After some technical difficulties and a multitude of scheduling conflicts, Phil and I were finally able to bang out two sessions for this extra-long 'sode.  We had a great time and found ourselves meandering throughout, but the main topics were as follows:

1) Brad Pitt is crushing custom looks (shouts to Haans!) on the press tour for Bullet Train including an instantly-infamous brown linen skirt followed up by a tailored rig anchored with Gucci Gazelles.
2) Apparently, #Sandlercore was a dominant TikTok trend with GenZ girls last summer, but this summer, it's resurgence has just made us feel better about looking like a slob, like, most of the time.
3) Everybody's talking about it, so of course, we had to add our two cents.  Brendon Babenzian's J.Crew is finally here.

Last week, Phil and Barrett discussed China's potentially growing influence on the fashion landscape, as the Chinese market was already heavily influencing the American entertainment industry. Shortly after recording, the exact topic came in to strong focus thanks to South Park and Houston Rockets GM, Daryl Morey. So, first, the boys touch base on those current events.

The dudes then move on to some festival talk, as they get ready to attend ACL in just a couple of days. Unfortunately, dreamy Fest-Fits are all but squashed by the upper-90s high temps currently engulfing Austin. To wrap up, Barrett brings up the Chinese clothing brand Li Ning, made famous by Dwayne Wade's 2012 shoe deal. The brand just got picked up my high-end e-comm giant SSENSE, leading the boys to wonder whether more Chinese influence is on the horizon for your closet. www.patreon.com/clubcool www.instagram.com/clubcoolpod

Phil and Barrett sit down in the stude for an episode of the poddy largely based around NFL talk.

Today's pod is mostly a free-flowing grab bag of a conversation. With Barrett preoccupied with the Texas vs. LSU weekend, having to go see IT Chapter 2 as well as watch like 9 hours of TV for his other podcast, a full-on rundown slipped by the wayside. Instead, the boys throw together a few notes and links and chat for about forty minutes. Topics range from shirtless tailgate dudes to FJ40s but some special attention is paid to the style on HBO's succession, Todd Snyder taking over the J.Crew's Liquor Store location in NYC, and some of the hottest sneaker releases of the week. www.patreon.com/clubcool www.instagram.com/clubcoolpod Note: Today's sound might be a little wonky with Barrett's audio sounding slightly low after about five minutes. This is what happens when you try to be casual and hold your mike in your hand the whole time.

Back in the lab again, the Club Cool duo chats it up about College Football Gameday attire before discussing various trends and looks that they'd like to try this upcoming autumn, several of which are influenced by the most recent drop from brand 18 East. Lastly, Barrett and Phil take inspiration from Instagram user @meme_saint_laurent's "Style Evolution" post to discuss what fads, clothes, and brands signify the various eras of their own personal style evolutions, beginning with high school and ending with a look forward to their most aspirational and experimental fashion desires. www.patreon.com/clubcool www.instagram.com/clubcoolpod

On this week's pod, Clayton and I offer our insight in to this week's big news: LVMH's "Luxury Ventures" arm has made a minority investment in Aimé Leon Dore.  We give our initial reactions, then dive deep on what this could mean for the brand in the near and long term.  After a lengthy discussion, we turn our attention to another fashion world development: Rhuigi Villaseñor of Rhude has been named Creative Director at Bally.  On the surface, this seems like a head-scratching move for one of streetwear's biggest names so we do our best to figure out why it actually might make a lot of sense before offering up some other names in the space that we expect to be up for similar or even bigger appointments in 2022 and beyond.

On today's podcast, Clayton Chambers joins me on the pod for his third appearance but first as an official co-host of the show.  Phil and I spoke about our style resolutions last week, so this week Clayton and I continue that conversation by hashing out the things we're leaving behind in 2021.  Minimalist basics, tailored button ups, topcoats, and even hoodies got put on the chopping block so you'll have to tune in to find out what actually got axed.  From there, we move on to gas up the brands we're really focused on in Q1 and Q2 of this year but not before dissecting what on earth is happening with Arc'teryx at the moment.  Is it the first brand to ever be memed to death?  I have some questions, and Clayton has some answers.  So yeah, winter is top of mind, but spring drops are headed this way, and we discuss several brands we'll have an eye on, some of which you've definitely heard of, others maybe not so much.  Throughout the entire pod, the rise of GORPcore was a constant touch point, as were Clayton's 2022 predictions which you can find on his Twitter thread here.

In the second half of the show, Barrett and Phil get philosophical regarding the echo chamber of homogenous blogger Instagram content and the subsequent backlash from style-based meme accounts. Do we have to attribute meaning or understanding to every fashion choice we make or can we just wear what we like?

Barrett brings on Phil to add a few notes from last week's topics, including the surprise release of Travis Scott's massively hyped Air Jordan 1s during the Grammys.
