Description
If you're still in that "New year, I'm going to educate myself" moment. I can't think of any other episode as crucial as this one.Mr. G. Bruce Boyer.Bruce is an authority on classic menswear and men's fashion; he was an editor at Town & Country and Esquire and has written about clothing and menswear for over 40 years. From Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper, Duke of Windsor, Bruce is the source.One other thing I want to mention, as you listen to this, Bruce is just the most genuine real deal guy. He's no bullshit. Yeah, he knows about cloth weight and all that stuff, but he also understands that at the end of the day, what matters is how you feel. I genuinely love this guy and am privileged to call him a friend.We recorded this a few years ago, but I relistened to it and was like, dang. It's all bangers.This episode was previously recorded in 2018**My favorite book of his - True Style: The History and Principles of Classic Menswear*Sponsored by Standard & Strange

S02E07: Mordechai Rubinstein (Mister Mort): My guest this week is Mordechai Rubinstein. In most circles, he's known as Mister Mort, but don’t call him that, he’s a reluctant anthropologist. Mordechai and I discussed his early days at Jack Spade, doing PR for Marc Jacobs and discovering beauty in the everyday uniform. mistermort.com Jack Spade Pop-Up Fashion Show in Bryant Park S/S 2008 https://youtu.be/ccgjLO2Fekc by Blamo!
