      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.

                      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.

                            I thought exactly the same thing. I’m also thinking 17-18th century Europe was pretty expressive.

                              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.

                              Think it, be it.

                                        Give Sgt Jeremy Hansen a cigar, he's a frigging genius…

                                        _"Police in the US state of Utah who checked in on an elderly woman say they found her dead on her bed - and the body of her husband in the freezer.

                                        Officers were called last week to the home of Jeanne Souron-Mathers, 75, who had not been seen for several days.

                                        She was found lying motionless. Her death is not regarded as suspicious.

                                        But officers inspecting the home found a man's body in the deep freezer. He was later identified as the woman's husband, Paul Edwards Mathers, 69.

                                        Police in the town of Tooele, west of Salt Lake City, say he may have been in the freezer for years.

                                        "That's why we strongly suspect foul play," Sgt Jeremy Hansen is quoted as saying by local TV station KSL."_
