Brad Pitt's Red Carpet Drip, Sandlercore, & Babenzian's J.Crew is Finally Unveiled Jul 28, 2022

Support the pod by supporting this week's sponsors:
RITUAL - www.ritual.com/clubcool
ZOCDOC - www.zocdoc.com/clubcool
VIZZY HARD SELTZER - www.vizzyhardseltzer.com/washed
After some technical difficulties and a multitude of scheduling conflicts, Phil and I were finally able to bang out two sessions for this extra-long 'sode. We had a great time and found ourselves meandering throughout, but the main topics were as follows:
1) Brad Pitt is crushing custom looks (shouts to Haans!) on the press tour for Bullet Train including an instantly-infamous brown linen skirt followed up by a tailored rig anchored with Gucci Gazelles.
2) Apparently, #Sandlercore was a dominant TikTok trend with GenZ girls last summer, but this summer, it's resurgence has just made us feel better about looking like a slob, like, most of the time.
3) Everybody's talking about it, so of course, we had to add our two cents. Brendon Babenzian's J.Crew is finally here.

Phil is back in the studio for a smashing good time. We talked about the suiting looks we saw at the Grammys, specifically the proliferation of double breasted rigs and how the style has migrated from an IYKYK swerve to a mainstream move. Should a DB be next on your cop list or does its current ubiquity signal that it's already on the downslope? Of course, we also had to address the Biebs' oversized Balenciaga number. Next up, I walk Phil through a couple of recent purchases from SSENSE that are definitely getting returned. Finally, we spoke on some women's trends we're seeing out there which include: massive puffy pirate sleeves, red hair, and Panda Dunks.

The Sneaker Situation with Dejan Pralica, Co-Founder & CEO of SoleSavy Feb 03, 2022

Need a quality doctor that can see you on your schedule and take your insurance? We all know how difficult that can be, but ZOCDOC makes it easy. Support this week's sponsor at www.zocdoc.com/clubcool
On this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing the co-founder and CEO of SoleSavy, Dejan Pralica. From the company's origin story to what makes the SoleSavy experience unique, DP laid it all out for us. DP remains an avid sneakerhead with an incredibly collection of over 500 sneakers so I also made sure to get his thoughts on the current state of sneaker culture. What's next on his cop list? What brands should we be paying closest attention to this year? Does becoming a Dad mean you never get to cop again??? We got the answers to all of these questions and more.

Phil joins me in the studio on a Friday afternoon, and I proceed to talk at him for an hour. First up, I give him the rundown from my most recent mall experience. What was good? What was bad? What's the heritage "mall brand" that's usurping J.Crew as the de facto recommendation for stylish guys looking for inexpensive pickups? What is happening at the food court? All those questions and more get an answer. Then, I highlight some "new" brands that I'm really feeling this year. Phil adds his classic doses of incredulity and banter, per uje.

Breaking Down LVMH's Investment in ALD & Creative Director Appointments Jan 20, 2022

Get better sleep and reduce those stress levels with this week's sponsor: Headspace @ www.headspace.com/clubcool
On this week's pod, Clayton and I offer our insight in to this week's big news: LVMH's "Luxury Ventures" arm has made a minority investment in Aimé Leon Dore. We give our initial reactions, then dive deep on what this could mean for the brand in the near and long term. After a lengthy discussion, we turn our attention to another fashion world development: Rhuigi Villaseñor of Rhude has been named Creative Director at Bally. On the surface, this seems like a head-scratching move for one of streetwear's biggest names so we do our best to figure out why it actually might make a lot of sense before offering up some other names in the space that we expect to be up for similar or even bigger appointments in 2022 and beyond.

