I've always maintained that most guys don’t need more clothes, they just need a better system. So I put together a simple framework to evaluate, edit, and curate your wardrobe, making the process of getting dressed enjoyable. Grab the free guide here👉secure.wellbuiltstyle.com/well-built-war…

Stanley Tucci clearly has a favorite dress shoe in his lineup: The single monk strap. Buy quality dress shoes and wear the hell out of them. Option below is from Magnanni (affiliate): bit.ly/41N4Oyb

@kerwin65230 Not sure - but Quince makes a nice one in organic stretch cotton twill:

@WellBuiltStyle That’s a nice chore coat. Any idea what brand?

Chore coats >>> hoodies at the airport.

Not sure where Kit Harington's chore coat is from. But for a stellar affordable option check out Quince (affiliate): goto.quince.com/NG6VBV Stretch organic cotton twill. Less than $75.

Some of the best narrative non-fiction books I've ever read. 👇 All of them were page turners. 10/10, highly recommend.

@theproof stable is my guess. Essentially no change.

Reminder - I’m 39 years old, not on lipid lowering medications and baseline scan showed mild plaque in LAD and CAC score of 4. Strong family history of early CVD (dad had heart attack at 41, grandpa in his late 40’s). Fortunately low Lp(a) and my ApoB has been under 80 mg/dl for the better part of a decade thanks to my diet. Some other recent lab markers: HbA1c: 5.1% Fasting glucose: 82 mg/dL (down from 87) Fasting insulin: 3.2 µIU/mL VO2 max: 53

I had my CT angiogram results from @BudoffMd sent to Heartflow to analyse - comparing a 2024 scan to a scan 16 months later. Once I have the results and review them in full with cardiac imaging experts expect an episode. What’s your prediction?

The famed Italian designer Brunello Cucinelli built his entire aesthetic around one core idea: Gentle Luxury. And no, you don’t need to be balling out of control to apply this concept to your wardrobe. Style isn't about the money you spend. It's more about your intent. Gentle Luxury for Brunello = restraint. Not being flashy with your clothes. No loud logos. Not trying to flex too hard. Instead, think: No logos Soft, muted colors Texture Clean, tailored fits You can easily apply this same philosophy to your wardrobe without ever being a single piece from Brunello.

Any time I feel like I'm stuck or I'm not getting the "results" I want in any particular domain I ask myself the same question: Are you being consistent with the basics?

I freely admit that I'm not the smartest or brightest person. Nor am I particularly talented or skilled. But I am pretty consistent and I'm good at building positive habits. And those two things have largely been responsible for any success I have achieved in life.

Go fitted. Trust me on this. Great example here with Nicholas Hoult and his choice in outerwear. The fitted leather jacket maintains those clean lines. So key.

Barbell Medicine has done an awesome (and I really do mean awesome) deep dive into this topic. Worth listening to their ongoing podcast series on testosterone here: barbellmedicine.com/podcast/

Why is there a huge drop in modern men's testosterone? There are a few big reasons - one of which hardly ever gets mentioned: Older tests were using immunoassays to measure testosterone. This is not a direct measurement. It infers the amount of testosterone in the blood. Immunoassays consistently over-estimate testosterone levels. In the late 2000s labs switched to mass spec - which directly measures the amount of testosterone in the blood. When researchers re-tested stored blood samples from men previously tested by immunoassays, the proportion falling below 300 ng/dL nearly doubled. This is why the Endocrine Society revised the lower limit from 300 ng/DL to 264 ng/dL. The threshold dropped because the test got better. Across the last 50 years, the older immunoassay values wear artificially reading high, while the newer mass spec values read more accurate.

I'd look at the Khaki Field Automatic (with the stainless steel bracelet strap). Or a Lorier (lots of awesome models available). Hamilton is a 38mm case size Lorier is a 36mm case size Both are within that $500-$1000 range.

To grow muscle effectively you must: - use a controlled, full range of motion - use proper form and focus on high quality contractions - eliminate body English and momentum based movement - continue reps until you are within 1-2 reps of failure (if you’re a beginner, just use failure as a heuristic) - track all weights and reps - constantly try to beat the training log and improve performance - rest 3 minutes minimum between sets - eat and sleep enough to support recovery If you’re missing just one of these steps, it will compromise growth. Bookmark this tweet + refer to it as your checklist.

That's great you want to train hard, but you'd see much better results if you just focus on training consistently.

It's an old paper (2015) - but I wouldn't be surprised if the data were similar. Maybe even worse. 25% of men jumping on TRT never even get their initial/baseline testosterone levels tested. That's crazy to me.

Make the right upgrades this spring/summer season.

John Krasinski with the DB suit fit. I would have swapped the suede Chelseas here for some loafers, give the more formal/refined look of the DB suit + tie. The loafers just offer better balance. Loafers here are from Meermin (affiliate): ktku.co/1sv

Depends on your budget. But if you're looking for something affordable that's good quality I'd recommend a Seiko 5 automatic. Case size is between 37-38mm. Price is usually around $250 (sub $500 for sure). Lots and lots of different styles to choose from too.

Go 31x34 - that 33" inseam is elusive. Same with a 31". 31x34 and then go to a tailor and get them hemmed. And if you can't find a 31" waist - do a 32x34...and get the waist taken in and inseam hemmed.

I recommend a 8-10" drop which is much more achievable. Literally ANY guy can get there. 10-12" - a little more ambitious.
