Thinking ahead to morning rituals to start the week right. Meditate, cup of coffee (in the watch mug from @glassbeachmugs ), make the day’s to-do list, pen to paper on the thoughts of the morning or day before, then get to checking.⁣ ———————⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #mkiiwatch #builtforthepursuit #glassbeachmugs #edgevale #velvasheen https://www.instagram.com/p/CD-DEEhnstH/?igshid=jucu92felyog

Anyone else prefer a more analog driving experience to go with their mechanical watch? ⁣ —————⁣ ⁣ #mkiiwatches #mkiicruxible #builtforthepursuit #edgevale #erikasoriginals https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvh6JC6nvjC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r8yna8j47ipm

So here's the first one. The plan for here is going to be a blog for denim, boots, various men's fashion nonsense, finding ethically sourced and sustainably made clothing, and my thoughts on how to put all that together into an outfit I feel good about.

While I don't really want this to be about me (see the face) I'm obviously going to be pretty heavily featured (everything from the neck down).

To start off, I've had an absolute bitch of a time finding anything that fits. I'm 6'4" with long arms and big, fucked up hands. That makes tees, shirts, jackets, rings, and watches all difficult to size and feel good about.

The upside to how shitty I felt about getting dressed for so long is I've spent absolutely boatloads of money finding things that do fit, that we made ethically and with quality in mind, and that I can figure out how to wear easily.

I have absolutely no audience in mind writing this so hopefully I keep it up, I find a voice that feels authentic, and this goes somewhere other than the graveyard all other Jan 1 projects go to.

Lastly the clothes themselves

Jacket: Rogue Territory Sashiko Jacket (XXL)

Hoodie: ASRV of some sort (XL Long)

Pants: Edgevale Cast Iron Pants (34)

Boots: Redwing Iron Rangers (Size 11)

Cold coastal days with the Cruxible-Hellion on our buttery smooth rubber dive strap. With 100m of water resistance the Hellion is ready to dive in...even if we weren’t 🥶 ————— #mkiiwatches #builtforthepursuit #womw #wruw #edgevale https://www.instagram.com/p/B7poEEQnS0n/?igshid=vcpzf3uwf9uv

Cruxible-Hellion on wrist for a winter shoreline excursion. Not as intense as the days of UDT’s and Marine Raiders who inspired it, but it was a solid day. 😎 —————— #mkiiwatches #builtforthepursuit #edgevale #raleighdenim #duckworthwool https://www.instagram.com/p/B69n7JqHlml/?igshid=1xy51yqufpwva
