What Its All About...
"I give a d*mn about what brand you are, I'm concerned about what type of man you are, what your principles and standings are." - Mos Def.
Sitting in a diner with a couple of friends at 2am, the conversation turned to what men wear and why. I realized that I had in the couple of months leading up to this late night conversation, found myself caring more and more about what I put on in the morning. Matter of fact, I was actually "getting dressed" versus "throwing on clothes."
The next morning, I sat in front of my computer and started this journey, wanting to learn the basics of fit, tailoring, what made style so very different from fashion. Since then I've found that no, its not always true that "it ain't the brother that's in the suit, it's the suit that's on the brother." Quite the opposite in many regards. Three-piece suit or jumpsuit, our outward appearance as men speaks solidly to our brand, to what kind of man we are. Work Hard. Dress Well.

#HGRUSome of the coolest news can also be the most unexpected. Earlier this year, during a project meeting at work, I got a mobile alert from an IG pal letting me know that I was featured on GQ's Best-Dressed Readers of the Week list. It was one of those deals where I submitted a photo and promptly forgot about it.
<-----Then this happened. And it's happened five times so far. I'm taking it as a sign from above to keep pushing this thing. A Curated Man featured on TSBMen
When I first really got interested in dressing better, one of the first blogs I stumbled across was The Style Blogger, run by Dan Trepanier. I entered the February Readers Giveaway that's run on the site & didn't crack the top ten. Damn, right? Well, I get an email from Dan giving me a heads up about the Honorable Mentions page and wanting to know if I'd be interested in doing a Spring feature. Check it out here and,thanks to Dan and the team!
