So? Not my fault! Still my favorite pick-up for the season?

 

[LatAm]

I've got a review copy of the book and planning to write about it for the No Man blog - would you guys be interested in an interview with her? @sood

Hell yes, that would be way cool!

Seriously guys, listen to the podcast:

Super interesting episode on fabric and textile development, I think people here will appreciate it

‎a16z Podcast: Textiles as Tech, Science, Math, Culture... or Civilization on Apple Podcasts

‎Show a16z Podcast, Ep Textiles as Tech, Science, Math, Culture... or Civilization - Oct 24, 2020

podcasts.apple.com

This writer Virginia Postrel (who has written for the New York Times and a bunch of other places) is interviewed about a book she wrote about textiles as technology, textiles as culture, textiles that prompted the growth of modern management techniques to run mills to process silk in 14th Century Italy, how the type of cotton we use only exists because of a freak cross pollination between continents and is the only one of 54 types that has fibres in it... the podcast is packed with fascinating stuff.

Just go listen already!

Cool, I'll set up an interview w her and listen to the podcast so as not to duplicate too many of their questions. If you guys have any questions you want to ask her, lmk and I will put them on the list.

Absolutely! I'd love that!!

This is useful to me as well, thanks. What size do you wear in WL, if I may ask?

I’ve got a 42 chest, 36 waist, and am 5’9”.
Large in most knitwear including WL. Large in IM. I have a couple trad fit j press shaggy dogs in medium that fit ok, but jpress trim fit in large fits me better. I wear medium in S&C cardigans, sized up to 54 in Doppiaa turtleneck recently acquired, hope this helps.

Many thanks @sood! This was absolutely fascinating, will buy bought Virginia Postrel's book that they were talking about!

I'm glad you found it interesting, the bit about Apollo program was ingenious!

Book is on my next to read list as well

These are a few of my favorite things- some I’m planning on picking up, some I’m considering, some I’m going to skip due to redundancy with stuff I already have but still love

Surprised there are so many of those Sage de Cret trench coats left, the one Greg was wearing in the drop video looked great, at 500 bucks they're a great deal.

Hard for me to choose a favorite, as I've loved everything I've gotten this season.

I would highlight the document smock with its ridiculously soft fleece and awesome oversized fit.

Byborre is a guilty pleasure, and the color and feel of the merino in the overshirt was a revelation compared to the other pieces I have from them:

Honorable mention to the Chamula fisherman sweater: beautiful color and, again, so soft. Thinking of getting a cowichan from them, but prefer a solid color.

Yes ! That Kuon jacket is SO slept on!

 

[unbelragazzo]

This is one I would definitely get if there were an XXL. Kyle posted a pic wearing it recently and looked awesome:

Chamula handknit cowichan style zipped cardigan in multicolor striped Merino wool

<p>Made up in the same chunky and soft merino wool as the turtlenecks, this zipped cardigan carries a beachy vibe with its colorful stripes that makes perfect sense in the Monitaly and Chamula universe. We'll call it a Cowichan by way of Southern California.</p>

I have a navy Barbour (well loved) so it’s pointless but at the same time I’m still tempted...

two websitey things:

for Jamieson's stuff, the "shop this maker" link at the bottom of the page doesn't work (and i'd also continue to lobby that the name of the maker at the top of the product details should be a link to the maker page)

and i am once again asking for a size chart on the Glenn's rain indigo denim

Not sure if intentional, but I read that in Bernie Sanders voice.

listen son, we’re working on your demands, okay? Some of this is above my pay grade, alright. But we’re working on it, ok. Now, you gotta give us something, kid. You gotta let one of them go, sport.
