When I was a young man, I didn’t particularly like the way I looked. I would always look at the fashion magazines that I brought from Europe, (Preonline) and then send away for clothes that I had saved my hard-earned pocket money for.
Of course I never looked any like the male models from the pages of the magazines, but by just putting on the clothes, I immediately felt better about myself.
Looking good always made me feel much better about just ‘Being Me’.
No man is perfect. I created the POPE Shirt brand for one reason, I wanted all men no matter what age or shape, to feel more confident about the way they looked. Not necessarily for any occasion or for anyone else, but for more so for themselves.
For me it has always been about looking the very best you can be regardless of age or size. Feeling good on the outside makes you feel more confident on the inside. So have pride in the way you carry yourself and pride in the way others see you.
The Pope shirt and shoe brand now means so that normal men just like me can stand up and stand out.
