Patreon Preview from Blamo!Discussions about sustainability often focus on the production end, probing questions such as how things are made and which materials are used. But a big part of this story is how consumers discard stuff they no longer enjoy using. In this episode, Peter and Derek borrow Jonathan Chapman's term "emotional durability" to talk about how we may be able to find clothes that make us as excited in ten years as they do today.**Listen to the entire episode and on the Blamo!

If you're still in that "New year, I'm going to educate myself" moment. I can't think of any other episode as crucial as this one.Mr. G. Bruce Boyer.Bruce is an authority on classic menswear and men's fashion; he was an editor at Town & Country and Esquire and has written about clothing and menswear for over 40 years. From Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper, Duke of Windsor, Bruce is the source.One other thing I want to mention, as you listen to this, Bruce is just the most genuine real deal guy. He's no bullshit. Yeah, he knows about cloth weight and all that stuff, but he also understands that at the end of the day, what matters is how you feel. I genuinely love this guy and am privileged to call him a friend.We recorded this a few years ago, but I relistened to it and was like, dang. It's all bangers.This episode was previously recorded in 2018**My favorite book of his - True Style: The History and Principles of Classic Menswear*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch
