It doesn’t matter the capacity at which you deal with clothing — the idea of venturing into anything related to retail without the information in the book, is unfounded. Whether it’s making a shirt for you and your friends or trying to create the next Fortune 500 company, Arbitrary to Necessary breaks down the science of everything from start to finish.

In this book, Jaeron Holmes unpacks The Clothing Brand Hustle with some of the same core values and entrepreneurial principles as the likes of a Percy Miller or Ermias Asghedom. The foundational integrity of the book earns it its rightful title as The Blueprint, and bears strong resemblance to what Sean Carter’s series did for the music industry. He literally shows you how to do this, son!

It’s obvious that Holmes has put the same amount of care into this book as he would with you in person. Overall, it’s a warm, honest, and personable read and it leaves you in a better place than where it found you. 10 out of 10, would recommend as it brings to the table the amount of game that you simply can’t get on social media and YouTube.

THIS BOOK Arbitrary to Necessary is A TRUE GEM. As a successful songwriter, producer, musician, rapper, I come from I'm in a industry where its every man for him/her self. So, sharing the keys to success can jeopardize ones marketshare, so no one shares the keys to success. Instead, they talk in circles about the what and why, often never getting to the How. Arbitrary to Necessary had me putting it down often asking WHY would someone give so much knowledge away for the cost of a book, when surely hours of lawyer fees and overcoming failures helped to pen this Gem. People that share things like this without charging a $500 a hour consult fee are truly Blessed with the gift of understanding of "Whats for you is for you". My advice to any dreamer is many Years of legal fees and correcting missteps, can be avoided simply by taking the time to read and learn. "Arbitrary to Necessary" gives you more than the basics that you will need get started, it literally gives you everything but the get off ur butt and do it.

Jaeron did an outstanding job with this book. This is literally THE official handbook that gives play-by-play instructions on how to build a successful brand. Chapter 3 & 4 was where I was able to apply the most to my apparel brand. If you're ready to turn your hustle into BIG business, then this book needs to be included in your library
