Blamo!

My guest this week is Mickey Drexler. You probably know him as the guy behind Gap Inc., J.Crew, Old Navy, and now Chairman of Alex Mill — but this conversation turned into something much bigger than retail. Mickey thinks most modern fashion has lost its taste level. He thinks cars all look the same. He thinks corporate boards ruin creativity. He hates AI slop, overdesigned luxury, cheap packaging, bad customer service, loud gyms, and logos for the sake of logos. We talk about why Costco might secretly be one of the best brands in America, what made Rolex such a powerful marketing company, the importance of storytelling, why details matter, and what happens when companies stop caring. Plus: a wild story about getting fired from Gap after a call from Steve Jobs Mickey absolutely destroying Allbirds thoughts on vintage cars, vintage clothes, and why “if you know, you know” still matters * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hrishikesh Hirway — the creator and host of Song Exploder — joins me this week. We talk about the strange identity crisis of becoming known as “the Song Exploder guy” while still trying to reconnect with himself as a musician and songwriter. We also get into collaboration, writer’s block, vintage clothing, obsessive music listening, and the making of his beautiful new record, “In the Last Hour of Light.” Hrishikesh opens up about interviewing hundreds of artists, how Song Exploder changed the way he thinks about creativity, and why working with other people ultimately helped him fall back in love with making music. We also talk about recording live with almost no takes, working with Iron & Wine, the emotional weight of memory and grief, and the challenge of making deeply personal work in public. This is one of my favorite kinds of conversations — two people trying to figure out what it actually means to make things for a living.Listen to "Stray Dogs" * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! Welcome to the first installment of Die, Workwear!’s new series on building a wardrobe without taking out a second mortgage.    The premise is simple: if your closet disappeared tomorrow and you had $3,000 to rebuild it from scratch, what would you actually buy?   Not fantasy grails. Not “quiet luxury.” Real clothes Derek and Peter would genuinely wear themselves: sport coats, tropical wool trousers, vintage eBay overcoats, loopwheeled T-shirts, Cone Mills denim, penny loafers, and a surprising amount of discussion about sweatshirts.   Along the way, Peter tries to justify $140 OCBDs, Derek explains the perfect vintage-straight jean fit, and both make a compelling case for buying old Ralph Lauren off eBay instead of almost anything new. ** Listen to the FULL episode on the Blamo!

This week on Blamo!, I’m joined by Kevin Morby. We talk about his new record Little Wide Open, out May 15, and how ideas of home and place show up in his songwriting. From writing in different cities to figuring out what “home” actually means, Kevin gets into the rhythms behind his work. We also talk life on the road—running, watching movies, and the routines that keep things steady—plus stage clothes, residencies, and the “most him object” he owns.Kevin Morby's SubstackKevin Morby.com * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Wyatt Gilmore, founder of Grant Stone, joins me to talk about how the brand came together, what he learned spending years working in factories in China and Taiwan, and why quality footwear is about far more than country-of-origin clichés. We get into boots, loafers, suede, shell cordovan, and the realities of making shoes that feel good, age well, and actually earn their place in your closet.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! Derek and Peter get into how the internet shapes personal style—from the knowledge-to-flex pipeline to the limits of longform and the rise of walled gardens. They revisit early forums like r/malefashionadvice, make the case for globalization, and ask a simple question: how do you get dressed without looking like the algorithm did it for you?