2022 Outlook: What We're Dropping, What We're Loving, & What We're GORPing Jan 12, 2022

~~~ Find a VIZZY retailer near you at www.vizzyhardseltzer.com/WASHED ~~~
On today's podcast, Clayton Chambers joins me on the pod for his third appearance but first as an official co-host of the show. Phil and I spoke about our style resolutions last week, so this week Clayton and I continue that conversation by hashing out the things we're leaving behind in 2021. Minimalist basics, tailored button ups, topcoats, and even hoodies got put on the chopping block so you'll have to tune in to find out what actually got axed. From there, we move on to gas up the brands we're really focused on in Q1 and Q2 of this year but not before dissecting what on earth is happening with Arc'teryx at the moment. Is it the first brand to ever be memed to death? I have some questions, and Clayton has some answers. So yeah, winter is top of mind, but spring drops are headed this way, and we discuss several brands we'll have an eye on, some of which you've definitely heard of, others maybe not so much. Throughout the entire pod, the rise of GORPcore was a constant touch point, as were Clayton's 2022 predictions which you can find on his Twitter thread here.

Phil gets in the studio with me on another Friday evening to shoot the shit about being an old person that wants to watch SNL with friends on a Saturday night. We talked about the slew of legendary artists that stopped by Tyler, The Creator's Golf le Fleur pop-up shop in Malibu which sent us in a bunch of different directions, including one that ending up invoking Nelly's clothing line from the early 2000s, Vokal. Next up, more Succession talk, specifically about how you can balance that Amalfi-Coast-vacation-suit look with one that works for business environments stateside. In between and surrounding those conversations, there was a whole bunch of other good shit, so sit back, get dialed in, and come support us on Patreon while you're at it.

After finally overcoming some unfortunate events, the Clubhouse doors have been re-opened with a spicy new episode. Up top, we have the two topics that we seriously just cannot quit, and believe me, I want to. Kanye continues to make headlines though, so we have to talk about him, and the Off-White/Nike/Dunk hype trinity continues to land in shit as it slices through the zeitgeist, this time, apparently letting FedEx steal hundreds if not thousands of shoes.
Then, we get in to some trend talk with a rousing edition of "In or Out" followed by a stupendous sneaker conversation as we bring back "Hype or Heat." After that, we get in to some chill chatter about dudes at the gym wearing outrageous headwear and other fitness-adjacent topics like how long is too long to look at yourself in the mirror.

Barrett and Phil are back together in the studio to talk about some of the biggest trends for the upcoming fall season. To start it off, there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is BPC. That's right, it's the Big Phunky Cardigan. Has the Big Plaid Coat been officially knocked off its mantle or is this town big enough for the both of them? Next up, we take a dive in to footwear. A lot as stayed the same tbh: Birk Bostons and all types of mules and clogs are still super hot. You already know the list of sneakers (Dunks, Js, AF1s, Chucks, Vans, & NBs), but what's happening with boots this season? And has anything fallen off? Find out when you listen. Finally, we put a bow on it with a little pants talk, which always seems to be a difficult piece of the wardrobe to nail, especially when there's more choice than ever.

Kanye's Dropping, GQ's "New American Sportswear," + A Natural Wine Realization Jul 22, 2021

Get your mind correct with the best meditation app in the game, HEADSPACE: www.headspace.com/clubcool
We are back for another edition of the Club Cool Podcast. On today's sode, we hit the headlines. First up, Kanye's dropping DONDA on Friday, and he blessed the 'Grom with a freaking Outfit Grid featuring a bunch of things we said were trending like six weeks ago, so if you don't mind, we're gassin' ourselves up a bit: Leather pants, check. Blouson style jacket, check. Big B Bottega, check. Kanye still mattering a ton even when we want to quit him, check. Next, I explain to Phil the realization I've had that Natural Wine is wine for.... beer drinkers. Maybe? Maybe I'm just on a new kick and excited about it. Also, if LeBron wins another ship, he's gotta be poppin' Pet Nats post-game, right? Finally, even though we weren't fully prepped and read on the column, we did have to give some coverage to Rachel Tashjian's GQ column, "Introducing the New American Sportswear," where she basically confirms that the dinosaur of a mag does know what brands people listening to and/or making podcasts are talking most about.

