  • So Interesting

    I’m interested in sewing and industry. It’s fascinating to hear how all these aspects are interconnected and how designs originated and transformed to what we know today. Learned so much!

  • Great, but way too much filler

    Great topic, incredibly well researched and produced, but way too much filler going off on long tangents -especially in critique of the military- takes focus away from the gear itself. Probably could have been 3 chapters.