Derek Guy and Peter Zottolo are back for AMA #2, generously sponsored by our friends at Bezel! They get into the idea of “essentials,” dressing your age (or not), and how much stock to put in the usual menswear rules. There’s talk of slouchy fits (when they work, when they don’t), value brands, sneakers, vertical layering, and the ongoing debate of shopping online vs actually going into a store. Plus, the kind of impulse purchases you try not to think about again. It’s thoughtful, opinionated, and about getting to a place where getting dressed feels a little more intuitive—and a lot less stressful.   ** SHOW NOTES Peter Z' One Coat Eidos Carlo coat One Watch Rolex Explorer Dressing Your Age Old Joe geezer Fabric Resources Unfunded Liabilities Thread Sneakers Chuck Taylor 70s Vans Classic Sperry CVO Sneaker Regrettable Impulse Purchases Rick Owens Shearling Favorite Style Photos https://www.putthison.com/summershoes https://www.vogue.com/article/john-pearson-male-supermodel-website-mrfeelgood-interview-naomi-campbell https://aboutphotography.blog/blog/the-kiss-by-the-htel-de-ville-by-robert-doisneau Swimwear Orlebar Brown Bespoke Item Most Jealous of Presentable Attire for a Creative Buck Mason Chore Coat * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying, selling, or insuring your next luxury watch  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My guest this week is Hagop Kourounian, the mind behind Director Fits. What started as a Substack has grown into something much bigger — part moodboard, part shop, and soon, a full-on magazine. Hagop and I get into how Director Fits came to life, what it was like growing up in a deeply creative household, and why we’re just as interested in how artists present themselves as we are in the work they make. We also talk about the return of physical media, the joy of collecting, and — maybe most importantly — whether you should actually be watching things with subtitles on.

My guest this week is Uncle Paulie James, Paulie’s one of those guys who just gets it — big fits, big sandwiches, and a personal style that’s completely his own. What started with a love of streetwear and Japanese denim turned into a cult following for his merch… and somewhere along the way Travis Scott started wearing it too. Paulie and I talk about big fits, big sandwiches, slinging streetwear and Japanese denim, and how his gear started popping up on some very famous people.

This week on Blamo!, I’m joined by Greg Jackson, founder of Greg Laboratory. Greg’s path runs from growing up in D.C. to Detroit, from BAPE and Dunks to a serious run at Nike, where he learned firsthand what it takes to build product at the highest level. We talk about what he took from Nike (and why he left), launching Greg Laboratory, making things in New York, the art of refinement, and why a pocket might matter more than you think. There’s Jay-Z, bespoke tailoring, Mexico, and the strange tension of making clothes that might be… too nice to wear. https://greglaboratory.com/ * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! Sometimes, the world of menswear can get niche, as people dive into different rabbit holes. There are sashiko field jackets, patchwork Ivy Style tweeds, and dark, artisanal styles that look like they'd be worn by a forger in 14th-century Europe. For guys who sometimes feel alienated from these things, is it OK to have a more boring style? Peter and Derek talk about how you can play around with aesthetics you love without scaring your family.   ** Listen to the entire episode on the Blamo!

This week on Blamo!, I’m joined by Ronnie Chiu, founder of Colhay’s. Ronnie and I get into how inheriting his father’s sweater shaped his relationship to clothing — and how that personal history informs everything he does at Colhay’s today. We talk about why knitwear doesn’t last like it used to, the importance of knit density, overwashing, handwashing, and why working with the same Scottish suppliers matters. We also dig into intentional buying, sentimentality, raising kids, and what’s next for the brand — including a new line on the horizon.  * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My guest this week is Luke Walker of L.E.J. The founder of one of our favorite brands, Luke cut his teeth at LANVIN for years before eventually starting L.E.J., a brand that grew directly out of his own wardrobe. Along with a bit of early-2000s fashion talk, we get into loneliness in menswear, the difference between designing clothes and actually developing them, and why traditional ideas around fit and formality can leave people feeling disconnected from what they’re wearing. Things get a little spicy at times as we talk about tailoring as a way to rethink proportion and confidence, and how garments earn meaning through wear. Finally, we unpack the realities of running a small brand — timelines, availability, and what growth really looks like. https://lej.london/ * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! It's no secret that every designer from Hedi Slimane to Hiroki Nakamura base many of their designs on vintage garments.

