Roaringly retro - with Sophie Bainbridge of Stanley Biggs Clothiers (#36): 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 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? by Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.
