His style is a strong blend of 19th century cowboy with modern skater and he somehow pulls it off in a way that's interesting without looking like a costume. In this episode Ben and I talk about how his style has evolved, what it's like to wear unique and interesting pieces, how his career and family have impacted his approach to his appearance, and a whole lot more.

Dan Trepanier has been involved with the online menswear world nearly since its inception. And he's been a powerful player the entire time.
