- Wesley Smith has a great take.
I didn’t know how much I was going to like this episode because the fashion part was stated upfront, but I loved Wesley Smith’s take, especially on T-shirts. T-shirts are a very individual thing and I love the way he thinks about them. I also really loved it that a lot of the Watch conversation was about IWC. I think the brand gets short shift, especially in the United States. Keep up the great work.

I also love these podcasts. Not only can I listen on the go, but the content is usually expanded or different in some way. Tony’s time with Hodinkee plus his previous experience with Eric Wind on Significant Watches (RIP) makes him a great interviewer or monologuer, unlike a lot of other single person recorded content.
