Ep. 14: Veterans and Mercenaries, Helmets and Camo The Seams with Jacki Lyden

In honor of Veterans Day, we hear about the style signatures of a modern mercenary, Airborne Ranger, and D.C. alpha male; talk camouflage sports uniforms with ESPN's Paul Lukas; and get war stories from war reporters, whose memories have been turned into works of art.

Our theme song, "Fortune Cookie," is by Los Straitjackets from their album The Further Adventures of Los Straitjackets and is used on The Seams with permission from the band: bit.ly/1IbUNth.
