My guest this week is Guillermo Andrade, founder, and designer of 424.
A brand that grew from a simple design and a small store in LA to being on the backs of everyone and even the official formalwear of Arsenal Football club.
Guillermo and I chat about the creation of 424, his early life immigrating to the US from Guatemala, the importance of giving your time, his love of suiting, why he admires Rick Owens, and what’s next for 424.

My guest this week is Alex Corporan.
I don’t know how to best describe my guest this week. He does it all. Most people know him as one of the groundbreaking skateboarding pioneers of the 1980s. Alex and his crew were constantly getting chased around NY, but they made the city their own and documented all of it – perfectly summarized in their book, Full Bleed.
Alex and I discuss how he helped pioneer skateboarding n NYC, the early days managing Supreme, how he feels about skate culture being mainstream, keeping the vibes positive, and the 10th anniversary of his epic skate photography book, Full Bleed.
The shots in Full Bleed span 30 years, with contributions from over 40 photographers.
Featuring the work of Giovanni Reda, Jessica Bard, Ivory Serra, Tobin Yelland, Miki Vuckovich, Thomas Campbell, Larry Clark, Ed Templeton, Jerry Hsu, Atiba Jefferson, Spike Jonze, Bryce Knights, Angela Boatwright, Athena Currey, Kenneth Cappello, Charlie Samuels, Andy Kessler, Mike O’Meally, Sammy Glucksman, Allen Ying, and more.

My guest this week is Mac Barnett.
Mac is a NYT best-selling author, and his works have sold over 4 million copies worldwide.
If you’re a parent, you’ve probably read his books dozens/hundreds of times to your kids. (Jeremy certainly has)
And yes, he’s a fellow jawnz enthusiast (aka, the man loves his clothes.)
Mac and I discuss his career, why he chose to be a children’s author, what he learned from David Foster Wallace, how he got into clothes, how many tuxedos does one need, wearing two watches, and his new series, Shape Island on Apple TV+
