Description
A new year and a fresh season of Garmology! In this episode, my guest is Sophie Bainbridge, co-founder of Stanley Biggs Clothiers and total enthusiast for the roaring '20s. Stanley Biggs a heritage clothing brand, unashamedly inspired by the past, in style as well as in spirit, taking a firm stand against fast fashion and offshoring by producing hats, knitwear and more in the UK.Sophie and I talk about the route from living history to reenactment and on to the possibility of Cosplaying a full-on vintage menswear style. Underway Sophie regals me with tales of derring-do in an 80-year-old Austin Chummy and how the comfort zone is challenged, speed limits inapplicable and long-distance travel are actually possible. A big question arises as to how the sense of smell may be impacted by having racks of old clothes in your living room, and how do you actually make that happen?You can find Stanley Biggs Clothiers on Instagram as @StanleyBiggsClothiers and also the web as StanleyBiggs.co.ukGarmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen.

Why do some brands become favorites? - with Nick & Dachi: S00E06: In this episode, my co-host is my friend Dachi from Brighton and we enjoy a Sunday morning chat about brands that find favour with us, and why that is so. We ruminate upon what may make a brand interesting and whether a designer working on his own may be more interesting creatively than design by committee. by Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.
