My guest this week is Simon Crompton of Permanent Style https://www.permanentstyle.com. Simon and I dug into some stuff we’ve discussed a ton over the years - do "the rules" of getting dressed matter? And if you’re so obsessed with “the rules” of dressing, do you miss out on the joy of getting dressed? We discuss how technology and chatbots have woven into brands and e-commerce, and what’s still worth obsessing over. Dig in!

My guest this week is designer Dana Lee https://www.instagram.com/danaleebrown_official/ of Dana Lee Brown https://danaleebrown.com If the name rings a bell, this isn’t her first time making clothes; she used to run her brand as Dana Lee in the late aughts. I remember getting her twill pants, which I still own, and they were simple, well made, and classic. She recently re-launched her brand not long ago after taking some time off, and it’s incredible. It’s a small collection, but as you’ll hear, it’s not made or manufactured the way her previous one was. In fact, she’s one of the few brands I know that are leading the way in this “farm to loom” production. In fact, all of her stuff is made in a relatively local radius. It makes you think more. We chatted about her brand, why she manufactures this way, and her work with local makers to create the best menswear. * Sponsored by Bezel https://shop.getbezel.com - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch

My guest this week is MIKE MCLACHLAN of Manresa https://manresaclothing.com. Before we dive in, I have to say Mike gets into it, and I think his openness, vulnerability, and candor are among the things that truly set him apart. I’m not going to get philosophical here, but Mike constantly admits that he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know; he’s just trying to make the best brand he can. Which, as you’ll hear, is working. Mike and I discuss the origins of Manresa, big brother style, sobriety, the recent GQ article declaring GORP is dead, making clothes for things you actually do, and what’s next for the brand.

https://patreon.com/blamo Shopping All the Way to the Woods: How the Outdoor Industry Sold Nature to America https://www.amazon.com/dp/0300270089/ isn't necessarily about men's style, but it explores an important theme that can be easily transposed to any discussion about menswear. It's a book about how people buy outdoor gear to create an idea of a more "authentic self" and connect with nature. Derek chats with the author and professor, Rachel Gross, about her research and how commercial culture is tied to creating identity. ** Listen to the entire episode and on the BLAMO!
