I’m happy to help someone drive anywhere, move apartments, or anchor a TV to the wall. I’m cool being a menswear consultant, but a belt felt kind of mundane. “What’s a good belt to buy? I know you’ve got opinions” was the ask. Is that all I’m good for? Not sure, but my friend was dead-on, because I’ve got some fucking belt opinions.