Barrett and Phil are in the studio to discuss some trending topics of the week including the Louis-Vuitton-embellished Nike Air Force Ones Virgil Abloh just sent down the SS22 runway and why they're important. PLUS, Justin Bieber is volume shooting on the Gram while vacationing in Greece, and Barrett has a special (and demoralizing) relationship with the Bode shirt that JB loves so much he posted four kit pics in a row while wearing it. On the back half of the pod, Barrett reveals he's made a splurge purchase and finally picked up a pair of JMM sunglasses, so the dudes discuss why they cost so much from a production POV and if, overall, the shades feel like a WORTHY spend.

Bringing Button Ups Back & The First Dance With Mary Janes Jun 24, 2021

Get yourself properly meditated with the brilliant Headspace App. Your first month's on us at headspace.com/clubcool.
On today's podcast, Phil and Barrett talk through reservation difficulties, the return of Espresso Martinis, and the satisfaction delivered by a charred vegetable on one's plate. Then, the boys jump in to some show & tell/sneaker talk, as Barrett has been on a lukewarm streak of mediocre Ws. Also referenced during this discussion: Highsnobiety's new article about collaborations killing the sneaker game (is it though?) and Union's latest Jordan IV release. That convo segues in to a potential men's Mary Janes trend that's bubbling, and then finally they round everything out with an important burning question: Is it time to bring the button up back?

Fifty Dunks, YZY GAP, Rowing Blazers x Seiko, PLUS Vacation Recaps Jun 17, 2021

Support the pod, check us out: www.patreon.com/clubcool
Is anybody even reading this anymore? We start out with some Yeezy talk. As much as I want to be done with the guy, he remains a pop culture fixture, and the man still has his pulse on what's coming next with regards to fashion and streetwear. You know we had to talk Irina and of course touch on the blue puffer jacket thing as well. Next up: just what the hell is Virgil doing with these fifty near-identical Dunks? Like, are they making a thousand of each of these or what? This sort of seems too good to be true (copping-wise) which means there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye. Virgil and Nike are both marketing geniuses, so don't write this off as a lazy throw-away just yet. Finally, before we drop our vacay recaps, we give some attention to the Rowing Blazers x Seiko watches dropping tomorrow (today?). They seem legit.
After that, we talk Cali vacations, but mostly we just emphasize our shock/awe that anybody leaves there for here. What the hell is wrong with you people?!?!?
Ok, that's it, love you, bye.

Barrett and Phil convene after the long weekend to recap their joint staycation and expound on some additional candidates for "Perfect Vacation Shoe" that they didn't include last week.

Trunks for Swimming, Shoes for Beaching, and Jackets for Throupling May 27, 2021

It's all in the title, man!
Phil and Barrett are in the studio to talk about their favorite swim trunk options and to discuss that tricky question of what shoes to throw in the vacation bag when you're trying to hit the pool, stroll the beach, and of course, still get kits off. Also discussed: The best route to take from South Austin to the COTA race track. Oh, yes, and Taika Waititi (the God of Love & Thunder himself) kicks off Hot Vax Summer down under with an epic balcony show for the paps.

Phil Irons His T-Shirts & Streetwear Takes Over the Mall May 20, 2021

Check out today's sponsor, the Headspace app, for all of your wellness and meditation needs: www.headspace.com/clubcool
Barrett and Phil get together to talk about addiction to the SHOP app, break down Justin Bieber's disheveled new lewk, and give a review of Nike's new South Congress shop. On the back half of the pod, the dudes discuss Brendon Babenzien's appointment as J.Crew's new Chief Menswear Designer. Can the former Supreme creative director/brain behind Noah save the flailing brand? Additionally, does this mean our old favorite mall stores are finally buying in to the demand for streetwear? With Kanye's new Gap line coming soon and Jerry Lorenzo's ESSENTIALS line putting up numbers for PacSun, are we entering a potentially exciting era for these accessibly priced stalwarts of men's fashion? Or, are these moves just another example of dinosaurs moving too slowly. Is it too little, too late? Time will tell, but it certainly seems like a conversation that will continue to bubble up.

