Phil is back in the studio for a smashing good time.  We talked about the suiting looks we saw at the Grammys, specifically the proliferation of double breasted rigs and how the style has migrated from an IYKYK swerve to a mainstream move.  Should a DB be next on your cop list or does its current ubiquity signal that it's already on the downslope?  Of course, we also had to address the Biebs' oversized Balenciaga number.  Next up, I walk Phil through a couple of recent purchases from SSENSE that are definitely getting returned.  Finally, we spoke on some women's trends we're seeing out there which include: massive puffy pirate sleeves, red hair, and Panda Dunks.

On today's podcast, Phil and Barrett talk through reservation difficulties, the return of Espresso Martinis, and the satisfaction delivered by a charred vegetable on one's plate.  Then, the boys jump in to some show & tell/sneaker talk, as Barrett has been on a lukewarm streak of mediocre Ws.  Also referenced during this discussion: Highsnobiety's new article about collaborations killing the sneaker game (is it though?) and Union's latest Jordan IV release.  That convo segues in to a potential men's Mary Janes trend that's bubbling, and then finally they round everything out with an important burning question: Is it time to bring the button up back?

Barrett and Phil convene after the long weekend to recap their joint staycation and expound on some additional candidates for "Perfect Vacation Shoe" that they didn't include last week.  They also take some time to explore why dive bars seem to be having such a moment right now before exploring their shared interest in Eleven Madison Park's new completely vegan tasting menu.  Last, but not least, they take a listener call from the hotline about what to wear to a non-team sporting event.  (Care to leave us a voicemail???  Dial in: 833-258-2266 or 833-CLUB-COO if you're a real one.)

Clayton Chambers is a southern-born, Brooklyn-seasoned content creator publishing the men's fashion and lifestyle newsletter, Sprezza.  He joins Barrett on this week's episode to talk about everything from his initial turn at the helm of a successful tailoring-based style blog during the hashtag menswear era to why he considers a ritualistic post-dinner amaro an absolute must.  Barrett and Clayton also make their way around to other summer cocktails and spirits, cooking in cast iron, brands that are making waves, and spring style kit talk.

After finally overcoming some unfortunate events, the Clubhouse doors have been re-opened with a spicy new episode.  Up top, we have the two topics that we seriously just cannot quit, and believe me, I want to.  Kanye continues to make headlines though, so we have to talk about him, and the Off-White/Nike/Dunk hype trinity continues to land in shit as it slices through the zeitgeist, this time, apparently letting FedEx steal hundreds if not thousands of shoes.

Then, we get in to some trend talk with a rousing edition of "In or Out" followed by a stupendous sneaker conversation as we bring back "Hype or Heat."  After that, we get in to some chill chatter about dudes at the gym wearing outrageous headwear and other fitness-adjacent topics like how long is too long to look at yourself in the mirror.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, WE LOVE YOU!

Barrett and Phil are back together in the studio to talk about some of the biggest trends for the upcoming fall season.  To start it off, there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is BPC.  That's right, it's the Big Phunky Cardigan.  Has the Big Plaid Coat been officially knocked off its mantle or is this town big enough for the both of them?  Next up, we take a dive in to footwear.  A lot as stayed the same tbh: Birk Bostons and all types of mules and clogs are still super hot.  You already know the list of sneakers (Dunks, Js, AF1s, Chucks, Vans, & NBs), but what's happening with boots this season?  And has anything fallen off?  Find out when you listen.  Finally, we put a bow on it with a little pants talk, which always seems to be a difficult piece of the wardrobe to nail, especially when there's more choice than ever.

Barrett and Phil are back today to give some much-deserved shoutouts at the top of the pod, but then they dive in to new brands that have some real zip.  Former Kanye West collaborator Mark Seekings has just launched his eponymous brand, SEEKINGS, a line that aims to pick up where Hedi Slimane left off when he exited Saint Laurent.  Can he inject enough 2020s modernism and his own flavor of California Cool in to a look some might call passé to have genuine success?  Next, Barrett brings up the heritage designer brand currently taking over your Explore Page, Bottega Veneta.  Creative Director and designer Daniel Lee has already been creating highly sought-after handbags for several seasons now, but his Puddle and Tire Boots have now become the latest larger-than-life status symbol for dudes looking to stunt in outrageous footwear.  Are these stompers a sign that its Bottega's turn to shine brightly in the menswear realm?  Join us for the conversation.

Is anybody even reading this anymore?  We start out with some Yeezy talk.  As much as I want to be done with the guy, he remains a pop culture fixture, and the man still has his pulse on what's coming next with regards to fashion and streetwear.  You know we had to talk Irina and of course touch on the blue puffer jacket thing as well.  Next up: just what the hell is Virgil doing with these fifty near-identical Dunks?  Like, are they making a thousand of each of these or what?  This sort of seems too good to be true (copping-wise) which means there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye.  Virgil and Nike are both marketing geniuses, so don't write this off as a lazy throw-away just yet.  Finally, before we drop our vacay recaps, we give some attention to the Rowing Blazers x Seiko watches dropping tomorrow (today?).  They seem legit.  

After that, we talk Cali vacations, but mostly we just emphasize our shock/awe that anybody leaves there for here.  What the hell is wrong with you people?!?!?

Ok, that's it, love you, bye.

Barrett and Phil are live in the studio this week to talk about the two haircuts you're allowed to have as a dude on TikTok, including the revamped 90s butt-cut á la Ryder Strong from Boy Meets World.  Next up, the dudes discuss the Dr. Martens x Rick Owens collaboration and how designer and contemporary diffusion lines have been replaced by collaborations with more accessible, mainstreamed brands.  In the second half of the podcast, the boys answer a listener question regarding a freezing cold office, talk shop about the Carlyle Group's purchase of END, and dive as deep as they can on natural and orange wines.

On today's episode, Barrett and Phil breakdown the big news of the week involving a large scale sneaker reseller whose mom happened to be a high-ranking VP at... Nike.  This, in turn, leads to a wide-ranging discussion about the legitimacy of "collectibles" as a real asset class.  The dudes discuss digital highlights like Top Shot, the return of sports cards, and if these fads will go the way of Beanie Babies or be lucrative additions to one's portfolio.  Next up, the Nike talk continues, as it would appear that there is a believable conspiracy theory floating around about what the sportswear giant may have done to the US batch of "Fossil" Overbreaks, a sneaker that bears a striking resemblance to the ultra-coveted Tom Sachs Mars Yard.  Are the "College Greys" ACTUALLY just "Fossils" that got spray painted??  Who knew what and when???  Club Cool investigates.  

Finally, the boys check in on the hotline and play a few calls.

Barrett and Phil are back for the first the Club's first episode of 2021.  Unfortunately, they have to record remotely, as Barrett had a brush with COVID earlier this week.  First up is a fresh Pop Culture Minute featuring Alexander Wang being a monster, the dissolution of KimYe, and the hottest new couple around: Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde.  Also on today's pod: Heaven's Gate had a pretty dope logo and chose to exit wearing matching black and white Nike Decades.  Now, those Nikes fetch thousands of dollars on the resell market and the graphic design still permeates other avenues of music and fashion.  It's a lasting legacy for the cult, but is it in poor taste?  And finally, to wrap things up, the dudes offer some of their style resolutions for the coming year.

After some technical difficulties and a multitude of scheduling conflicts, Phil and I were finally able to bang out two sessions for this extra-long 'sode.  We had a great time and found ourselves meandering throughout, but the main topics were as follows:

1) Brad Pitt is crushing custom looks (shouts to Haans!) on the press tour for Bullet Train including an instantly-infamous brown linen skirt followed up by a tailored rig anchored with Gucci Gazelles.
2) Apparently, #Sandlercore was a dominant TikTok trend with GenZ girls last summer, but this summer, it's resurgence has just made us feel better about looking like a slob, like, most of the time.
3) Everybody's talking about it, so of course, we had to add our two cents.  Brendon Babenzian's J.Crew is finally here.

Phil and I finally reconnect in the studio for a fresh episode, and our main topic today is paying tribute to the late Virgil Abloh and remembering his outsized influence.  Of course, we also had to fit in some other conversation, including but not limited to: the questionable accents delivered in "House of Gucci," sour beers, the mind-boggling way pants go from being your baggy ones to being your skinny ones, and how long it takes me to make a fashion TikTok.

On this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing the co-founder and CEO of SoleSavy, Dejan Pralica.  From the company's origin story to what makes the SoleSavy experience unique, DP laid it all out for us.  DP remains an avid sneakerhead with an incredibly collection of over 500 sneakers so I also made sure to get his thoughts on the current state of sneaker culture.  What's next on his cop list?  What brands should we be paying closest attention to this year?  Does becoming a Dad mean you never get to cop again???  We got the answers to all of these questions and more.

Washed Media's newest podcast host, Kayla Haby, joins the Club for her first guest appearance.  Kayla is also a food blogger and knows her away around a kit pic for the 'gram, so conversation starts in the culinary world and before drifting over in to the style realm.  After Barrett and Phil chat with Kayla about all things cooking and baking, the trio covers the TikTok culture war happening between Gen Z and Millennials over the latter's refusal to give up on skinny jeans.  They also touch on some other current women's trends, both good and bad, before dissecting Matt James' style choices (specifically his undying commitment to turtlenecks).

On today's podcast, Barrett and Phil recap a wild and terrifying week of winter storms before looking ahead to sunnier weather and brighter clothes.  As the dudes explore all of the things making Spring-Summer '21 collections tick, they also acknowledge feeling more overwhelmed and frustrated by the lack of normalcy and social activities than ever.  After a year of keeping hope alive and looking past the current situation with an eye on the fuzzy outline of the future, it's hard to maintain the positivity (and the hunger to buy.)  What good are new clothes and accessories if we can't even enjoy them with friends, family, peers, co-workers, and random passers-by?  In spite of the pessimism, the guys are able to pinpoint a few things they're looking out for while also highlighting some bubbling trends.

Barrett and Phil are together in the studio to talk Grammys, specifically the dazzling performances, three of which were given by artists that made great strides in bringing leather all the way back (albeit in different forms than we've become accustomed to.) A COVID vaccine derailment happens somewhere along the way, as does a discussion on whether or not Barrett should get a giant butterfly tattooed under his chest a la Harry Styles. The dudes also talk about the potential rise of the Nike Foamposite basketball sneaker before considering how one is supposed to dress in their early forties.

Barrett and Phil meet in the studio today for the first time in 2021!  It feels good to be back.  The boys breakdown some recent Big Fits and talk about the rise in popularity of liner jackets.  One kit examined, seen on Sebastian Bear-McCloud (aka Mr. Emily Ratajkowski), sparks a comparison to the King of Schlub, Adam Sandler, and yet somehow it works for him.  Or maybe it doesn't, nobody's quite sure.  There's also some more bean-top talk before the dudes take some hotline calls.  Subjects discussed include: skiing trends, bracelets with watches, Adidas clogs, and shopping at Goodwill.

On today's podcast, Clayton Chambers joins me on the pod for his third appearance but first as an official co-host of the show.  Phil and I spoke about our style resolutions last week, so this week Clayton and I continue that conversation by hashing out the things we're leaving behind in 2021.  Minimalist basics, tailored button ups, topcoats, and even hoodies got put on the chopping block so you'll have to tune in to find out what actually got axed.  From there, we move on to gas up the brands we're really focused on in Q1 and Q2 of this year but not before dissecting what on earth is happening with Arc'teryx at the moment.  Is it the first brand to ever be memed to death?  I have some questions, and Clayton has some answers.  So yeah, winter is top of mind, but spring drops are headed this way, and we discuss several brands we'll have an eye on, some of which you've definitely heard of, others maybe not so much.  Throughout the entire pod, the rise of GORPcore was a constant touch point, as were Clayton's 2022 predictions which you can find on his Twitter thread here.

We are back for another edition of the Club Cool Podcast.  On today's sode, we hit the headlines.  First up, Kanye's dropping DONDA on Friday, and he blessed the 'Grom with a freaking Outfit Grid featuring a bunch of things we said were trending like six weeks ago, so if you don't mind, we're gassin' ourselves up a bit: Leather pants, check.  Blouson style jacket, check.  Big B Bottega, check.  Kanye still mattering a ton even when we want to quit him, check.  Next, I explain to Phil the realization I've had that Natural Wine is wine for.... beer drinkers.  Maybe?  Maybe I'm just on a new kick and excited about it.  Also, if LeBron wins another ship, he's gotta be poppin' Pet Nats post-game, right?  Finally, even though we weren't fully prepped and read on the column, we did have to give some coverage to Rachel Tashjian's GQ column, "Introducing the New American Sportswear," where she basically confirms that the dinosaur of a mag does know what brands people listening to and/or making podcasts are talking most about.

