Guys, I was wrong. You all keep asking me what kind of denim I wear and I’ve been saying “ACL x Tellason collab but they’re no longer in production”. Technically this is true. However, Tellason has since been producing the same cut of jean with the same Cone Mills denim only without the ACL cobranding. I’ve been assured by Tellason that the Ankara Straight Leg jeans are indeed the same as the ones I wear. They’re some of the most generously cut American-made selvage denim I’m aware of. They’re currently available in 12.5oz and 14.75oz weights from Tellason’s shop and many other retailers for $198.

Anonymous asked: You say you lift what's your max squat/dead/bench?
I took a while off so I’m pretty weak (trying to get back into it though). But while at my strongest I could do 245 squat 5x5, 315 dead 1x5, and 180 bench 5x5. I never do one rep maxes.

Anonymous asked: I'm looking for some black shoes (preferably sneakers) that I can wear with my shorts this summer. Do you have a few suggestions?
If you have to go with black sneakers (you might kind of look like a seventh grader wearing them with shorts but) I’d say Adidas Sambas.
Anonymous asked: Hey, This might be completely random but I'm heading to Chicago for a bachelor party. Where are some can't miss spots? From the looks of your post you seem to know some cool spots - Adam (Canada) p.s. like your blog. Totally found it by search "big thighs" "pants"... I have a similar situation... not a fetish...
Adam from Canada,
The Pink Monkey. Depends on what you wanna get into. If you need general insider tourist info, check my tag, “Chicago Advice”. If you’re visiting this summer, check out the neighborhood street festival schedule and the music festival schedule. Maybe go to one of those. Also, go to a beach.
Thank you for assuring me that you are not a fetishist.

Anonymous asked: Whats your perfect summer and/or spring outfit? thanks in advanced.
I dunno. Shorts, a pocket t, some kind of suede loafer or sneaker. Always sunglasses.
This photo is emanating Obama-in-2008 levels of hope.

Anonymous asked: mens white shorts- summer staple or trend? worth buying or not. I reside in florida
When I think white shorts in Florida, I think of retirees. While I’m sure you could style them to look good, a pair of tan shorts would probably be more versatile.

You think I was playing when I said Sambas for s/s 2012 (Taken with instagram)
Yesssssssss. I think I need to get a new pair. Mine have been destroyed from lifting in them. I see now you have to get the “Samba Classic” to get the extra long tongue (not saying I really want that but just sayin’).
