Then, we field some listener questions about style and fashion at large, diving in to some broader topics as well as doing our best to answer some more specific ones.

February 03, 2022 The Sneaker Situation with Dejan Pralica, Co-Founder & CEO of SoleSavy
Need a quality doctor that can see you on your schedule and take your insurance? We all know how difficult that can be, but ZOCDOC makes it easy. Support this week's sponsor at www.zocdoc.com/clubcool

On this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing the co-founder and CEO of SoleSavy, Dejan Pralica. From the company's origin story to what makes the SoleSavy experience unique, DP laid it all out for us. DP remains an avid sneakerhead with an incredibly collection of over 500 sneakers so I also made sure to get his thoughts on the current state of sneaker culture. What's next on his cop list? What brands should we be paying closest attention to this year? Does becoming a Dad mean you never get to cop again??? We got the answers to all of these questions and more.

January 31, 2022 A Field Report From The Mall Plus Brands To Watch For
Find amazing, handmade, unique gifts (especially good for Valentine's Day!) at www.uncommongoods.com/clubcool for 15% off your first order.

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.

January 20, 2022 Breaking Down LVMH's Investment in ALD & Creative Director Appointments
Get better sleep and reduce those stress levels with this week's sponsor: Headspace @ www.headspace.com/clubcool

On this week's pod, Clayton and I offer our insight in to this week's big news: LVMH's "Luxury Ventures" arm has made a minority investment in Aimé Leon Dore. We give our initial reactions, then dive deep on what this could mean for the brand in the near and long term. After a lengthy discussion, we turn our attention to another fashion world development: Rhuigi Villaseñor of Rhude has been named Creative Director at Bally. On the surface, this seems like a head-scratching move for one of streetwear's biggest names so we do our best to figure out why it actually might make a lot of sense before offering up some other names in the space that we expect to be up for similar or even bigger appointments in 2022 and beyond.

January 12, 2022 2022 Outlook: What We're Dropping, What We're Loving, & What We're GORPing
~~~ Find a VIZZY retailer near you at www.vizzyhardseltzer.com/WASHED ~~~

On today's podcast, Clayton Chambers joins me on the pod for his third appearance but first as an official co-host of the show. Phil and I spoke about our style resolutions last week, so this week Clayton and I continue that conversation by hashing out the things we're leaving behind in 2021. Minimalist basics, tailored button ups, topcoats, and even hoodies got put on the chopping block so you'll have to tune in to find out what actually got axed. From there, we move on to gas up the brands we're really focused on in Q1 and Q2 of this year but not before dissecting what on earth is happening with Arc'teryx at the moment. Is it the first brand to ever be memed to death? I have some questions, and Clayton has some answers. So yeah, winter is top of mind, but spring drops are headed this way, and we discuss several brands we'll have an eye on, some of which you've definitely heard of, others maybe not so much. Throughout the entire pod, the rise of GORPcore was a constant touch point, as were Clayton's 2022 predictions which you can find on his Twitter thread here.

December 18, 2021 Tyler, The Creator's Malibu Pop-Up & Succession-Style Suiting
Go show the pod some love by showing our sponsors some as well:

BUY GOOD WINE -- www.theprisonerwine.com/clbcool for 20% off AND free shipping
COP DOPE SNEAKS www.solesavy.com/clubcool for 40% your first month of full access membership

Phil gets in the studio with me on another Friday evening to shoot the shit about being an old person that wants to watch SNL with friends on a Saturday night. We talked about the slew of legendary artists that stopped by Tyler, The Creator's Golf le Fleur pop-up shop in Malibu which sent us in a bunch of different directions, including one that ending up invoking Nelly's clothing line from the early 2000s, Vokal. Next up, more Succession talk, specifically about how you can balance that Amalfi-Coast-vacation-suit look with one that works for business environments stateside. In between and surrounding those conversations, there was a whole bunch of other good shit, so sit back, get dialed in, and come support us on Patreon while you're at it.