Barrett and Phil get together to talk about addiction to the SHOP app, break down Justin Bieber's disheveled new lewk, and give a review of Nike's new South Congress shop.  On the back half of the pod, the dudes discuss Brendon Babenzien's appointment as J.Crew's new Chief Menswear Designer.  Can the former Supreme creative director/brain behind Noah save the flailing brand?  Additionally, does this mean our old favorite mall stores are finally buying in to the demand for streetwear?  With Kanye's new Gap line coming soon and Jerry Lorenzo's ESSENTIALS line putting up numbers for PacSun, are we entering a potentially exciting era for these accessibly priced stalwarts of men's fashion?  Or, are these moves just another example of dinosaurs moving too slowly.  Is it too little, too late?  Time will tell, but it certainly seems like a conversation that will continue to bubble up.

Phil's back in the lab with Barrett at the Washed Media Studio to discuss how exactly Swiss performance brand ON Running managed to land themselves on the shelves of nearly every store imaginable and on the feet of half the people in the Home Depot gardening center.  To be honest, it's not totally clear, and there doesn't seem to be much information available about the label anywhere on the web.  So, the dudes also spend time talking about the new Hummer EV (kinda dope?), the new Land Rover Defender (definitely dope), and the new Nike store that's poised to open on Austin's South Congress strip.

Phil gets in the studio with me on another Friday evening to shoot the shit about being an old person that wants to watch SNL with friends on a Saturday night.  We talked about the slew of legendary artists that stopped by Tyler, The Creator's Golf le Fleur pop-up shop in Malibu which sent us in a bunch of different directions, including one that ending up invoking Nelly's clothing line from the early 2000s, Vokal.  Next up, more Succession talk, specifically about how you can balance that Amalfi-Coast-vacation-suit look with one that works for business environments stateside.  In between and surrounding those conversations, there was a whole bunch of other good shit, so sit back, get dialed in, and come support us on Patreon while you're at it.

On this week's pod, Clayton and I offer our insight in to this week's big news: LVMH's "Luxury Ventures" arm has made a minority investment in Aimé Leon Dore.  We give our initial reactions, then dive deep on what this could mean for the brand in the near and long term.  After a lengthy discussion, we turn our attention to another fashion world development: Rhuigi Villaseñor of Rhude has been named Creative Director at Bally.  On the surface, this seems like a head-scratching move for one of streetwear's biggest names so we do our best to figure out why it actually might make a lot of sense before offering up some other names in the space that we expect to be up for similar or even bigger appointments in 2022 and beyond.

Barrett and Phil are in the studio to discuss some trending topics of the week including the Louis-Vuitton-embellished Nike Air Force Ones Virgil Abloh just sent down the SS22 runway and why they're important.  PLUS, Justin Bieber is volume shooting on the Gram while vacationing in Greece, and Barrett has a special (and demoralizing) relationship with the Bode shirt that JB loves so much he posted four kit pics in a row while wearing it.  On the back half of the pod, Barrett reveals he's made a splurge purchase and finally picked up a pair of JMM sunglasses, so the dudes discuss why they cost so much from a production POV and if, overall, the shades feel like a WORTHY spend.

Barrett and Phil jump on the mics for another rousing edition.  First up, the boys talk about the many incredible style moments at today's historic inauguration, including but not limited to Bernie wearing his meme jacket and the Vice President's nephew showing up in Dior 1s.  Then, for the big topic of the day, the guys talk about how the necessity for business growth typically ends up hurting the product from your favorite designers and brands.  Whether it's contemporary favorites like John Elliott and Aimé Leon Dore pushing out more product at better margins or bigger companies like Everlane and Bonobos feeling the pressure to answer to their investors and corporate overlords.  Barrett then highlights some of his favorite under-the-radar brands (BTFL Studio, Séfr, & Sunflower) and points out how shopping these lines in the earlier stages of this lifecycle can be more favorable to the consumer.  Finally, the boys talk about the rise of "Seinfeld" and "Friends" as sources of style inspiration for a generation that's acquainting themselves with the shows for the first time just as 90s influence on fashion continues to reign supreme.

Finally, the guys draw major attention to the upcoming Women's World Cup and lament the lack of media coverage given to the USA's best soccer team. The USWNT has won the Cup three times, and yet, we can't even get Alex Morgan jerseys delivered before the first game. What's up with that?!
