My guest this week is designer Dana Lee of Dana Lee BrownIf 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 - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch

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.Manresa Clothing*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch
