For my first post, I’ll start with an item from the men’s style blog that first got me thinking about dressing better: PutThisOn “A blog about dressing like a grownup”.  PutThisOn has frequent articles about stylish and high quality men’s clothing, and a post about Barbour waxed cotton jackets caught my eye some time ago.

What happened to me when I was inspired by this recommendation is a cycle that has occurred time and time again, and is in many ways the basis for this blog: The search for high quality and well-fitting tall versions of an item. When I see an item of clothing that I like, my next question is always:  Are there versions of this item that will fit a tall man?  This is a story you’ll be hearing again and again on this blog.

In the case of the Barbour jacket, the answer is “yes” (even though there are no “tall” sizes).