Barrett and Phil are back today to give some much-deserved shoutouts at the top of the pod, but then they dive in to new brands that have some real zip. Former Kanye West collaborator Mark Seekings has just launched his eponymous brand, SEEKINGS, a line that aims to pick up where Hedi Slimane left off when he exited Saint Laurent. Can he inject enough 2020s modernism and his own flavor of California Cool in to a look some might call passé to have genuine success? Next, Barrett brings up the heritage designer brand currently taking over your Explore Page, Bottega Veneta. Creative Director and designer Daniel Lee has already been creating highly sought-after handbags for several seasons now, but his Puddle and Tire Boots have now become the latest larger-than-life status symbol for dudes looking to stunt in outrageous footwear. Are these stompers a sign that its Bottega's turn to shine brightly in the menswear realm? Join us for the conversation.

To be honest, it's not totally clear, and there doesn't seem to be much information available about the label anywhere on the web. So, the dudes also spend time talking about the new Hummer EV (kinda dope?), the new Land Rover Defender (definitely dope), and the new Nike store that's poised to open on Austin's South Congress strip.

Next up, the dudes discuss the Dr. Martens x Rick Owens collaboration and how designer and contemporary diffusion lines have been replaced by collaborations with more accessible, mainstreamed brands.

A COVID vaccine derailment happens somewhere along the way, as does a discussion on whether or not Barrett should get a giant butterfly tattooed under his chest a la Harry Styles. The dudes also talk about the potential rise of the Nike Foamposite basketball sneaker before considering how one is supposed to dress in their early forties.

Well, nobody is quite sure, but it definitely started with a segment on fashion films thanks to the recent photographs coming off the set of Adam Driver and Lady Gaga's Gucci murder film. Next up, the dudes cover the latest outdoor brand to land atop the IG explore page, Arc'teryx.

NIKE EXPOSED! + Hotline Calls Mar 04, 2021

Join the Club, Support the Pod: www.patreon.com/clubcool
On today's episode, Barrett and Phil breakdown the big news of the week involving a large scale sneaker reseller whose mom happened to be a high-ranking VP at... Nike. This, in turn, leads to a wide-ranging discussion about the legitimacy of "collectibles" as a real asset class. The dudes discuss digital highlights like Top Shot, the return of sports cards, and if these fads will go the way of Beanie Babies or be lucrative additions to one's portfolio. Next up, the Nike talk continues, as it would appear that there is a believable conspiracy theory floating around about what the sportswear giant may have done to the US batch of "Fossil" Overbreaks, a sneaker that bears a striking resemblance to the ultra-coveted Tom Sachs Mars Yard. Are the "College Greys" ACTUALLY just "Fossils" that got spray painted?? Who knew what and when??? Club Cool investigates.
Finally, the boys check in on the hotline and play a few calls.

As the dudes explore all of the things making Spring-Summer '21 collections tick, they also acknowledge feeling more overwhelmed and frustrated by the lack of normalcy and social activities than ever. After a year of keeping hope alive and looking past the current situation with an eye on the fuzzy outline of the future, it's hard to maintain the positivity (and the hunger to buy.) What good are new clothes and accessories if we can't even enjoy them with friends, family, peers, co-workers, and random passers-by? In spite of the pessimism, the guys are able to pinpoint a few things they're looking out for while also highlighting some bubbling trends.

Barrett and Phil jump on the mics for another rousing edition. First up, the boys talk about the many incredible style moments at today's historic inauguration, including but not limited to Bernie wearing his meme jacket and the Vice President's nephew showing up in Dior 1s. Then, for the big topic of the day, the guys talk about how the necessity for business growth typically ends up hurting the product from your favorite designers and brands. Whether it's contemporary favorites like John Elliott and Aimé Leon Dore pushing out more product at better margins or bigger companies like Everlane and Bonobos feeling the pressure to answer to their investors and corporate overlords. Barrett then highlights some of his favorite under-the-radar brands (BTFL Studio, Séfr, & Sunflower) and points out how shopping these lines in the earlier stages of this lifecycle can be more favorable to the consumer. Finally, the boys talk about the rise of "Seinfeld" and "Friends" as sources of style inspiration for a generation that's acquainting themselves with the shows for the first time just as 90s influence on fashion continues to reign supreme.

Now, those Nikes fetch thousands of dollars on the resell market and the graphic design still permeates other avenues of music and fashion. It's a lasting legacy for the cult, but is it in poor taste? And finally, to wrap things up, the dudes offer some of their style resolutions for the coming year.
