Barrett and Phil are back together in the studio to talk about some of the biggest trends for the upcoming fall season. To start it off, there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is BPC. That's right, it's the Big Phunky Cardigan. Has the Big Plaid Coat been officially knocked off its mantle or is this town big enough for the both of them? Next up, we take a dive in to footwear. A lot as stayed the same tbh: Birk Bostons and all types of mules and clogs are still super hot. You already know the list of sneakers (Dunks, Js, AF1s, Chucks, Vans, & NBs), but what's happening with boots this season? And has anything fallen off? Find out when you listen. Finally, we put a bow on it with a little pants talk, which always seems to be a difficult piece of the wardrobe to nail, especially when there's more choice than ever.

July 22, 2021 Kanye's Dropping, GQ's "New American Sportswear," + A Natural Wine Realization
Get your mind correct with the best meditation app in the game, HEADSPACE: www.headspace.com/clubcool

We are back for another edition of the Club Cool Podcast. On today's sode, we hit the headlines. First up, Kanye's dropping DONDA on Friday, and he blessed the 'Grom with a freaking Outfit Grid featuring a bunch of things we said were trending like six weeks ago, so if you don't mind, we're gassin' ourselves up a bit: Leather pants, check. Blouson style jacket, check. Big B Bottega, check. Kanye still mattering a ton even when we want to quit him, check. Next, I explain to Phil the realization I've had that Natural Wine is wine for.... beer drinkers. Maybe? Maybe I'm just on a new kick and excited about it. Also, if LeBron wins another ship, he's gotta be poppin' Pet Nats post-game, right? Finally, even though we weren't fully prepped and read on the column, we did have to give some coverage to Rachel Tashjian's GQ column, "Introducing the New American Sportswear," where she basically confirms that the dinosaur of a mag does know what brands people listening to and/or making podcasts are talking most about.

July 01, 2021 Jacques Marie Mage Sunglasses: Are They Worth It?
Barrett and Phil are in the studio to discuss some trending topics of the week including the Louis-Vuitton-embellished Nike Air Force Ones Virgil Abloh just sent down the SS22 runway and why they're important. PLUS, Justin Bieber is volume shooting on the Gram while vacationing in Greece, and Barrett has a special (and demoralizing) relationship with the Bode shirt that JB loves so much he posted four kit pics in a row while wearing it. On the back half of the pod, Barrett reveals he's made a splurge purchase and finally picked up a pair of JMM sunglasses, so the dudes discuss why they cost so much from a production POV and if, overall, the shades feel like a WORTHY spend.

June 24, 2021 Bringing Button Ups Back & The First Dance With Mary Janes
Get yourself properly meditated with the brilliant Headspace App. Your first month's on us at headspace.com/clubcool.

On today's podcast, Phil and Barrett talk through reservation difficulties, the return of Espresso Martinis, and the satisfaction delivered by a charred vegetable on one's plate. Then, the boys jump in to some show & tell/sneaker talk, as Barrett has been on a lukewarm streak of mediocre Ws. Also referenced during this discussion: Highsnobiety's new article about collaborations killing the sneaker game (is it though?) and Union's latest Jordan IV release. That convo segues in to a potential men's Mary Janes trend that's bubbling, and then finally they round everything out with an important burning question: Is it time to bring the button up back?

June 17, 2021 Fifty Dunks, YZY GAP, Rowing Blazers x Seiko, PLUS Vacation Recaps
Support the pod, check us out: www.patreon.com/clubcool

Is anybody even reading this anymore? We start out with some Yeezy talk. As much as I want to be done with the guy, he remains a pop culture fixture, and the man still has his pulse on what's coming next with regards to fashion and streetwear. You know we had to talk Irina and of course touch on the blue puffer jacket thing as well. Next up: just what the hell is Virgil doing with these fifty near-identical Dunks? Like, are they making a thousand of each of these or what? This sort of seems too good to be true (copping-wise) which means there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye. Virgil and Nike are both marketing geniuses, so don't write this off as a lazy throw-away just yet. Finally, before we drop our vacay recaps, we give some attention to the Rowing Blazers x Seiko watches dropping tomorrow (today?). They seem legit.

After that, we talk Cali vacations, but mostly we just emphasize our shock/awe that anybody leaves there for here. What the hell is wrong with you people?!?!?

Ok, that's it, love you, bye.

June 03, 2021 Tasting Menus, Dive Bars, & Bonus Vacay Shoes
Barrett and Phil convene after the long weekend to recap their joint staycation and expound on some additional candidates for "Perfect Vacation Shoe" that they didn't include last week. They also take some time to explore why dive bars seem to be having such a moment right now before exploring their shared interest in Eleven Madison Park's new completely vegan tasting menu. Last, but not least, they take a listener call from the hotline about what to wear to a non-team sporting event. (Care to leave us a voicemail???

May 27, 2021 Trunks for Swimming, Shoes for Beaching, and Jackets for Throupling
It's all in the title, man!

Phil and Barrett are in the studio to talk about their favorite swim trunk options and to discuss that tricky question of what shoes to throw in the vacation bag when you're trying to hit the pool, stroll the beach, and of course, still get kits off. Also discussed: The best route to take from South Austin to the COTA race track. Oh, yes, and Taika Waititi (the God of Love & Thunder himself) kicks off Hot Vax Summer down under with an epic balcony show for the paps.

May 20, 2021 Phil Irons His T-Shirts & Streetwear Takes Over the Mall
Check out today's sponsor, the Headspace app, for all of your wellness and meditation needs: www.headspace.com/clubcool

Barrett and Phil get together to talk about addiction to the SHOP app, break down Justin Bieber's disheveled new lewk, and give a review of Nike's new South Congress shop. On the back half of the pod, the dudes discuss Brendon Babenzien's appointment as J.Crew's new Chief Menswear Designer. Can the former Supreme creative director/brain behind Noah save the flailing brand? Additionally, does this mean our old favorite mall stores are finally buying in to the demand for streetwear? With Kanye's new Gap line coming soon and Jerry Lorenzo's ESSENTIALS line putting up numbers for PacSun, are we entering a potentially exciting era for these accessibly priced stalwarts of men's fashion? Or, are these moves just another example of dinosaurs moving too slowly. Is it too little, too late? Time will tell, but it certainly seems like a conversation that will continue to bubble up.
