American Fashion Podcast — exploring innovation and sustainability across the industry

Tailor made in America. Charles Beckwith makes a statement about why this podcast is being made, and then professional tailors Alexander Mars and Mack Moze speak in-depth on bespoke clothing and men’s style. Why should you seldom dry-clean a suit? Why do suits have vents? Why have slight variations of the suit persisted as a male uniform for so long? What makes a good first suit? All questions addressed in this episode of… American Fashion Podcast.
