You could have heard this episode early and had access to giveaways on our HeroHero: https://herohero.co/pok Hello my dear friends! In this episode Sol and Michael eat way too many lil baby themed potato chips. We also discuss the Thom Browne employee uniform guidelines, the difference between "vintage" and "archive," the bible (again somehow), Alfargo's marketplace, military surplus (again somehow) and Sol's absolutely diabolical plan to undermine the fashion communities most prolific gatekeepers. Thanks as always for supporting us! This is likely our last episode for a week or two, as Sol is still floating his way down the grand canyon and we may be out of our backlog. -Michael Sol Thompson and Michael Smith explore the world and subcultures of fashion, interviewing creators, personalities, and industry insiders to highlight the new vanguard of the fashion world.
