I can work in it, and go out after and never feel out of place.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long has this been your hero outfit?<\/strong><br><em>Two years. Prior to Todd Shelton I liked the story of where my clothes came from&#8230;USA made, etc. When I started wearing Todd Shelton, 90% of the time, I got more compliments and turned people\u2019s heads. I never expected so many flattering comments wearing jeans and a blue button down. But people get it when I explain the clothes were made to fit me just right.&nbsp;  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you feel when you wear your hero outfit?<\/strong><br><em>It&#8217;s comforting. I know I look good, I feel good and I don\u2019t have to think too much in the morning when I&#8217;m putting it on.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long have you been with Todd Shelton?<\/strong><br><em>I think we&#8217;re going on 4 years.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there anything you\u2019d like to share with guys reading this who are just learning about Todd Shelton?<\/strong><br><em>People don\u2019t realize how important it is for clothes to fit well.
