Quality tailoring begins with quality materials. This week, Peter and Derek talk to Virgil Viret, the managing director of  Lafayette Saltiel Drapiers in Paris. Their shop is a destination spot for bespoke tailors, custom clothiers, and menswear aficionados worldwide, particularly since they have an amazing stockpile of vintage textiles. Peter and Derek talk to Virgil about the structure of the fabric trade, his family's involvement in this business, and how consumers can spot quality materials.

Chase Pion and Quaid Walker are the founders of the watch marketplace app Bezel. We chat about why buying a watch these days has been so hard, why they decided to launch Bezel, dealing with authentication, brands they’ve changed their opinion on, the perfect three watch collection, and watch auctions.

My guest this week is Steve Tidball, of Vollebak, a brand he co-founded with his twin brother. They’re making clothes for the future right now. Steve and I discuss what we need for the next 100 years, the changes that need to happen, whether WALL-E was right, enhanced organisms, trying to live forever, and how clothing is a part of all of it.

Peter and Derek discuss what would bring people back to a brick-and-mortar experience in shopping and what they would like to see themselves.

My guest this week is Albert Muzquiz. You might know him as Edgy Albert or the guy in your feed telling you what pants to wear. He's the real dude, and I'm glad he is here. Albert and I chat about how he became the "Jean Daddy" of the internet, visiting Levi's Archive, his acting career, sick French knives, and LBJ the play.

It's Jeremy Kirkland, Jian DeLeon, and Jon Moy. The Three Musketeers return with a fresh new episode of hot takes galore. We chat about Jian's insane pickup in Tokyo, Jon getting nuts at 18east, Jeremy thinking malls will return. (wtf?), the Mount Rushmore of t-shirt collections, dope new tunes, and the spring summer wardrobe transition.

Seiko recently launched a new version of the 62mas which is almost an identical re-issue of the classic 6217, the SJE093. Naturally, I enlisted the help of Rob Caplan and Zachary Piña from Topper to help me understand this watch, unpack its origins, and learn more about why this little dive watch has every collector going nuts.

When bespoke shoemaker Seiji McCarthy chatted with Peter and Derek last year, he mentioned that he thinks it's much easier to make a living as a craftsperson in Tokyo because of the availability of cheap real estate. So when Joe McReynolds, co-author of the new book Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City, reached out to see if Peter and Derek wanted to chat about urban policy, they jumped at the chance. What makes Tokyo such a particularly good breeding ground for bespoke crafts?...

My guests this week are the Lemon Twigs (Brian and Michael D'Addario) The singer-songwriter virtuoso brothers who are also some of the most stylish folks in music. The boys join us to chat about songwriting, clothes, analog recording, their Jimmy Fallon performance, Tim Heidecker's Office Hours, the best videos on YouTube, Art Garfunkel, Elton John's phone calls, and their new album, A Dream Is All We Know.

Derek and Peter discuss what it was like working with Edward, how to make bespoke suits for women, and a controversial tailoring topic called "straightening & crookening."

Last but not least, on "Hey, Nice Pants!" they both share what has been inspiring them and what they're into this week. All good things! Dig in!

My guest this week is American singer and songwriter Jason Isbell. Jason is a 6x Grammy award-winning musician and happens to love clothes as much as the rest of us. We chat wearing cool hats in the carpool line, listening to music with his daughter, loving Randy Newman, playing in front of Paul McCartney, fast fashion, wearing Rick Owens with the fam, and Dumble amps.

My guest this week is the artist Alynda Segarra of Hurray for The Riff Raff. Alynda and I chat about their new album, The Past is Still Alive, getting fits off on the road, too many voice notes, entering the tailored era, Fran Lebowitz, Andre 3000 and vibe music, leaning on stress, oversized western wear, good smelling candles, and The Clash.

Discussions about sustainability often focus on the production end, probing questions such as how things are made and which materials are used. But a big part of this story is how consumers discard stuff they no longer enjoy using. In this episode, Peter and Derek borrow Jonathan Chapman's term "emotional durability" to talk about how we may be able to find clothes that make us as excited in ten years as they do today.

My guest this week is Christopher Gove, founder of Percival. Christopher and I chat about their recent popup in NYC, getting basics right, fake hardcore fans, the influencer world, spicy takes, getting fits off in the pickup line, commercial vs creative, and the multi-year plan.

My guest this week is the writer, Bruce Boyer. Bruce and I discuss his life growing up in Pennsylvania, how music helped shape his life, and how writing an article about the Duke of Windsor led him to become one of the most celebrated writers in menswear. This episode was previously recorded in 2018

With a new year ahead, Peter and Derek discuss how you may be able to expand your wardrobe this year to include more casual attire. They also take readers' questions. How does someone find a good local tailor near them? What should someone wear if they work in the manual trades? Which pair of shoes works well in both semi-casual and formal settings? Tune in.

This week's guest is writer, podcaster (and recent watch addict) Jesse David Fox. Jesse and I discuss his recent book Comedy Book: How Comedy Conquered Culture–and the Magic That Makes It Work, imposter syndrome, Seth Meyers, Todd Snyder suits, getting fits off on interviews, and becoming a watch guy.

Jeremy, Jian, and Jon revisit ’23 and discuss best/worst purchases, how we get dressed, Jeremy hates all his clothes again, 20 years of Thom Browne, what went wrong, what went right, watching movies on TikTok, trend reports, SNL, buying cars, and holiday hijinx.
