    Dear everyone, it's me, Mikey Baby Face Jr. *What type of videos are you hoping to see this year?* Any and all things welcome! Also, I'm working to get the vlog channel moving faster but it may take a second!! I can't wait to do more vlogs...I feel like I miss you all in a weird inexplicable way. HAPPY TUESDAY!! *Also, in the beginning of this video it was pouring sleet which got into my camera filter -- sorry everything gets soft at the end!*

    If you could highlight more clothes that use less synthetics and 100 percent natural fibers. Also, highlight lesser known brands and smaller shops that sell great clothing. Additionally, can you show more videos of lightweight and airy clothing that men can wear in over 80 degrees weather? And, an update on outwear for when it is transitional seasons and it is raining.

    Based on what you know, would you recommend these as long lasting winter boots? I live in Canada, I'd be interested if not for the price and I'm also looking into the Jim Greens AR8 wich are much cheaper. My endgoal is to have a pair of boots that'll last me a long time (hopefully lifetime if I take proper care).

    I know you love utilitarian style boots, but you have a retro vibe with the denim… i think you should venture into cowboy boots… nothing more american than that and it goes with just about every raw denim fit… and its a similar vibes with denim and PNW boots always hand mand - BUT exotic leathers - lot of character potential
