This week, we checked in with our friend for his sequel episode, the Ramblin’ Man himself, Jim Parker. We talked about what’s been going on with his brand, @tazewellclothes, we learn the trials and tribulations of making clothes in the USA, the day-to-day life of a working musician, his signature guitar tone, music gear, the Solar Eclipse, making the perfect OCBD; and also talk a little shit about a certain book. All this, and more, coming at you in this great conversation.

Another brick in the wall... "brick” meaning a guest, and “wall” meaning our show. One more oral history for the music—>clothing pipeline. Attorney-in-training, guitarist, wit, our next guest is THE Perfect Gentleman…but not precisely. Clea Carlier on her first suit, Pink Floyd, her “deep, deep” love of music, accents and language, learning from YouTube, how things should fit, and more.

We are joined by yet another DIY disciple. We revisit the old hardcore/punk/subculture to clothing pipeline and collect, yet another, unbiased perspective for our undeniably scientific “research” (which only serves to deepen our already unflappable opinions). We chat about what’s in a name and the etymology of Wooden Sleepers, the notion of home, how workwear and Ivy feed off of each other, the case against being cutthroat, church basement thrift stores, and how Brian’s reputation precedes him, and, of course, the Adidas Samba.
