Founded in 1976 by national martial arts champion Michael Dillard, Century began as a one-man operation. His parents garage was the manufacturing shop. His van was his showroom. He traveled all across the country competing on the mat in tournaments and selling uniforms from his van in the parking lot. If he sold enough uniforms to afford it, he stayed in a motel. If not, he slept in his van. There were many years of struggles. But that did not deter Mr. Dillard. Having earned black belts in many styles over the years, he knew that success requires dedication and hard work.
Hipster fashion, it’s a thing. If your look is not mainstream – and you’re under 50 – it’s probably at least a bit hipster. Individuality, vintage-designer mashups, gender neutrality, simplicity, minimalism, and a penchant for scarves tied a multitude of complex ways… all of these are clues that your style is heavy on hipster fashion, and we’ve got a hip selection of hipster fashion catalogs online for you.
What you don’t like is shopping for big clothes. Outfits for the big guy – whether you’re big in height, girth or both – are difficult to find in many men’s clothing stores. The big and tall shops have them, but being a big guy doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a big ‘fashion’ guy, and the sales clerks aren’t always much help beyond pointing you to the fitting room and taking your credit card.
