Singularities

In this episode, Johan sits down with our good friend Josh Warner to chat about his journey towards creating Good Art. Josh shares about his upbringing and the joy of working with his hands from a young age, how loneliness breeds creativity, the benefits of ignorance and naïveté when it comes to starting your own company, and finding beauty in utility. Johan and Josh talk about our 20th anniversary collaboration and how it was a heavy project for Josh to take on because of his deep desire to honor the vision properly. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Back in May of 2023, Johan & Andrew recorded an hourlong conversation that was supposed to be chopped up for short form video content; the intent was to share memories and anecdotes from our 20 year history in bite size pieces on social media. As we began to post these clips, we started getting inquiries on where the whole "podcast" could be accessed, which leads us here. We've taken the audio from that conversation and are presenting it to you here uncut. The conversation goes many places but the one all-encompassing theme throughout is a sense of gratitude. We try not take what we do for granted and we hope it shows. Thanks for listening and for journeying with us! See you in the new year.

On the heels of our 20th anniversary collaboration with SF-based design and manufacturing company DSPTCH, Johan & Andrew chat with the company's founder, Rich Liu about his journey towards starting his own brand, the challenges he's overcome along the way and what makes him passionate about creating durable, functional goods. We also look back on our friendship over the years and how that makes for the best kinds of collaborations.

A few weeks back, Johan and Andrew took your question submissions via IG and answered them together after their 20th anniversary party in NY. They chat about what it was like to close up Wilson's after a wild month of service, design inspiration for seasonal collections, how to stay relevant with long-time and newer customers alike, and close out with some sneak previews on upcoming products and collaborations.

A big thank you to our buddy Ryan Impulse for the photo from our 20th anniversary party.

Andrew links up with Cam Niederhauser, owner of Kansas City-based retailer Guevel and proud new dad, to talk about his journey into fashion. They talk about his first job at Baldwin Denim, the resurgence of new American raw denim brands in the #menswear era, and how blogging about the clothing he loves eventually led to selling the clothing he loves. Tap in for some reminiscing on past eras of menswear, what Cam is excited about, and what his plans for Guevel are in the years ahead.

Johan and Andrew sit down on the day of their first day of service at Wilson's, a cafe concept that 3sixteen has opened in their NYC flagship, and take time to reflect on what's gone into getting it off the ground and what they hope to achieve with it.

Thanks to our buddy Herman Yung for the photo of us on our first day of service.
