Amekaji, vintage workwear and making in Japan - with Bryan "Rite-Stuff" Shettig: The guest in this episode is Bryan Shettig. Bryan owns the brand Rite-Stuff, specialising in the reproduction of early 1900's workwear. I wanted to talk to him about having garments made in Japan, whether the quality is as legends say and also about the challenges involved in finding a factory. We get into quite a lot of other stuff as well, so it made for an interesting hour-long chat. by Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.
