I understand I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and I certainly don't want everyone to look like me. I really only dress for myself.
Great product trumps all. You can have the biggest marketing budget, the biggest show, a perfect merchandising plan, but at the end of the day, it doesn't mean anything if the design and quality of the product you are offering is not compelling.

I'm a kid from Kansas, so J.C. Penney was where I got all my clothes from kindergarten to around 7th grade.
I have been a fan of Forty Five Ten since my first visit to Dallas in 2010, when I was working with the hometown competitor.
I never wear a black belt with a black shoe. It's always the opposite: a brown shoe with a black belt.
