Sashiko - Reinforcing Japanese Stitches (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sashiko is the age old Japanese technique of repairing and reinforcing fabric with rows of decorative running stitches. This little piece of reinforcing thread began over a thousand years ago and has been a mainstay of Japanese peasants, martial artists, and even firefighters. So if you’ve ever seen some of those awe-inspiring pics of people who have put dozens of hours into customizing their denim and wondered what that was all about, so spool up as we wind back on the past millennium of sashik
The Bell Bottom Tolls for Thee - A History of Flared Jeans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we are talking about that oft-derided denim style that was relegated to the disco era. This type of cut can go by many names: bell-bottoms, boot cuts, flares, darts. However you slice it, these inverse-tapered fits usually have a tight fitting top block but are flowing and breezy at the ankle. As bell-bottoms begin to ring again, let’s take a look at some of the backstory behind these flared jeans. Thanks again to our sponsor Meermin and thank you for listening and until next time keep it
Anyone for Tennis? A History of Serving in Style (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are currently in the midst of the US Tennis Open being held at the Arthur Ashe arena in Queens, New York, named after one of the most stylish tennis stars of the 20th century, and believe me, there were a lot of them.

So stick around as we dive into tennis shoes, sweatbands, and everything in between on today’s Blowout.
What the Shell? All About Shell Cordovan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We spend an awful lot of time and a lot of digital ink discussing the finer qualities of leather and there is arguably no finer cut than shell cordovan. You may have seen it on a pair of loafers, a wallet, or a watch strap and immediately recoiled that it was over double the price of the calfskin or chromexcel equivalent. And there’s still a label stamped on the inside of the thing! Get ready to come out of your shell as we get under the skin of the near mythical shell cordovan on today’s Blowou
Robin's Egg Blue - The Ancient Appeal of Turquoise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve seen it inlaid in rings, pendants, bolo ties, squash blossom necklaces, conchos, studs, and more. It dots the hands and necks of those devoted to Southwestern Americana aesthetics. But its story reaches far beyond our corner of the world. Though this beautifully teal-hued gemstone often feels synonymous with vintage and heritage-inspired fashion, its history stretches much further. So stick around as we explore this colorful rock and why you may want to rock it on your next cuff, necklace
