Portuguese term or phrase: Para homens de fibra
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!

"fiber man" or "heavy man"


Explanation:
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".
