Albert returns from his European tour with tales of watches, wonders, French workwear, Portuguese shellfish and more.

It's cold in LA, the DMV is bad, Tilden Jeans are good, free Mahmoud Khalil, 45rpm can be had for a steal on Grailed, and other red hot takes on this week's Neverrong.

Albert regales with tales of the great white north, including his most recent visit to Taco Bell! David laments the difficulty of selling used clothing online and both are bemused about what J.Crew's washed denim suit portends for the future of jeans. No Reed, sorry!

Albert's in Alaska, so Reed and David immediately take the opportunity to discuss Taco Bell. Once that's out of their system, they move on to the new Supreme lookbook, a third round of Tom Sachs Mars Yards, and the weird energy of the Palm Springs Modernism Show.

Denim fits are having a vibe shift...so are graphic tees. We discuss the aftermath of the Super Bowl halftime show and why we still unfortunately have to talk about Kanye.

Albert is heading north, very north and discusses his trip to Alaska for the Fur Trapper Rendezvous which leads Reed down a long discussion of dog sled racing and David fails to get in his Trap House joke. Also discussed the aesthetics of plant ownership, conservatives laughable association with made in USA, and what the tariff situation could mean for clothing. It's fun!

The utility of bandanas, the scourge of AI, the aesthetics of modern conservatism, and the shrinking of Albert's jeans. All are discussed intensely with the absence of Reed on this week's installment of Neverrong.

So social media is pretty much unequivocally evil, now. Albert got some good finds at Greenspan's, David lives his Japanese dream.

Welcome to our first episode of what's shaping up to be a banner year. Our trio discusses the fallout of the LA fires, Kapital's acquisition by LVMH, and how Tiktok has moved us closer to the influence of the CCP with Rednote.

Is this a real Grailed account? We don't know, but we sure can speculate. One thing we can't speculate on is this incredible piece of academia Albert dug up on early 20th century workwear from historian Sunshine Psota: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288417219_Boss_of_the_road_Early-20th-century_consumer_selections_of_work_clothing_from_Alabama_Gates_Work_Camp_Owens_Valley_California
