Tenho um amigo querendo lançar um produto, e ele queria colocar o slogan em inglês. A frase será "Para homens de fibra."
Seria inapropriada usar a forma "For Fiber men"? Sei que há outras opções para denotar coragem etc., mas ele gostaria de tentar manter a palavra "fibra".
Grato a todos!

for men of real fiber
Seems this expression is in use after all. Note: OF fiber, not WITH fiber.

"fiber man" or "heavy man"
I own a store for men's products also called New Old Man https://www.newoldman.com.br , but I think the best translation for you would be "fiber man" or "heavy man".

: All you need to do is google "fiber man" and you are pointed to sites on diet. There is a reason for this. :)

Why? How can any one translate a slogan without even knowing what the product is. You need to say what the product is.
