My guest this week is designer Dana Lee of Dana Lee Brown

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.

Fall is here! Peter and Derek discuss what they're excited to wear this season, including shearling outerwear, tweed sport coats, and chunky knitwear. They also talk about some new-ish brands they've been watching, including a compelling Japanese line that feels a bit like Lemaire but is sold at a more accessible price point!

My guest this week is Guy Trebay

Guy is an author and reporter for the style section of the New York Times. Guy has written about style and culture since the 1970s, from the Village Voice, Interview magazine, and countless other publications.

His recently published memoir, Do Something: Coming of Age Amid the Glitter and Doom of ‘70s New York, discusses his early life in the up-and-coming art scene of New York and is an extraordinarily heartwarming and compassionate read. (I highly encourage you all to pick it up. It’s a good one.)

Guy and I discuss the current state of fashion, avoiding burnout, the brands he admires, and how retail is evolving. We also unpack more of his recently published memoir, Do Something.

My guest this week is Mike McLachlan of Manresa.

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.

If you follow Derek on Twitter, you've probably seen photos of David Lane. He's the stylish guy who keeps popping up in Derek's threads about how to dress for different body types. Along with being an art teacher, David runs a custom leather goods business, where he mainly focuses on making handsewn leather watch straps (he even got the co-sign from Hodinkee some years ago when the two did a collab). 

In this week's episode, Peter and Derek talk with David about building a wardrobe if you're a larger guy, selecting the right watch for different types of wardrobes, and what to consider when choosing a watch strap. 

It's a long episode, but good!

Shopping All the Way to the Woods: How the Outdoor Industry Sold Nature to America 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.
