Phil joins me in the studio on a Friday afternoon, and I proceed to talk at him for an hour.  First up, I give him the rundown from my most recent mall experience.  What was good?  What was bad?  What's the heritage "mall brand" that's usurping J.Crew as the de facto recommendation for stylish guys looking for inexpensive pickups?  What is happening at the food court?  All those questions and more get an answer.  Then, I highlight some "new" brands that I'm really feeling this year.  Phil adds his classic doses of incredulity and banter, per uje.

After some technical difficulties and a multitude of scheduling conflicts, Phil and I were finally able to bang out two sessions for this extra-long 'sode.  We had a great time and found ourselves meandering throughout, but the main topics were as follows:



1) Brad Pitt is crushing custom looks (shouts to Haans!) on the press tour for Bullet Train including an instantly-infamous brown linen skirt followed up by a tailored rig anchored with Gucci Gazelles.

2) Apparently, #Sandlercore was a dominant TikTok trend with GenZ girls last summer, but this summer, it's resurgence has just made us feel better about looking like a slob, like, most of the time.

3) Everybody's talking about it, so of course, we had to add our two cents.  Brendon Babenzian's J.Crew is finally here.

On today's podcast, I give it a solo effort, ruminating on why certain brands show runway collections that don't fully get produced before diving in to some listener questions regarding shorts and the propensity to collect specific garments or accessories for archival reasons.

From Washed Media and the Sunday Scaries podcast, Will DeFries joins me on the episode for a great conversation.  We cover the following main topics, plus a whole lot more:

- Aimé Leon Dore just opened a gorgeous new store in London.  We talk about the shop's aesthetic and then revisit our experiences in ALD's other locations.

- Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker get married.  When you get married in your 40s, you're allowed to have a themed wedding.  What would our themes be?

- Tom Sachs x NikeCraft "General Purpose Shoe" releases next week.  How do we feel about the marketing?  What about the fact that the shoe is being made to seem democratic but will inevitably resale for thousands?
