Brand Values

• •Quality (implied)
• •Individuality/Statement
• •Appreciation for Leisure/Lifestyle
• •Masculine Identity

Best Practices

• •Define Your "Made Man": Create a clear persona of your ideal customer. What does "Made Man" truly mean for your brand? Is he a hustler, a refined gentleman, a bit of both? Let this definition guide your language.
• •Use Strong, Active Voice: Employ confident and direct language. Avoid passive phrasing. For example, instead of "This shirt was designed to be comfortable," use "Designed for comfort."
• •Maintain Lexical Consistency: Choose a set of keywords and phrases that resonate with the brand's core values (e.g., "achieve," "build," "respect," "legacy," "refined," "classic") and use them consistently across all communications.
• •Focus on Benefits with an Edge: Highlight not just what the product *is*, but what it *represents* for the wearer in line with the "Made Man" ethos. It’s not just a t-shirt, it’s a symbol of their drive or their taste.
• •Review and Refine: Regularly audit your website copy, product descriptions, and any marketing materials to ensure they consistently reflect the desired tone and values. Remove any language that feels off-brand or diluted.

Social Perception

Targeted Appeal, Niche Product Line, Potential for Exclusivity, Clarity of Offering, Neutral to Positive (for buyers)
