Even though we are huge fans of fashion and style we seem to constantly be fighting this battle between fashion and the environment. As we learnt in our "fashion problem" episode, many clothing companies are destroying the environment in an effort to manufacture cheap disposable clothing. However, we explore how Son Of A Tailor has been using new manufacturing techniques to create a luxury product with very little waste!

Coffee has been a long term obsession for us, we are always looking for ways to create a better cup of coffee, improvements or upgrades! Following our V60 episode a lot of you guys have now caught the coffee bug and are now using a pour over system in your everyday routine.

In this episode we have collaborated with Fellow and Acaia on their Stagg Pour Over kit and the Acaia Pearl S. We brake down exactly how it has benefited our daily routine and whether or not it has enabled us to consistently make a better cup of coffee

The practice of minimalism has been an active pursuit support by both myself and Umar. Minimalism is more then owning less, it is about having less but having the best. Since our last episode on sneakers we received a significant amount of interest on us to explore more minimalist sneakers, this of course lead us to the Northampton kings, Crown Northampton. 

In this episode we discuss the manufacturing process, the brains behind the company and the beauty of the final product. Brew a cup and join us for a chat!
