Neverrong

The first episode back! We're bringing you more Show n Tell episodes as we work to make our usual full-length episodes even bigger and better than ever before! The boys have new watches, new boots, and new jeans - and are dying to talk about bad tiktok business practices, ballet flats for boys, and what's coming up next in menswear.

Enjoy!

As ever, our show notes are published on Substack.

When the first J. Crew catalog came out in 1983, it said the brand was based on 100 years of craftsmanship, which was just a lie. The brand had just started and since then, has reached dizzying highs and terrifying lows. Courtesy of Brendon Babenzien, the brand is back after a fallow period and a bankruptcy in 2020.

Albert leads the boys through the brand's long history and our own thoughts and feelings around the "legendary" brand that had to make up its own legend. As always, read along on our substack.

(If you want a more thorough version of this history, read "Kingdom of Prep" by Maggie Bullock.)

David walks the gang through Chefcore, the latest iteration of Blue Collar cosplay that's sweeping through the fashion world. From the origin of the big white hat that Ratatouille rats work in to modern (and misguided?) collabs between fashion brands and hip restaurants, we try to wrap our heads around this one.

A humdinger, a laugh-fest, a joy for your ears to behold. We got a little extra silly with tiktok trends we can't get off our minds (and screens). But brought it back to fashion with a litany of weird co-branded Rolex watches and the fate of the sneaker resale market.

It's a fun one, if I do say so myself. (Read along here.)

Fisherman sandals, Mary Janes, huaraches - the shoes are dainty, they're leather, and they're showing up everywhere! Who better to walk us through the trend and the history of these non-sneaker, non-loafer footwear options than Reed!

Reed loves his birks, his mules, and he's our man on the street in Brooklyn where mfs are on the bleeding edge of binary-busting little shoes like these.

Jorts swept the nation this summer and Albert sits down with the guys to figure out....why? The fellas lay out the many kinds of jorts (kinds both good and dumb) and spend way too much time laughing at an unfortunate ssense model. We delve into the history of jorts (and shorts more broadly) and get to the bottom of things.

After learning about Hey Dudes during our ON episode, David takes a deep dive (as deep as you can) into the history of the BEST-SELLING SHOE IN AMERICA. From Italy to Zappos to an insurrection near you, we trace the history of this god-awful shoe and lament its creation.

Show and Tell 2 is here! A little audio-morsel from your three favorite guys showing (but mostly telling) some of their new favorite pieces.

David explains to the boys (and you) where these new gray shoes came from. ON running went from a whisper on the wind to a state of omnipresence that baffles us. Now they're becoming a sneaker industry titan -- and all from gluing garden hoses to a shoe??

Albert takes the boys on a journey through the wonderful world of trucker hats. Recorded back in March, so some aspects of our personal lives have changed, and though the trucker may have lost some of its buzz, the trend is as strong as ever. Learn about "gimme hats," some advertising history, and the ever-present specter of capitalism.
