Shopping All the Way to the Woods: How the Outdoor Industry Sold Nature to America isn't necessarily about men's style, but it explores an important theme that can be easily transposed to any discussion about menswear. It's a book about how people buy outdoor gear to create an idea of a more "authentic self" and connect with nature. Derek chats with the author and professor, Rachel Gross, about her research and how commercial culture is tied to creating identity.

Last month, the New York Times published a post about how men dress when returning to the office. For all the speculation about the end of office dress codes, it turns out, people are dressing much like they were before the pandemic—basically in business casual. In this episode, we talk about how men can do business casual better, as well as what we've purchased for the fall.

This week, my guest is Angelo Urrutia – founder and creative director of 4S Designs.

He’s been on the pod before, right as he was about to debut his brand...in March 2020. Not sure if you remember that time but things got a bit nuts – and so did Angelo. I said this on the Patreon episode last week. I believe he’s the best designer out there right now running the best brand in the world. Everything about 4S is rewarding. The garments are absurdly over-engineered, there are convictions to what he makes. If you don’t want to dig deeper, you can still find it, buy it, and enjoy it for what it is. It’s beautiful.

Angelo and I discuss working through the pandemic, what he learned at Engineered Garments, how he has been handling all the attention, finding himself through his brand, and what’s next for 4S Designs.

Jon and Jeremy talk about how they both went to New York, but not at the same time, and how Catholic schools have the hardest names. We kind of chat about Fashion Week, and a few brands that have caught our eyes lately, Jon shows off some new pants, we learn about an upcoming archive sale Jian has in the works, and some anime shows Jeremy should check out. Jeremy also discloses an absolute treasure mine of Loro Piana gear, and then he waits way too long to send the link in the group chat. We find out Drake's is surprisingly cheaper in the UK and we close the episode by boring the shit out of Jian.

Taste is one of those things that's impossibly difficult to define, and often waived away with sayings such as "to each his own." Yet, it's at the heart of how we choose to dress the way we do. In this episode, we talk about the sociological origins of taste, how to cultivate taste, and why it's so difficult right now to talk about taste in menswear.

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?

The original thread is here

When Derek visited Naples about ten years ago, many of the older Italian tailors told him they were worried about the future of their trade. As more tailors retire, fewer and fewer young people are taking their place. Yet, the scarcity of young tailors has only made it more exciting to see new people pick up needles and shears. In our first episode of Blamo Presents: Derek Guy, we talk about some of the more exciting tailoring houses today, what you can expect to pay for a bespoke suit, and the stash of rare Apparel Arts magazines Jeremy found at a garage sale.

Stephen joins Rob and I to recap Watches and Wonders, the recent trade show out of Geneva where nearly every watch company showed off what they’ve been working on…

We discuss how hard it has been to buy a watch and how that’s affecting other brands in the industry, the recent announcements, what we’ve been into lately, and more.

If you’re into watches, hate to love em, or love to hate him, throw in the AirPods and take a walk with us.

This week on Blamo! Extra, we talk to Jason Jules. 

Jason has been a force behind the scenes in the worlds of music and fashion for a minute, working with Jamiroquai, A Bathing Ape, Paul Smith, and Drake’s (to name a few), plus his own projects under the name Garmsville. Lately, his Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style has been blowing up in the world of menswear, including earning a co-sign from Tyler, the Creator.

In our conversation, we talk about why musicians are launching brands, how we communicate through what we wear, and what Black Ivy is really about. It’s so epic, we’re crossing the whole ep over into the main Blamo feed to give a bigger taste of Extra to a wider audience. 

Our Patreon support is so important for us to keep going and we have big plans - so if you dig it, please share it with a friend!

This week on Extra, Jeremy and Rob decided to invite Derek Guy back for the return of the AMA. You undoubtedly know him from his writing for his blog, Die Workwear and Put This On or his epic Twitter account. He’s so thoughtful and knowledgable, we wanted to get his takes on your questions, too.

We covered a lot of ground, including y2k fashion, stolen valor, how much of a wardrobe item is too many, how Derek keeps interested in classic menswear, and his own writing inspo. He even lets us in on why he thinks women make the best menswear writers.

Deep dives, tangents, and hot takes, oh my. AMA is back, baby!
