    "It's All Cosplay" with Mordechai Rubinstein

    Years in the making, we hosted someone who inspired the show, someone whose influence is undeniable, someone whose hot takes are scorching, we welcome the one, the only Mordechai Rubinstein, photographer, writer, father, dude, Deadhead, archivist. Truly a man of many parts! Our extended conversation was exactly what we’d hoped for: explosive, enjoyable, telling, and a barrel of laughs. We talked uniforms, we talked photography, we talked ethos, and perhaps most importantly, we talked about the origin story and the lore around who he is. We even got a speedrun through a portion of his closet! We hope you’ll enjoy this journey of a nearly mythical man as much as we did.

    One Man Operation with Derick Cano

    This week, an issue near and dear to your hosts and even producer: clothes for short people. We interview Deric Cano, all around radiant, Californian, someone who loves/tries to support his home community, and  founder of the brand Art Cano. We chat about the struggles of getting a clothing brand off the ground, learning things on the fly, breaking gender norms, a deep love of vintage garments, stigmas around country of origin, buzzword designing, ethical manufacturing, and so much more!

    Boring Is the Worst Version of Something with John T. Reuter

    Sometimes, it feels like we don’t deserve to do these shows. This week, Apocalypse Duds Super Fan, Earnest Politico, Big Parking Lot Hater, 40s French Glasses Enthusiast, Astoundingly Thoughtful Genius, Kind, Pragmatic Operator, John T. Reuter. I don’t want to spoil it, but we covered much uncharted territory on this show about love, circumstance, and forgiveness. You really must listen. For a show requiring no prep,John was one of our most prepared ever. Maybe half the time, we share the show outline before the  show, but not this time. We remained electrically on the rails, ever closer to the show’s mission, if there is one.

    One Thing At A Time with Eugene Park

    On this week’s episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with an up and coming clothing aficionado, Eugene Park @euge.park. While he’s relatively new to the clothing game, his knack for figuring out his place in our little pocket of internet subculture shines through brilliantly. From growing up in the greater Chicago metro area and thrifting with his mom, to now living in Southern California, he has a unique perspective. We talk finding your style as a full grown adult, a love of sneakers, the intimidation factor of fashion, bucking the rules, Uncle Ralph, making a career out of your passion, and a whole lot more.

    Just Under The Radar with David Lane of @bigfits1

    “All the way back to middle school, I’ve loved clothes…” our recent guest, David Lane, opined.

We talked Derek Guy and Put This On, the trials and tribulations of shopping at big and tall stores, O’Connell’s, not treating your clothing too preciously, LL Bean’s return policy, helping other people, the nightmare of packing for a trip, dressing on the fly, American tailoring secrets, and more, up our sleeves.
