[@darrenhall7454]

Great advice. Fit is everything, definitely.

[@Shellvedge]

@@darrenhall7454 thanks Darren! Yeah its the easiest thing to get wrong but the hardest to get right

[@dapperwoodworks]

Great tips! Thank you so much for sharing and showing off my products!

[@Shellvedge]

@@dapperwoodworks thank you Justin! I think we need to start development on the Dapper Shoerack! 😂💪🏻. There’s a demand!

Hi. What kind of Jeans do you wear with your Alden Boots... I'm having trouble finding legibly scaled properly jeans... and I noticed the way you cuff your jeans too ... The way your "Jeans to boot " well scaled/fitment/ proportioned well/// with your Aldies is legit!!!

[@Korulag76]

Could you provide some details about the shoe/boot shelf? That's much more elegant looking than anything I've seen elsewhere. Thanks!

[@Shellvedge]

@@Korulag76 yeah! I actually just bought an unfinished bookcase from Home Depot and did the shelves and stain myself to match the piece from @dapperwoodworks! I say we overload Justin with requests for shoe racks until he starts to sell them for all of us!

One thought I would like to add about the value of a proper fit is that the item will function properly. Duh to myself! I totally agree with you about caring for our shoes and jeans. I have to admit/confess that I wash and then dry my jeans in the dryer until they are dry. What!??? The pattern used for the Relaxed Fit Lee Jeans is the perfect fit for me. They seem to get a little stretched out some after a wear or two, and the drying in the dryer seems to bring them back to the fit I prefer. They last for years and are not expensive. Just my 4 cents.

[@Shellvedge]

@@arthurcatalanotto1151 yeah for sure and honestly the main thing is the care process works for you and the pair fits well!

Both of those suits are way too tight. Otherwise, good video.

I get that the video is about men’s wear, but what do you do to stop razor burns? I’ve used single blades, expensive razors, electric razors, etc.. still get bumps. I believe coarse hair may differ from thin fine hair but any tips, this is weird but nice head, also ordering online makes it hard to get the right sizes sometimes

[@Shellvedge]

@@alphaa1xgene hey man, yeah I’m right there with you. I’d say no to Electric, flimsy safety razors and anything that is advertised as 4/5 & more blades to create an “ultra smooth” shave. In my experience, the razor burn and ingrown hairs come from the pulling of the hairs when you shave. So anything that doesn’t create a sharp clean cut of the hair, but tugs and cuts, will cause it. I change between a safety razor and Gillette skin guard (I think it has 2 blades).but the ultimate factor is applying warm water first, shave cream, and using a good brush applicator to soften and prep the hair. No fully avoiding it if you’re shaving your head, but it can be minimized a lot
