the other things that justify the existence of this website. There wouldn’t be a Well Spent without you, and Nick and I dearly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Same goes to our wonderful advertisers as well; your support is appreciated beyond words. With that said, here’s the best shit we got all year.

Westerlind Felt Hat – Two words: Tommy Ton. He liked it, even if you didn’t. That’s all that matters. Well, I guess that and my wife, but luckily she liked it too.

Muttonhead Wool Baseball Pants – The you-can’t-call-them-sweatpants-because-the-quality-is-too-good-sweatpants.

Beautiful Fül BF Raw Hem Sweatshirt – Quite possibly my favorite purchase of 2014. Heavy cotton with a little longer length on it, it’s just so beautiful…fül.

Cadet Camo Jacquard Aviator Jacket – Camo may be on its way out, but this particular camo is near and dear to my heart, since it’s a print Engineered Garments used a few years back. Slap it on a bomber jacket with double-zips and you can’t tell me shit because I am it.

Engineered Garments x Odin Flannel Workshirt – OK, this is cheating because it isn’t available anymore, but it’s by FAR my favorite shirt that I own. EG made it extra long for Odin, and I removed the collar for cool points (I have a ton of them now).

Yellow108 Luke Fedora – US-made, winter-weight, great size and shape; pretty much the perfect hat.

Common Projects BBall Low Sneakers – I’m not going to pretend like I can justify the incredibly high price point on these, but I still love ’em.

Anvil US980 T-Shirts – A US-made, slim-fit, baby-butt soft, tube-tee for (well) under $10. You just can’t mess with that.

Foreign Rider Co. Sweatshirts – Like I wrote last week, “when you put on a FR sweat or tee for the first time, you really can feel the difference.”

Buck Mason Slim Fit Jeans – The best fitting pair of jeans I’ve ever owned, period.
