  • Informative and interesting

    The great Terry Hall once sang “fashion is my only culture” As a working class modernist, casual, this podcast is essential listening to any one with an interest in menswear. Great interviews, interesting guests and a female perspective on all things clobber!

  • Great Perspectives and Guests

    Love the diverse perspectives, breadth of guests, and depth of knowledge. So much to dive into. Menswear can feel stale if you stay in one or two little bubbles, so I love the podcast’s approach to the familiar from different angles. Bonus points for an interviewer that gives the guests space to speak rather than cutting them off or talking over them!
