Q: So what's happening to the Denim & Boots Podcast?

A: It's not going anywhere. But, for the time being, there won't be new episodes published.

Q: So, does that mean the won't be any more episodes from the Denim & Boots Podcast?

A: We don’t know. Honestly, the reason we're taking a break comes down to busy schedules and 9 hours between us, which makes recording increasingly challenging.

Q: Will Jake continue to run the Denim & Boots Podcast on his own then?

A: No, the Denim & Boots Podcast is, and will continue to be, a collaborative project between Jake and Thomas. Since the beginning, it's been produced by Thomas.

Jake and Kyle aka @rocktransformed on Instagram discuss the basics that go into a raw denim wardrobe for beginners or anyone looking to go for a minimalist wardrobe without buying too much.

If you want more from Kyle, check out his blog: https://rocktransformed.wordpress.com/

On this episode of The Denim & Boots Podcast, Thomas is joined by Robin Meijerink aka Robin Denim. They talk about Robin's story, how he got into denim, and what he's learned from running one of the successful Instagram accounts in the world of raw denim.

This podcast is a production of Denimhunters, the platform Thomas started as a denim blog that has become a voice for the denim industry and community. Today, Denimhunters is a consultancy platform, driven by a small team of independent and multidisciplinary pioneers, specialising in business development and communication in the global denim industry.

Before the interview with Robin, in the FAQ of the episode, Thomas shares 3 tips to take better photos for Instagram.

In this episode of The Denim and Boots Podcast, Jake is joined by Patrick aka @tichoblancoshoes on Instagram, a boot enthusiast with a large collection who works at Taft in New York City.

Together, they discuss the topic of small and one man bootmakers. These are people who take their passion for their craft to the next level, favouring quality and independence over profits.

In this episode of The Denim & Boots Podcast, Thomas is joined by Wouter Munnichs from Long John to talk about vintage denim.

Wouter has been collecting vintage denim for +15 years, but his passion for denim goes all the way back to the early 90s when I got a job in the first Diesel store in Holland. He was 17 then.

After his time at Diesel, he started a kids brand called Lvis; helped build a successful streetwear brand; and eventually started consulting for the denim industry.

This interview was recorded at the Bluezone trade show in Munich in February 2020.

In this special 'bonus' episode, editor-in-chief of Men's File, Nick Clements, takes us on a tour around some of his favourite spots in Tokyo.

Nick recorded his montage, which he calls 'the Tokyo Crow,' during the CC Show in October 2019, which coincided with the Typhoon named Hagibis.

You'll hear Nick explain what he sees and the people he talks to (in Japanese!) as he walks around the streets of Tokyo.

On the first episode of season 3 of the podcast, Thomas interview Alex and Giles Padmore from Iron Heart International.

They talk about how the brand got started. How motorcycling has been a key source of inspiration for the brands and how the garments are designed since day one. They talk about heavyweight clothes and the appeal of it, and how Iron Heart do things rather differently online than most other brands. And lastly, they talk about the future of Iron Heart.

On March 9, the podcast is coming back! Yay!!

In this trailer for the third season, Jake and Thomas talk about why the podcast was on a break, how the show will be different (and better) from now on, and last but not least they share who some of the guests will be.

So stay tuned, subscribe, and set your alarms to March 9!

This week on the podcast, Jake talks to Kyle Robinson aka Rocktransformed (formerly 'Cold Summer').

Mike Falkner from Wild Frontier Goods has done something many of us denimheads probably dream about; he's moved to Japan for denim.
