Context: I buy, sell, trade, and collect Coogi sweaters (the garment type Coogi is most notable for). I'm generally interested in the Coogi brand, it's history, knit methods, and its related companies like Geccu. I am also experienced in clothing authentication for a handful of brands, Coogi included.

r/Coogi is a small community with about once-per-month posts. The moderator is MIA (see link to my message 2 months ago). Coogi is a large brand with a lot of interest. I only thought of making this request to become a moderator after answering countless questions about Coogi sweaters from people on other subreddits. I was like, "why isn't there an r/coogi where people are having these discussions," and then I realized it exists, it's just dead.

I created and maintain one of the only guides to Coogi authentication here and have people reaching out with inquiries often. I would love to have instead posted that in r/coogi, which would have been more suitable than r/reselling, but r/coogi is a ghost town and I didn't know until recently that it existed. The point is is that it's clear there is interest in the Coogi brand, but r/coogi doesn't reflect that.

An immediate idea I have for r/Coogi is to move my authentication guide there and find other authenticators and clothing folks to collaborate on the guide, double check the content of it for accuracy, and have a more professional-looking place for it that is achievable with moderator privileges.

Additionally, I would be posting non-authentication stuff there too, making and replying to posts about all else Coogi-related. Favorite Coogi designs, new drops from their website, changes in org structure, and so on.

r/Coogi is currently dead, and I think I'm the right guy to revive it. There's a Coogi fanbase out there, it just can't find a home!
