We talk a lot about clothing on this show...I mean, Blamo! is a show about people wearing clothes. Sometimes, we’re trying to figure ourselves out through clothing, solving a problem with the world, flexing our design knowledge, or even all of the above.But what about designing clothing that lasts 100 years or even for climates outside of Earth? Still there? Enter Vollebak.My guest this week is Steve Tidball, of Vollebak, a brand he co-founded with his twin brother. They’re making clothes for the future right now.Steve and I discuss what we need for the next 100 years, the changes that need to happen, whether WALL-E was right, enhanced organisms, trying to live forever, and how clothing is a part of all of it.Vollebak*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch

Surprise, we have a special episode discussing quite possibly one of my favorite watches of all time. Look, if you’re new here, I’m a SeikoBoi, a Seiko Fan (and btw you can be too!) I have been collecting and obsessing over Seikos forever. It’s how I got into watches – and the golden goose, the holy grail; whatever expression you want is the Seiko 62MAS or what many people know as the classic Seiko diver. Seiko recently launched a new version of the 62mas which is almost an identical re-issue of the classic 6217, the SJE093.Naturally, I enlisted the help of Rob Caplan and Zachary Piña from Topper to help me understand this watch, unpack its origins, and learn more about why this little dive watch has every collector going nuts.**Learn more hereListen to Burlingame & Park chat the 62MAS Reissue with Erik Strickland

Patreon Preview from Blamo!When bespoke shoemaker Seiji McCarthy chatted with Peter and Derek last year, he mentioned that he thinks it's much easier to make a living as a craftsperson in Tokyo because of the availability of cheap real estate. So when Joe McReynolds, co-author of the new book Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City, reached out to see if Peter and Derek wanted to chat about urban policy, they jumped at the chance. What makes Tokyo such a particularly good breeding ground for bespoke crafts? McReynolds suggests it's about more than culture—it's also about how we build cities.**Listen to the entire episode and on the Blamo! Patreon