This week on Blamo! I’m joined by one returning guest and one first-timer — Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris. Mac is the current — and ninth ever — National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, a New York Times bestselling author of more than 60 children’s books, and a two-time Caldecott Honor recipient. He’s also a past Blamo! guest, which made this feel less like an interview and more like picking up a conversation we never really finished. Shawn is an award-winning illustrator and author whose book Have You Ever Seen a Flower? received a Caldecott Honor and is a personal favorite of mine — one of those books that quietly rewires the way you see the world. Mac and Shawn are close friends, serious book people, and — somewhat under-the-radar — real fit gods. We talked about good books, good stories, and good clothes!

My guest this week is the musician, artist, and composer Keaton Henson. Keaton is one of my favorite artists. He’s a rare songwriter whose music feels like it should always be playing somewhere in the background of your life.

Keaton and I talk about his new album Parader, good clothes and big jumpers, suits as a form of armor, life in Surrey, collecting, and what’s been holding his attention lately.

Welcome to the first installment of our new quarterly AMA series, generously sponsored by our friends at Bezel.  Derek and Peter received far more questions than any reasonable human beings should, so they spent over two hours trying to answer as many as possible.  They get into dressing for your body type, keeping your clothes in good shape, finding budget brands that don’t feel like compromises, picking accessories that actually help, and choosing outerwear that works in real life rather than just in lookbooks. * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying, selling or insuring your next luxury watch  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

His taste level and his instinct for curation are a big part of why your favorite stores feel so welcoming and inspiring. He’s a book dealer, a vintage dealer, and one of those people who just has that thing—the perfect mix of humility, good taste, IYKYK energy, and storytelling. Geoff and I get into reconciling “cool” with work, everyone’s obsession with Donald Judd, the art of editing, and whether or not you should actually write in the books you own.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! It’s a new episode of Die, Workwear with Derek Guy and Peter Zottolo. A lot of guys who are into menswear nowadays get into the hobby through shoes — and with that, learning how to take care of their newly acquired purchases. Shoe shining, in particular, can be therapeutic for today's keyboard class. But historically, it was a rough trade taken up by orphans, newly arrived immigrants, and the most marginalized in society. Peter and Derek talk about the history of shoe shining, and how it moved from what was widely considered a lowly profession to now an elevated craft with global competitions and boutique French products.

This week on Blamo!, we’re joined by a true designer’s designer: Nur Abbas.  Nur is based in Portland, Oregon, and his résumé reads like a tour through every corner of modern fashion. He’s designed for Margiela, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton; worked alongside Christophe Lemaire on UniqloU; served as Design Director for Nike ACG; and even did a stint at Yeezy. What struck me most in our conversation is how seamlessly he’s moved between worlds—ultra-luxury houses and global, accessible brands—and how much they actually have in common. Nur has a rare perspective on what ties them together and what separates them. We dive into his design studio, Onlylight; his new project, Parsel; gorp culture and the legacy of Nike ACG; why it’s always the person—not the clothes—that makes a fit; and how the best design is almost always a team sport.

It had been so long that we both realized he needed to come back on. For many people, 3sixteen is simply a denim brand. But for others, it’s the seasonal collections, the lookbooks, the whole world they build around it. We get into all of that—mainly how Andrew and his team have managed to evolve the brand without it ever really looking like it’s evolved at all. Andrew and I talk about what’s been happening at 3sixteen, why everyone seems to love bigger jeans right now, big lookbook energy,  the rise of run clubs and cafés inside retail stores. * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! Streetwear was once a catchall term for styles that naturally emerged from various street cultures.

My guest this week is musician Phil Cook. I have been listening to Phil Cook's Appalachia Borealis constantly – almost once a day. Sometimes, I'll put it on in the late evening; other times, it's what I put on when I'm making my coffee. I have found myself forgetting it was on and tearing up over what I'm hearing. I rarely know what I'm talking about here, but I cannot get over the power of music, and Appalachia Borealis knocks me out. Produced by Phil's close friend and frequent collaborator, Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), the album is so spacious that you can hear the room if you put headphones on. You can almost see where Phil sat in your mind when it was recorded. It's one of those albums you want on vinyl to dig deeper into. I sat down with Phil for a Blamo! episode a little bit ago, and we got into all of it. We discussed gospel music, parenting, and his friendship with the GOAT, Bruce Hornsby. It's all in there! ** This episode is sponsored by Grant Stone  ** Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My guest this week is designer Dana Lee of Dana Lee Brown If the name rings a bell, this isn’t her first time making clothes; she used to run her brand as Dana Lee in the late aughts. I remember getting her twill pants, which I still own, and they were simple, well made, and classic. She recently re-launched her brand not long ago after taking some time off, and it’s incredible. It’s a small collection, but as you’ll hear, it’s not made or manufactured the way her previous one was. In fact, she’s one of the few brands I know that are leading the way in this “farm to loom” production. In fact, all of her stuff is made in a relatively local radius. It makes you think more.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! Recently, Peter asked Derek to elaborate a bit more on the concept of path dependency in clothing and getting dressed. For what it's worth, path dependence is a social science concept that relates to why we do the things we do. e.g. Why do we wear jeans and why are they blue?

Patreon Preview from Blamo!   Since at least 2010, menswear writers have been predicting—perhaps secretly hoping for—the end of the slim-fit trend. But it wasn't until January 2016, when Raf Simons debuted his first collection after leaving his directorial role at Dior, that things started to change. Since then, big fits have cropped everywhere, from J. Crew's giant chinos to Jerry Lorenzo's Armani-sized tailoring. If you're just starting to dip your toes into these waters, Peter and Derek discuss how you can incorporate looser fits into your wardrobe. ** Listen to the entire episode and on the Blamo!

Surprise, we have a special episode discussing quite possibly one of my favorite watches of all time. Look, if you’re new here, I’m a SeikoBoi, a Seiko Fan (and btw you can be too!) I have been collecting and obsessing over Seikos forever. It’s how I got into watches – and the golden goose, the holy grail; whatever expression you want is the Seiko 62MAS or what many people know as the classic Seiko diver.  Seiko recently launched a new version of the 62mas which is almost an identical re-issue of the classic 6217, the SJE093. Naturally, I enlisted the help of Rob Caplan and Zachary Piña from Topper to help me understand this watch, unpack its origins, and learn more about why this little dive watch has every collector going nuts. ** Learn more here Listen to Burlingame & Park chat the 62MAS Reissue with Erik Strickland Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! When bespoke shoemaker Seiji McCarthy chatted with Peter and Derek last year, he mentioned that he thinks it's much easier to make a living as a craftsperson in Tokyo because of the availability of cheap real estate.  So when Joe McReynolds, co-author of the new book Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City, reached out to see if Peter and Derek wanted to chat about urban policy, they jumped at the chance.  What makes Tokyo such a particularly good breeding ground for bespoke crafts? McReynolds suggests it's about more than culture—it's also about how we build cities. ** Listen to the entire episode and on the Blamo! Patreon  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! Nina Penlington is the head cutter at Edward Sexton. She carries forward one of the greatest tailoring legacies of our generation. The late Edward Sexton was the technical mind behind Nutters of Savile Row. In the 1960's Edward and Tommy Nutter revitalized the Row with their glamorous suits and welcoming shop front. They dressed rock and roll legends such as Mick Jagger, Elton John, and most Beatles members.  The cut was unapologetic and romantic. Edward and Tommy made full-bodied coats with square shoulders, nipped waists, and lapels so wide that they almost grazed the wearer's shoulders. Sexton liked to call his cut "long and leafy." Sadly, Edward passed away in the summer of '23, and Nina, who previously worked under him, has taken his place as the firm's head cutter. She has almost 20 years of experience as a cutter, having worked at Dege & Skinner and Gieves & Hawks, which gives her a solid foundation for carrying forward Edward's strong and angular cut. Derek and Peter discuss what it was like working with Edward, how to make bespoke suits for women, and a controversial tailoring topic called "straightening & crookening." ** Listen to the entire episode and on the Blamo!
