Welcome

Welcome to Form and Function. My buddy Nathan and I have created this blog to give ourselves a bit of an outlet.

Let me set the scene.

We're college kids from a small town in West Virginia where we've developed a relationship based on basketball, food and clothes. We've been best friends ever since we won the county basketball championship at Suncrest Middle School. I'm a walk-on basketball player at Eastern Kentucky University and Nate is a marketing major at West Virginia University.

As you've probably figured out by now, West Virginia and Kentucky aren't the most stylish places in the world. And when you're as passionate and interested in clothing as we are, it can get a little frustrating.

I've developed my interest in men's clothing (menswear if you will) from different places. Whether it's listening to Jose from Porta Bella's in New York talk about the difference between single vent and double vent blazers with my dad and his co-workers or searching the web for good deals on desert boots and pea coats with my sister. The person who is most responsible for my addiction to menswear is the guy who will be posting on here as well, Nate.

In a society where a man being interested in the way he presents himself is looked down upon, we are  here to tell you that it's ok. We promise. As we progress we're going to post what we like, what we hate, why we do what we do and for the love of good please don't use the word "fashion".

So I'll leave you with one of our motto's, "Dress yourself like you know what the hell is going on."
