Looks like US-made textiles and clothing have gotten more expensive since Trump imposed tariffs in April 2025. https://t.co/otMv56yyjF

This is true. When your grandmother bought Pringle and Ballantyne knitwear, the world was very different.
For much of the 20th century, Scottish knitwear was considered the best in the world. In Border towns such as Hawick and Innerleithen, an entire industry of spinners, https

@dieworkwear @CoraCHarrington Even heritage brands aren’t the same anymore. My Grandmother wore cashmere or lambswool cardigans from Pringle or Ballantyne and they looked perfect with 20-30 years of regular wear. The fibres are completely different these days - economic and clima

Quince's website and business model do not inspire confidence in me.
When shopping for knitwear, consumers run into a basic problem. With some education and a trained eye, consumers can spot basic markers of quality when inspecting certain kinds of garments. A suit or sport htt

I wish animal accounts on here would stop using AI. If I follow a cat account, it's because I want to see actual videos or photos of real cats, not Tom & Jerry.

I wonder if this will result in a total collapse of this online male self-improvement/ masculinity-influencer industry or if it will make young men even more dissatisfied with their lives.

I give out free menswear advice. As a result, I've received about a hundred emails in the last three years from people who shared their wedding-day photos and said they incorporated my advice. They all look fantastic — truly like a million, billion bucks. It makes me happy that

As someone who enjoys a traditional coat-and-tie aesthetic, I obviously agree with this essay. I often hear men say they hate suits and ties bc they are rebellious, anti-establishment types, but their style is actually closely aligned with people who hold modern power. https://t.

Black dress shirts have become oddly popular in the last decade, but most men would do well to avoid them. It's not because they're verboten, but because they require a trained eye to style well. And most men don't have the eye for it.
Black dress shirts were historically the h

Met a guy at the bar last night that works as a long-haul trucker. He said he's barely getting by. The Iran War has pushed up his fuel costs. His back hurts, but he has no healthcare. Even worse, AI might automate his job. I put my hand on his shoulder and said "Donald Trump has

I don't think I'm doing a good job communicating my view, so I will try to do better in this post.
My view is shaped by over 15 years of writing about fashion (including the effects of fast fashion), reading @wdavidmarx's book "Status and Culture," and private conversations

For me, craft is fundamental to how I view or appreciate something. In my line of work, I think a handmade suit is beautiful because it represents the culmination of someone's years of dedicated practice, even if a machine-made suit can look indistinguishable.

@dieworkwear Yes but the higher moral achievement isn't the protection of an elite artist class, it's the ability for the world's stories to be told and heard.
Up until this point, the latter required the former because art required spending years learning craft. This worked we
