Blamo‪!‬ Blamo! Media, Jeremy Kirkland

Shoemaker Nicholas Templeman has been working with Derek for nearly ten years and is one of the best artisans he has ever used. So it was about time that Derek and Peter invited him to an episode for a chat.

Nicholas shares his career as a bespoke shoemaker, his process, and more. Dig in!

The return of author W. David Marx!David and I get back into it! Our first pod was a year and a half ago, and you’re welcome to dig into it.

Recorded in Tokyo, David and I discuss his upcoming book, indie music, craftsmanship, getting dressed, artists vs creators, and Tailor Caid. The ramble begins now!

My guest this week is Adam Brown, founder of Orlebar Brown

Adam and I discuss how the brand was created organically, evolving past swimwear, holiday travel, retail, the perfect day, and what’s next for the brand.

Recently, Peter asked Derek to elaborate a bit more on the concept of path dependency in clothing and getting dressed. FWIW, path dependency is a concept from social science regarding why we do the things we do.

e.g., Why do we wear jeans, and why are they blue?

Derek admits it's a nerdy way of looking at clothes, but this is Die, Workwear! and the insight we all love!

This week's guest is Nicolas Gabard, founder of the Parisian brand and tailoring house Husbands.

Founded in 2012, Husbands is one of the brands behind the new wave of tailoring. Their suits are cut with a strong silhouette, generous lapels, wider trousers and are incredibly chic.

Nicolas and I discuss the origins of Husbands, style vs fashion, how to give directions to clients, how to wear black clothing,his philosophy on fashion, and how the brand continues to evolve.
