So here's the first one. The plan for here is going to be a blog for denim, boots, various men's fashion nonsense, finding ethically sourced and sustainably made clothing, and my thoughts on how to put all that together into an outfit I feel good about.

While I don't really want this to be about me (see the face) I'm obviously going to be pretty heavily featured (everything from the neck down).

To start off, I've had an absolute bitch of a time finding anything that fits. I'm 6'4" with long arms and big, fucked up hands. That makes tees, shirts, jackets, rings, and watches all difficult to size and feel good about.

The upside to how shitty I felt about getting dressed for so long is I've spent absolutely boatloads of money finding things that do fit, that we made ethically and with quality in mind, and that I can figure out how to wear easily.

I have absolutely no audience in mind writing this so hopefully I keep it up, I find a voice that feels authentic, and this goes somewhere other than the graveyard all other Jan 1 projects go to.

Lastly the clothes themselves

Jacket: Rogue Territory Sashiko Jacket (XXL)

Hoodie: ASRV of some sort (XL Long)

Pants: Edgevale Cast Iron Pants (34)
