Team Dappered is taking it slow over the next day or two while preparing for the start of our annual Reader Appreciation Week on Monday.

Why string together five big-time giveaways from Monday through Friday next week? You mean other than the bit of time off it provides those of us on this side of the computer screen?

Kidding. Well, sort of. The main reason is that we’d send each of you a hand written thank you note if we could. But asking for your addresses would just be creepy, and we’re guessing that the vast majority of you would prefer a shot at some Swiss Made gears and springs, cut and sewn cordovan, something with a century long guarantee, and… well, just come back next Monday through Friday to see what you could win.

We tell brands & retailers big and small that Dappered has the best readership on the web. You guys are just different. In a good way. Not in a one-of-a-kind-shirt sort of way.

Thanks for all the emails, all the comments, and for giving us a shot when you stumbled across these parts for the first time. Also, thanks to all of you who passed along the name of this tiny corner of the web to a friend. Word of mouth in the internet age? Who knew.

Look, in the department store of life, we’re screwing around in the toy aisle. So honestly guys, thanks for being something the small team here at Dappered can truly be proud of.

“What do you do?”
“I write about pants.”
“What?”
“But the people are the best.”

  3. As a young college student who started following your website regularly about a year ago, it’s definitely been a pleasure! Thanks!

  6. Thanks for “straight up keepin’ it real,” Dappered. Seriously, it feels like this is like the only Real World menswear site on the web. Don’t ever stop.

  10. Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve checked this site…..I’d have a LOT of nickels…

  11. My morning routine used to be yahoo news, tech news and auto news. Now, it’s just simply Dappered and emails.

    Dappered has expanded my knowledge and saved me tons of money!! 😀

  13. Really?!?!? who downgraded this??? Someone who hates the word “interwebz”?? Maybe “epic”??

    I mean, really… sheesh!

  14. Thank you for this place. I find a lot of blogs (especially style and gear blogs) tend to eschew comments and interactivity lately, where you guys have embraced it and made a nice, dynamic and engaged community here. Well done!

  17. That was a beautiful speech.
    Combine that with yesterday’s playlist…and I think we’ve got ourselves a montage.

    But fo’ real…the Internet is either treasure trove -or wasteland, thanks for making the posts count oh dapper team.

    ( and not filling this blog with narcissistic selfies…)

  19. I’m extremely thankful for being part of the team and I love that there’s so much feedback and activity on this site. I wasn’t sure if I’d get the position when I emailed Joe, but he enjoyed my style and my enthusiasm. It’s seriously a dream of mine to write for such a great site with a great audience about my experience in the sartorial world.

    Thank you everyone and a huge thanks to Joe!

  25. Dappered is the first thing I check when I get to my computer at work. Screw emails and other responsibilities!! I want to see what magic epicness has been posted on Dappered!

    I have gotten a lot of great tip from the Style Scenarios and learned so much about men’s fashion in general its too much to repeat!

    Thank you guys so much for keeping a concise, honest site running for this long and providing such awesome content!

  27. Across the board, This. Truly, amongst a lot of great regular features on this site the Style Scenarios are possibly the best. At the very least they’re what I look forward to the most when I check in each morning (as Judson, quite literally before anything else). Keep ’em coming!

  28. for all of you 1000 mile lovers, shoerepertoire.com is having a 40 percent off of everything sale. This includes Wolverine 1000 miles collection.the reputation of shoe repertoire isnt the best, however I was able to get a price match @ nordstrom.com. Shoe rep isn’t terrible but the prices they sell stuff at leaves in such a small margin for profit that it isvery hard to get them to accept returns if for any reason you need to return your shoes. Hence I prefer Nordstrom, but then again I would prefer their customer service over just about anyone.
