I've known Jake Grantham for nearly ten years, and it has been incredible to watch his rise.

Originally from London, Jake moved to HK to join the first team at The Armoury. He met Alex Pirounis there, and they both eventually left to start their shop in London called Anglo Italian. If you want to hear more about that, I def encourage you to listen to Jake's first pod we did together.

Since then, it's been an upward rise in this little world of menswear. From Anglo Italian's jeans to knits. They've nailed this classic/casual/chic aesthetic.

Jake's a bit of an old soul, and while he has a keen eye for detail and aesthetics, he's done a fantastic job with retail and e-commerce. SO much that when lockdown hit, they were able to pivot quite well to online only.

I reached out to Jake to check in and hear how quarantine has had him do some deep thinking. Jake and I discussed how their business evolved in quarantine, why he's anxious to visit the National Gallery, and what Anglo Italian is working for this fall.

It's Blamo! Extra and Jake Grantham is back.
