  • Ignorant Host

    Wyatt from Grant Stone seems like a good guy, makes great boots, and obviously does a good job overseeing his Chinese operation. Kirkland, on the other hand, is an ignoramus, as evidenced by his not even knowing the language spoken in the vast majority of mainland China. Chinese manufacturing didn’t get a bad reputation because of racism. And it’s not because people think Chinese workers are incapable. It’s because there’s a long, documented history of unscrupulous factory owners downgrading qu... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Masaharu Wada on Japanese Watches, Taste, and Collecting
Q: What do you think is the allure of Japanese independent watchmakers?
Wada says Japanese makers learn established watchmaking conventions before developing their own interpretations. He points to the range between Kikuchi Nakagawa's classical references and Otsuka Lotec's unconventional time displays, as well as the makers' attention to detail and personal design choices.
Masaharu Wada on Japanese Watches, Taste, and Collecting
Q: How did you get into watches?
Wada began collecting after seeing his boss wear a Cartier while he was working long hours in tech. He bought a Rolex Submariner Date, started reading about watches, and later launched a blog that helped lead him to Hodinkee Japan.
PATREON PREVIEW - Die, Workwear! Inside Buck Mason with Co-Founder Erik Ford
Q: What is your difference in taste from then until now?
Ford says his style evolved gradually through life experiences, including becoming a parent, and that he developed an interest in tailoring later in life. He remains especially passionate about denim and enduring styles.
PATREON PREVIEW - Die, Workwear! Inside Buck Mason with Co-Founder Erik Ford
Q: Can you describe a little bit of what did you mean by that?
Ford says emotional products come from founders designing for themselves and creating garments they genuinely care about, rather than starting with assumptions about what customers want.
Die, Workwear! - Derek and Peter AMA - Vol 3
Q: How would you approach designing a middle-ground jacket that sits between a chore coat and a sport coat?
They suggest drawing from writerly, desk-bound aesthetics and consider a short, cropped silhouette with practical pockets, balancing utility with a sense of intellectual, editorial vibe, while ensuring the jacket remains wearable for daily office or casual settings.
