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.

How Did ON Running Blow Up? Also: New Defenders, New Hummers, & Dude, We're Getting A Nike! Apr 08, 2021

Phil's back in the lab with Barrett at the Washed Media Studio to discuss how exactly Swiss performance brand ON Running managed to land themselves on the shelves of nearly every store imaginable and on the feet of half the people in the Home Depot gardening center. 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.

Shop Talk with Clayton Chambers of The Sprezza Newsletter Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

Clayton Chambers is a southern-born, Brooklyn-seasoned content creator publishing the men's fashion and lifestyle newsletter, Sprezza. He joins Barrett on this week's episode to talk about everything from his initial turn at the helm of a successful tailoring-based style blog during the hashtag menswear era to why he considers a ritualistic post-dinner amaro an absolute must. Barrett and Clayton also make their way around to other summer cocktails and spirits, cooking in cast iron, brands that are making waves, and spring style kit talk.

Barrett and Phil are live in the studio this week to talk about the two haircuts you're allowed to have as a dude on TikTok, including the revamped 90s butt-cut á la Ryder Strong from Boy Meets World. 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. In the second half of the podcast, the boys answer a listener question regarding a freezing cold office, talk shop about the Carlyle Group's purchase of END, and dive as deep as they can on natural and orange wines.

The Grammys Bring Leather Back, Foamposites, & How to Dress When You're 40 Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

Go show some love to our sponsor HEADSPACE: www.headspace.com/clubcool
Barrett and Phil are together in the studio to talk Grammys, specifically the dazzling performances, three of which were given by artists that made great strides in bringing leather all the way back (albeit in different forms than we've become accustomed to.) 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.

Fashion Films, Arc'teryx, & TikTok's Flow of Influence Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

Barrett and Phil join forces to talk about the Queen (Latifah) on this week's podcast. How does the conversation end up centered on CBS's The Equalizer? 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. And finally, the guys take a hotline call prompting them to discuss TikTok's overall influence on fashion and what the youths are wearing.

NIKE EXPOSED! + Hotline Calls Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

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.
