Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.

In this weeks episode titled "The art of the prance", my chum Dachi is back for another highbrow chat about a vital topic within garmology, prancing, or as some may refer to it, "pimping the fit", "gilding the garms" or even "peacocking". We're talking about adding flair to the mundane, mashing up the normcore and disobeying rules with a vengeance. At least that was what we set out to do, though we may have experienced topic drift underway. Still, a vital chat featuring two opinionated guys. Possibly unmissable.Dachi is Rugged_Frills on InstagramNick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.

The guest in this episode is Bryan Shettig. Bryan owns the brand Rite-Stuff, specialising in the reproduction of early 1900's workwear. I wanted to talk to him about having garments made in Japan, whether the quality is as legends say and also about the challenges involved in finding a factory. We get into quite a lot of other stuff as well, so it made for an interesting hour-long chat.Bryan Shettig is RiteStuff_Bryan on Instagram and his company is The Rite-StuffNick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.

The world of influencers is a strange and new one. On the one hand, it's one of the most aspired to jobs among teens today, on the other, it's clearly not without controversy. What exactly is influencing all about, and is it strictly above board? In this episode, I talk to influencer and social media guru Nik Speller and get the lowdown.Nik Speller is @nikspeller on InstagramNick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.

The title really does say it all. In this episode, Shaun is back for a chat and the topic is clothing we don't like. Garmental prejudice, if you like. There is even disagreement about certain items, so the tension is running high. Controversial topics are put on the table, only to be quickly snatched away. Some marginally sage advice is even dispersed. In a brief survey, 8/10 respondents rated this episode as "quite ok", so clearly it's unmissable!Shaun is @these_rough_notes on InstagramNick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.

Much is said about the environmental impact and sustainability of our clothes. Which fibres are good, which are not so good. Should we upcycle, recycle, downcycle, send to landfill or wear them threadbare? What role do chemicals play, and are they all good? In this episode, I talk with Norwegian Research Professor Ingun Grimstad Klepp at Oslo Metropolitan University. Ingun researches sustainable textiles, clothing, laundry and leisure consumption and has written numerous articles and books of these themes.The answers to the questions above are both startling and uncomfortable!Norwegian:Find more information about Ingun Grimstad Klepp and her research hereHer two most recent books for consumers:Lettstelt - about how we should wash out clothesLettkledd - about what really goes into the making of our clothesNick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.

S00E06:In this episode, my co-host is my friend Dachi from Brighton and we enjoy a Sunday morning chat about brands that find favour with us, and why that is so. We ruminate upon what may make a brand interesting and whether a designer working on his own may be more interesting creatively than design by committee. Dachi is Rugged_Frills on InstagramNick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.
