  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP274: From the Ground Up: Where Menswear Meets Gardening Ft. David Telfer- As Found
Q: What would you say to someone who's thinking about starting their own brand?
Telfer recommends taking time to plan, saving money, and testing an idea before making a major career move. He encourages people to put their work out publicly, observe whether people respond and adjust their approach as needed.
EP274: From the Ground Up: Where Menswear Meets Gardening Ft. David Telfer- As Found
Q: How did As Found Gardenwear come about?
Telfer wanted to build a focused brand with a distinctive niche and saw an opportunity in gardening wear, partly through his wife's work as a garden designer and the strong communities around gardening. He plans to develop specialist-made products gradually, including wax jackets and natural-dyed clothing.
EP268: Menswear, The Ocean & Purpose ft Andrew Todd - Head Designer of Finisterre
Q: Why is design for purpose so important to Finisterre?
Because the products must work in extreme conditions, be repairable, and age gracefully; deep down, it's about creating gear that supports people on real journeys, not just looking good.
EP268: Menswear, The Ocean & Purpose ft Andrew Todd - Head Designer of Finisterre
Q: How did your background influence your approach to design at Finisterre?
Growing up around art and a blend of fashion with practical needs, I learned to value objects that endure, function well, and tell a story about the person who uses them.
EP262: Fashion Education: The Reality After Graduation ft Christoph Ritter
Q: What do you wish you had known as a student about the costs and career prospects?
He emphasizes the high tuition, the burden of debt, the actual odds of getting a job in London, and the mismatch between what schools teach and what the industry needs, along with the questionable value of scholarships for show access.
