Gents - this challenge was a blast! We had so many transformation and turning-point stories shared, and every single one was inspiring in its own way. Seeing you guys show up, reflect, and take action is exactly what this community is about. Now… for the winner 🥁🥁🥁 🏆 WINNER: @Sean Kavanaugh Sean’s turning point started with years of feeling limited by his size — wearing looser clothes to hide, tailoring only for length, and cycling through “progress… then back to old habits.” Then life changed the trajectory. He stepped into a new chapter, started carrying himself differently, and eventually hit the real wake-up call: About 18 months ago, he woke up with his knees hurting and decided, “Enough is enough.” He committed to keto and consistent workouts — and that kickstarted not just weight loss, but a complete style evolution. What changed for Sean: - He’s down 75 pounds, with another 15–20 to go - Fit became the priority — not “whatever works,” but “what actually looks sharp” - He rebuilt his wardrobe intelligently (thrift + resale + tailoring) as his body changed - He leveled up so much that in December he bought an off-the-rack suit that only needed a hem — not a full reconstruction And the best part? He didn’t keep it to himself. He posts consistently, tracks his progress, and credits the community for helping him feel more confident in who he is — and where he’s going. @Sean Kavanaugh — we're proud of you! Everyone else: keep those stories coming in the community feed. This is how we build momentum — one decision, one upgrade, one win at a time!

Most of my shoe care is applying renovator on a regular basis. I have never applied wax and done a single application of polish… ever. I know… sad! My brown AE Oxfords could not be ignored further, so I broke out the swath of Saphir products and got to work. While easily amateurish, it didn’t look like I did it all wrong… maybe? As always, any feedback is welcome.

Good morning gentlemen, Well today is the day! The men of RMRS have a chance to display their Coats of Armor! I am asking all the men in this community to post pictures on this post of them in their suits. It can be a two piece, three piece, a blazer, a sports coat, with a tie, without a tie, does not matter. I want to celebrate men in suits. I know many like my self wear them on a daily basis, some regularly, some occasionally, and some only on special occasions, and that is fine. We are not here to critique people or to down people for not wearing one. This is to celebrate men in suits and to remember the history of suits, and remember when there was a time when suits were the norm. It is my desire to help bring back the nostalgic of the suits in the hopes of also reminding men of the time when men greeted each other on the streets, when differences were settle with a drink of coffee or tea, when men would gather together to smoke a cigar or a pipe and have a drink, when men treated ladies like ladies, when a man in a suits was a role model for young men, and a desire for ladies. Gentlemen I want to show our appreciation to Antonio for creating this community and also to celebrate all the work that each of you have put not only into your lives but this community. And what better way than to show Antonio what he and his team have accomplished by showing him the product of his hard work. So gentlemen let’s see how many men we can get to post their pictures on this post. You can add as many different pictures under your name but please keep it to just one post so we can see how many participate in this and not double the count. Pass this on to everyone you know in this community and the other two communities as well. Let’s celebrate our hard work.
