Guess I don't need to read this….
As an enthusiast, I went ahead and geeked out on it anyway.

Last week, I received tenure at my college. That means I have greater job security and a better title for my office. It's also nice to be done with the process as it was very in-depth. I still am having nightmares about it.
Huge achievement, good for you and your family!

Over the last few weeks I've recorded a Podcast with Albert Imperato… You might know him on Instagram as @UpstateGuyStyle. Him and I created this Podcast to talk about men's lifestyles and issues, specifically centered around communication and connection. Give a listen if you'd like. The first two episodes are up and pretty light. We talk about Iron Heart and our love of denim and rugged style. What's coming soon is more of the heavier topics. Hope you enjoy!

This article, entitled the death of denim, opens with the question, "When did you last buy a pair of jeans?"

Oh my goodness that was poor. Uninformed, badly written and very silly indeed. I had a good laugh.

Well that does it, I’m off to burn my IH collection in favor of an H&M tracksuit.

Yes, "slip yourself into something sparkly." ???
Is that a pistol in your harem pants or are you just happy to see me?

I skimmed the whole article but didn't have to read much past the first paragraph. Once I saw the brands the author was writing about it was clear his knowledge hits a wall at anything beyond fast fashion. When all you know is following trends of course it would look like jeans are dying at the moment….. But they'll come back around. That's fast fashion.
And good for all those 'men' embracing their true selves and buying 'fashionable' sweatpants. I bet it feels great to be yourself and not be just another sheep in the flock*.
*Denotes heavy sarcasm.

Agreed ^
The funny thing about it is the way he was referencing popular culture and fashion icons, then throwing around phrases like metrosexual, to justify buying block coloured sweatpants from H&M and declare the death of denim. I am not overly attune to the world of fashion and menswear beyond this forum and niche but in the last 30 years I’ve seen The Death of Denim declared at least four times.

"today’s men are expressing themselves with a higher level of aesthetic openness than at any other point in history."
The 70s would beg to differ…

Even skimming that dreck was painful.
We're exceptional in how much we care about jeans, but not in that we wear jeans. Maybe the writer's world is different, but almost all of the fellas I hang out wear a lot of jeans.
