Break(Down)
Now that I’ve started off this post with one of the worst puns of all time, let’s begin. There are three types of down that we have to become comfortable with first. Natal down, body down and powder down (yes, the word down will begin to lose all meaning soon. Please bear with me.) Natal…

Flannel’s Law(s)
Every man, regardless of where they live, where they work or what their “ideal aesthetic”is, should own at least one flannel. It’s the workhorse of the modern-man’s wardrobe, being accessible in so many cuts and finishes that it would be impossible to have a men’s blog and fail to mention the myriad of options that…

2020: Last Minute Gifts for the Modern Man
I know that we only have 6 days left until Christmas, but I figured that it wasn’t quite *too* late to write a quick little gift guide for the men in our lives. However, this isn’t the same sort of manly gift guide that a lot of other places will attempt to sell. I love…

Particular Pieces – Denim Jackets
If there’s something that’s more quintessentially American as a good, broken-in denim jacket, I haven’t found it yet. There’s just something so satisfying about putting a cute outfit together and tossing on a light jacket because the leaves are turning colors and some cute boy asked you to go pick apples with him at the…

Outfit: The Escape Of A Long-Forgotten Book
One of my truest passions is finding old, vintage books. There’s something about the smell of old pages that have had dozens of hands reading through them, the occasional pen marks when a previous owner found something worth noting and the wonderful surprise of finding a new gem where countless others have searched.

Particular Pieces – Luxury Sweaters
Recently my family and I started watching Schitt’s Creek, and it’s quickly become a family obsession. We love the writing for the characters, the story of redemption and – though the rest of my family doesn’t see the same appeal as me – the sweaters that David Rose (played by Daniel Levy) wears throughout the…

Masculinity + Rage
When I started this blog I titled it “Rewriting Masculinity” partly because of my interest in fashion (and making it more outwardly acceptable for men of all types to enjoy fashion) and partly because there’s a massive problem with the way that we define masculinity in the modern day. In the first couple posts I…

Instagram Outfit: 10/29/2020
So recently I was afforded the amazing opportunity to do a paid photoshoot for a company called Untied on Woodward, based out of Birmingham, Michigan. They exclusively work in menswear, and stock a wide array of brands and styles that fit any modern man’s wardrobe. It had come about from a text that a close…

New Obsessions: Tenden
I was in Grand Haven at Aldea Coffee, enjoying a cup of coffee at and a wonderful catch-up session with one of my best friends, when an incredibly friendly barista caught a couple words of our conversation and recommended this small, unassuming menswear boutique very closely to where we were sitting. After a short but…

Instagram Outfit: 10/13/2020
I want to do something different. Yes, again. It’s fall, the leaves are turning colors, and it’s finally cold enough for me to break out the cardigans. That being said, this blog is finally turning into what I wanted it to be when I started off writing. Oh also, since I’m not like, a “legit”…
