I think the key to clothing you love is for them to be both aesthetically pleasing to yourself as well as well constructed from quality materials. I too think I like fabric more than clothing. I like the same over shirt silhouette in different types of animal fiber.

It makes sense to be interested in the fabric. Italian chefs and Japanese chefs know that you can have an incredible dish with only three ingredients as long as those ingredients are the best quality

Regarding shirt sizing, you gotta also take into account shrinkage, especially for flannel/chamois shirts. Over time, they will shrink with multiple washes, so the 38 may be fine in the long run.

Absolutely love the fitment notes. It seems like I'm between sizes on basically everything that has ever been made to fit a human body, so I tend to stick to a very select few styles and brands that work for me. This has led to me having a limited style palette, which now makes me feel like I look weird in clothes I'm not familiar with. Having some sizing notes and especially styling notes like adding a belt and ironing goes a long way for giving me something to look for in clothes that look objectively good on me but make me think I look weird. TL:DR please keep doing fitment and styling notes

Banana Republic (and Gap) pants fit me the best. I know they are a big corp company, but they have the fit dialed in. J Crew is also good, but BR has them beat. (I have a slim, athletic build.) Also, Taylor Stitch runs big on me too. My favorite jeans I have (and I have tried lots of brands) are a pair of Levis 501 Tapered. Next are BR jeans.

Every time you do one of these videos it reminds me that I really need to slow down and be more thoughtful with my purchases. I've ended up with a wardrobe with too many boring basics and fewer outfits I really like as a result. Summer shoes that aren't white sneakers are something I want to explore more. P.S. - Red Tornado makes a dupe of the Filson x Levi's collaboration, not sure how I feel about it but figured people might be interested.

Nice video Michael. Where in NH are you moving? I’m moving there too soon as my gf got into grad school there. A video idea: over the course of the next few months, film before and afters of all the pieces you get tailored to show what a difference tailoring can make. It’s clear from this video you’ve got a very specific idea of what you think fits and what does not, and you know how to fix it. As someone who’s newer to fashion, I thought a lot of the outfits fit you great! But I also don’t mind a looser fit. A video like this would be interesting to see how different types of tailoring can affect garments (I.E. hemming pants length vs bringing in the waist size)

Steve McQueen didn't wear the sanders boots, the ones he wore where made by a brand called Hutton of Northampton, Hutton had financial problems in the 80s and sold the design, machines, patents, etc. to sanders (or another Swedish company, i'm not sure) anyway, fast forward to today and the person who owned the Hutton name etc. started making the boots again under the name 'playtime' they are, in my view, the most accurate to the ones that Steve McQueen wore and are extremely well made.

Interesting video Michael. I don't know how much research and analysis you do before shooting your videos, because it's a bit weird to do post analysis on things that should've been prepared before making said video. But, I see that you have a better understanding of size and fit now because of this video. I also see that you've been busy with developing your brand and maybe doing a move as well. May I suggest getting an assistant or assembling a team to help with the production of your videos?
