Q: So what's happening to the Denim & Boots Podcast?
A: It's not going anywhere. But, for the time being, there won't be new episodes published.
Q: So, does that mean the won't be any more episodes from the Denim & Boots Podcast?
A: We don’t know. Honestly, the reason we're taking a break comes down to busy schedules and 9 hours between us, which makes recording increasingly challenging.
Q: Will Jake continue to run the Denim & Boots Podcast on his own then?
A: No, the Denim & Boots Podcast is, and will continue to be, a collaborative project between Jake and Thomas. Since the beginning, it's been produced by Thomas. -

How to Spot Vintage Denim with Wouter Munnichs (S03E02)
In this episode of The Denim & Boots Podcast, Thomas is joined by Wouter Munnichs from Long John to talk about vintage denim.
Wouter has been collecting vintage denim for +15 years, but his passion for denim goes all the way back to the early 90s when I got a job in the first Diesel store in Holland. He was 17 then.
After his time at Diesel, he started a kids brand called Lvis; helped build a successful streetwear brand; and eventually started consulting for the denim industry.
This interview was recorded at the Bluezone trade show in Munich in February 2020. -

Customer Reviews
An anomaly of a podcast that’s welcome
Rarely do geeks allow themselves to be unabashedly geeky in public on a topic so controversial as expensive clothing and accessories.
The Ironheart of Denim Podcasters
There seems to be no end to these guys' expertise. A must listen for those who want to know more (a little or a lot) about denim and its associated products--especially leather. No better guys on the planet doing what Thomas and Jake do.
Pretty Good
The central theme of this series of theatre pieces is of two men locked in their obsession with authenticity at odds with both time and place. One post-hipster bares his soul weaving tales on the minutia of absolutely every element that clothes his body. The audience is reflected in the supporting character, a less-afflicted humble-chic euro-everyman. Hellish terrified stupor awaits you as not only must a simple undershirt be made as of a bygone era; it must also be from foreign lands, of rarest thread, woven on the scarcest of looms and only under the watch of a mythical Godot-esque zen-master black belt artisan. Do these people, places and Emperor’s Clothes really exist? Got your Engineer Boots on? Great! Journey into the Heart of Darkness in a Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance style epic journey into Kafka-meets-Kubrick madness. Learn the absolute Horror and Moral Terror that is Horween Chromexel. This is The Overlook Hotel set on the edges of Chinatown in The Twilight Zone. They also discuss jeans.
