Blamo!

When Derek visited Naples about ten years ago, many of the older Italian tailors told him they were worried about the future of their trade. As more tailors retire, fewer and fewer young people are taking their place. Yet, the scarcity of young tailors has only made it more exciting to see new people pick up needles and shears. In our first episode of Blamo Presents: Derek Guy, we talk about some of the more exciting tailoring houses today, what you can expect to pay for a bespoke suit, and the stash of rare Apparel Arts magazines Jeremy found at a garage sale.  Derek's Article from Die!

Isaiah gets into how he relates to Jennifer Garner in Alias, what he learned from Octo-mom, and his love for a good jean short. Jeremy and Isaiah discuss the awkwardness of wearing sports jerseys of players younger than themselves, always wanting to be journal dudes but never quite getting there, and they go deep on sneaker entitlement and the sense of apology for being able to afford things now that they couldn't growing up. *Sponsored by Standard & Strange – Get the facts on denim 👖 hereandWhatnot - Join us for our exclusive show on watches, clothes and more

On the first episode of the Triple J show, Jeremy, Jian, and Jon fantasize about future ad-read possibilities, what they’ve been up to since that last time they chatted, clout chasing via Japan, and that one time Jian got cart jacked IRL. Jon grills Jian about the food at the Met and Goldhouse Co. Galas. They also talk about the latest Dior and Balenciaga collections, generational reference points, Jian expounds on his concept of “Hoodie Couture” and Jeremy applies postmodernist criticism to haute couture which prompts Jon to try to say something in French. The guys talk about how inspiration sources have changed over the years and if it’s harder now to develop a personal sense of style. Hit us up with questions, comments, thoughts, and any topics you’d like the J’s to discuss on the Blamo! Slack Channel.  **Follow the fellas on IGJian DeLeonJon MoyJeremy Kirkland**Listen to the entire episode on the Blamo! Patreon
