Know First with Max Wastler

Last week I had the absolute treat to speak to my buddy Max on his new podcast 'Know First' about W'menswear and how it came about - which means we dove into my background and the things I find meaning from. I remember looking at Max's blog All Plaid Out when I was at university, back in the blogg..…

HAYAMA BEACH ‘N GOOD ‘OL NIGE

We took a local train out to the volcanic sand covered beaches of Hayama to discover the colourful seaside culture that wonderfully describes the eclectic patchwork of Japanese summer culture. It’s full of bamboo, Hawaiian prints, kayaking, and banana juice spiked with Malibu.

PROOF IN THE PUDDING THAT STYLE IS PERSONALITY.

Chris Olberding is testament to why style is all about what you’re made of, not about what current trend you’re modelling at the moment. He has built Gitman Vintage on some sound life principles, and those iconic shirts speak of his great values, like making a cut off short sleeved number this season, because fun.
