After a quick catch-up sesh, we dove into how we're feeling this season about the ubiquitous wide brim hat, otherwise known as a Big Dumb Hat. Between the release of certified "Hat Movie" Killers of the Flower Moon and the resurgence of "Stomp, Clap, Hey" music, a storm is brewing that could spell the return or the official end of the divisive lid. We also return to a favorite Retail Therapy topic: packing for trips. This time, we're helping Phil prepare for a ski trip where he doesn't intend to ski.

About two months ago, I got a text about my dive into the world of vinyl records. It was DJ Piehowski (@djpiehowski), and the ripple effects of that text exchange are still being felt today. Because vinyls have become such a part of my Sundays lately, it only made sense to find out how DJ spends his ideal Sundays. From big breakfasts to Mac Miller to an early evening 18, this is how it's done.

If you're wondering why it's been a little bit since you've heard from the Retail Therapy team, that's because Barrett was out of the country — in Hong Kong and Tokyo, to be exact. Taking us through all his travels, Barrett discusses everything from the stores he visited to the general landscape of Tokyo itself. We also dive into some shoe talk in the realms of Jonah Hill's leather slides, the Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas collaboration, and the recent Aime Leon Dore x New Balance release. And to round things out, we dive into the state of "quiet luxury," Gwyneth Paltrow's water bottle, and some wishlist items.
Like we said in the episode, please please please pencil in May 10th in New York City for an event we're hosting. More details to follow, but our flights are booked.

Sit back and relax to the first iteration of Sunday Scaries Meditations. Whether you shouldn't have had that third martini last night or you woke up in your own bed with no idea how you got there, take ten minutes out of your Sunday to focus on what you need most. A breakfast sandwich from the bagel shop down the street, a tall bloody mary at a trendy brunch spot, or simply a large ice water — anything will do. But most importantly, thank yourself for the ten minutes you took to look inward — no matter how hungover you may be.
