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

The Ballad of Luigi Mangione is still being written, but that doesn't stop us from weighing in. Also discuss the wares of the new heir to the Roy Denim throne, Reed's new Paraboots, and the alpaca of Uncle Purl.

It's not Black Friday but it sure feels like it the way things are flying off the shelves and the "deals" are stacking up. Albert can't get his DHL package, Reed muses on the state of loafers, David has a temporal break.

Amiri, in my Zuckerberg?? We discuss the nature of weirdos wearing Rag & Bone jeans, Reed's favorite 19th century baseball player, and Albert's newfound obsession with dictator bedazzled timepieces.

We reckon with what clothes will be like for the next four years. Also, are Paraboots popped?

David can't comprehend a simple cartoon, Reed confounds with fake Amazon brand names, Albert transports us to a new realm of Barbour.

Reed is out, cartoon graphic tees from the 80s and 90s are in! David and Albert discuss California's most overpriced grocery store, the future of vintage, and some good old-fashioned pants.
