My guest this week is the musician, artist, and composer Keaton Henson.Keaton is one of my favorite artists. He’s a rare songwriter whose music feels like it should always be playing somewhere in the background of your life. The kind of songs you immediately replay because there’s so much feeling, detail, and restraint packed in that you’re convinced you missed something the first time. You know exactly what I mean.Keaton and I talk about his new album Parader, good clothes and big jumpers, suits as a form of armor, life in Surrey, collecting, and what’s been holding his attention lately.Listen to "Loose Ends" at the end of the episodeWatch the video for "Insomnia" on YouTube*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One of my favorite guests returns for a three-peat: Todd Snyder.Todd is exceptionally good at what he does, and he understands every part of building a brand — not just how to make clothes, but how to make a brand that lasts.We discuss the role tailoring continues to play in shaping his world and why it remains central to the brand's identity. We get into the tier of “good, better, best,” and what it means to grow retail without losing your soul. We dig into collaborations that make sense, not just noise, and how the holidays change everything — for the business and the customer.*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to the first installment of our new quarterly AMA series, generously sponsored by our friends at Bezel. Derek and Peter received far more questions than any reasonable human beings should, so they spent over two hours trying to answer as many as possible. They get into dressing for your body type, keeping your clothes in good shape, finding budget brands that don’t feel like compromises, picking accessories that actually help, and choosing outerwear that works in real life rather than just in lookbooks.*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying, selling or insuring your next luxury watch  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My guest this week is Geoff Snack.Geoff teaches illustration and openly admits he doesn’t know how to draw—but he absolutely knows what looks good. His taste level and his instinct for curation are a big part of why your favorite stores feel so welcoming and inspiring.He’s a book dealer, a vintage dealer, and one of those people who just has that thing—the perfect mix of humility, good taste, IYKYK energy, and storytelling.Geoff and I get into reconciling “cool” with work, everyone’s obsession with Donald Judd, the art of editing, and whether or not you should actually write in the books you own.Geoff's Shop *Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo!It’s a new episode of Die, Workwear with Derek Guy and Peter Zottolo.A lot of guys who are into menswear nowadays get into the hobby through shoes — and with that, learning how to take care of their newly acquired purchases. Shoe shining, in particular, can be therapeutic for today's keyboard class. But historically, it was a rough trade taken up by orphans, newly arrived immigrants, and the most marginalized in society.Peter and Derek talk about the history of shoe shining, and how it moved from what was widely considered a lowly profession to now an elevated craft with global competitions and boutique French products.Plus, as always, a nice serving of “Hey, Nice Pants!”**Listen to the entire episode on the Blamo!

This week on Blamo!, we’re joined by a true designer’s designer: Nur Abbas. Nur is based in Portland, Oregon, and his résumé reads like a tour through every corner of modern fashion. He’s designed for Margiela, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton; worked alongside Christophe Lemaire on UniqloU; served as Design Director for Nike ACG; and even did a stint at Yeezy.What struck me most in our conversation is how seamlessly he’s moved between worlds—ultra-luxury houses and global, accessible brands—and how much they actually have in common. Nur has a rare perspective on what ties them together and what separates them.We dive into his design studio, Onlylight; his new project, Parsel; gorp culture and the legacy of Nike ACG; why it’s always the person—not the clothes—that makes a fit; and how the best design is almost always a team sport.PARSELgnuhr*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
