Description

My guest today is John Sugden of Campbell's of Beauly, a traditional highland tailor and accessories shop outside Inverness with a continuous history going back to 1858. We get into his background in the garment industry, the place of traditional tailoring and fabrics in modern times, how workers on the Highland estates still use unique tweeds for their workwear, doing ethical business in times of fast fashion, the role of profit margins, Royal Warrants and in general running a business far from the madding crowd.Campbell's of Beauly is @campbellsofbeauly on Instagram and campbellsofbeauly.com on the web.Nick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram. You can email Nick as WellDressedDad (at) Gmail.com.

Garmology is a podcast about our clothes, old and new, how they are made, the impact they have, from a perspective of buying, wearing, collecting, evaluating and appreciating. With interesting guests, the aim is to provide a non-fashion view on the world of our clothes. Expect plenty of opinions, but pretty much no mention of tailoring or pocket squares.  Garmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen. There is no advertising or sponsorship, but you are welcome to support the podcast at buymeacoffee.com/garmology Garmology theme music by Fabian Stordalen.
