Our first of many, Deep Dives. An episode solely focused (dammit pun) on one item in a wardrobe with an expert...

This time...Boots. 

The episode where Jeremy tries to understand boots more and asks normal/dumb questions about footwear. Jeremy and Jeremy (Smith) chat about Visvim, Clinch, and all the Japanese boot companies that continue to blow everyone’s minds. Journey down the rabbit hole at your own risk.

 Heads up, this episode is a rerelease –– new episodes coming soon.

My guest this week is David Keyte, co-founder of Universal Works.

David and I spoke about his early career working for Paul Smith, the origin of Universal Works, and why the plan is always, to never have one.

You wanted it, and you got it.

We're pleased to host an incredibly special roundtable episode discussing Grand Seiko.

Featuring Grand Seiko Brand Curator Joe Kirk and Rob Caplan of Topper Jewelers.

We debate speaking in reference numbers, flexing on folks with Zaratsu polishing, where to start with Grand Seiko, why quartz is dope, the new Tentagraph, and what on earth a Spring Drive actually does…and yes, we do a wrist check.

This week's guest is Dustin Payseur, founder and vocalist of Beach Fossils.

If you're Jeremy, Beach Fossils is the band that always makes it to the playlist and gets the fits off while doing it.

Dustin chats about their new album Bunny, how becoming a parent affected his songwriting, why he doesn't wear jeans anymore, loving black Timberlands, the Beach Fossils songs that won't get released, getting wild on tour, and his love of poetry. It's all in there.

We’re back with your favorite menswear guy…Derek Guy that is!

We end up accidentally going down a deep rabbit hole with scents and perfumes, discuss why we love chore coats, Derek’s book recommendations, beefing with Ted Cruz on Twitter, explaining the evolution of the modern suit, and last but not least, we go through what we’re excited about wearing this spring and Derek’s answer is quite surprising.

Tune in, sound off.

My guest this week is Johan Lam.

Johan is the co-owner of 3sixteen, co-owner of Self Edge NY/LA, and founder / co-owner of MAAPS. He does a lot, but he’s more interested in being a dad, and there are many reasons why…

Johan and I discuss his life growing up in Northern California, dealing with Dad issues, secret fit pics, his journey in clothes, claiming the color orange in school, avoiding hype, how slow and steady is a good life and 20 years of 3sixteen.

It’s getting hot out, but the fits are getting hotter. This week we’re chatting summer fits.

We chat about Jian’s quiet luxury, leather pants, ask why movies define style so much, bond and the best Bond era, Riviera Polo fits, the difference between a t-shirt and an undershirt (tbh wild debate), when to wear shorts and flex underwear!

Hang on tight. Here we go!

My guest this week is comedian, and writer, Kareem Rahma.

Kareem has taken the internet and entertainment world by storm with, Keep The Meter Running, a hilarious show profiling taxi drivers that Vanity Fair has called one of TikTok’s best new series, and his live music shows. It’s quite a bit, but Kareem doesn’t know how to stop. His motto is “keep going,” and Kareem certainly is.

Kareem and I discuss the origins of Keep The Meter Running, searching for connections to family, his upcoming feature film, making music, leaning into yourself, American Movie, and touching the stove.
