Show notes

Today I sit down with Jeremy Smith and Neil Berrett owners of Standard and Strange which I would say is one of the greatest clothing shops I've ever been in.

These 2 took their passion for High End Quality Clothing and made a business out of it. I could talk to these guys all day long about Leather Jackets, Japanese Denim, Hand Made Boots and all things Fashion.

Jeremy and Neil started from the ground up in a small 200 square foot shop in Oakland to now having 2 very successful shops including one in Santa Fe New Mexico.

Their Knowledge is next level on Japanese Hand Made clothing especially The Real McCoy's brand which happens to be my all time favorite brand.
