Patreon Preview from Blamo! It's Die, Workwear! Derek and Peter take a break from their Wardrobe Series to chat with Matthew Gonzalez, a Southern California native who made his way from an alterations room in Irvine to London, Huntsman, and eventually his own bespoke tailoring business on Savile Row. Matthew's work sits at a fascinating crossroads: classic American style, British tailoring tradition, and the realities of making clothing for people today. The conversation gets into his path through the trade, what makes tailoring feel American without becoming costume, the romance and economics of Savile Row, why bespoke still matters, and how the best clothes are shaped not just by rules, but by the person wearing them. https://www.matthewgonzalez.co.uk ** Listen to the FULL episode on the Blamo!

Patreon Preview from Blamo! The Wardrobe Series continues, and this time the budget gets tight. With just $1,000 to spend, Derek and Peter attempt to rebuild a wardrobe from the ground up—making hard choices about what matters, what can wait, and where to stretch every dollar. The result is less about shopping and more about priorities. What are the pieces you actually need? Which ones earn their place? And how much style can you really buy on a budget? Plus: the Met Gala, menswear rabbit holes, and a few recent obsessions. ** Listen to the FULL episode on the Blamo! Patreon  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo! Welcome to the first installment of Die, Workwear!'s new series on building a wardrobe without taking out a second mortgage.    The premise is simple: if your closet disappeared tomorrow and you had $3,000 to rebuild it from scratch, what would you actually buy?   Not fantasy grails. Not “quiet luxury.” Real clothes Derek and Peter would genuinely wear themselves: sport coats, tropical wool trousers, vintage eBay overcoats, loopwheeled T-shirts, Cone Mills denim, penny loafers, and a surprising amount of discussion about sweatshirts.   Along the way, Peter tries to justify $140 OCBDs, Derek explains the perfect vintage-straight jean fit, and both make a compelling case for buying old Ralph Lauren off eBay instead of almost anything new. ** Listen to the FULL episode on the Blamo!

Derek Guy and Peter Zottolo are back for AMA #2, generously sponsored by our friends at Bezel! They get into the idea of “essentials,” dressing your age (or not), and how much stock to put in the usual menswear rules. There's talk of slouchy fits (when they work, when they don't), value brands, sneakers, vertical layering, and the ongoing debate of shopping online vs actually going into a store. Plus, the kind of impulse purchases you try not to think about again. It's thoughtful, opinionated, and about getting to a place where getting dressed feels a little more intuitive—and a lot less stressful.   * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying, selling, or insuring your next luxury watch  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patreon Preview from Blamo!Sometimes, the world of menswear can get niche, as people dive into different rabbit holes. There are sashiko field jackets, patchwork Ivy Style tweeds, and dark, artisanal styles that look like they'd be worn by a forger in 14th-century Europe. For guys who sometimes feel alienated from these things, is it OK to have a more boring style? Peter and Derek talk about how you can play around with aesthetics you love without scaring your family. **Listen to the entire episode on the Blamo!

Meet Brenda “Maxx” McGee, founder of Gott Street Blues. After a career in construction, and as a model, Maxx saw a problem: workwear for women didn't fit women.
