The Official Dieworkwear Appreciation Thread

[Ortip]

i’ve been enjoying derek’s new-ish podcast with Blamo, recommended if you haven’t checked it out!

I saw it but looks like you need to pay $5 a month? I'm still tempted, just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

I joined and I personally think it's worth it. The podcasts have been very high quality (compared to some of the other menswear podcasts) and the Slack community has been great.

The podcasts are a bit more contextual and philosophical than Derek's short content - not advice focused. This week for example, is on the Intelligence of Taste and Derek and Peter had a thought provoking discussion that wandered through culture and history. This is right up my alley.

I think you can listen to abbreviated versions for free to get a taste.

Can you link it and give us more details? I can only find one from 2-3 years ago.

Are the discussion(s) specifically about culture and history, or do they weave it into being about clothing?

Derek's long articles that start off with a history and culture lesson that segue into being about clothing are one of my favourites.

If it doesn't involve clothing, then I'm not interested.

I think Derek and Peter's show is always strictly clothing and dress/culture focused.

You can listen to the previews here. The Patreon link to the show is here - it has a paywall.

It's not purely philosophical/cultural. Some shows are entirely about menswear - interviews with Fred Nieddu of Taillour or Seiji Mccarthy, for example. Even the latest one on the Intelligence of Taste has about 30-40% on menswear.

You can pay for a month at a time too. That's what I did. Of course, I'm hooked now. 😄

Thanks dudes, this is exactly what I needed

In the latest Blamo/Dieworkwear podcast on Patreon (see above), @dieworkwear mentions a thread started by Michael Anton on good taste.

I managed to dig it up, though it looks like he no longer has an account. If you are curious here's the link.

Why do you think he no longer has an account?

Yes, I know who he is. I just didnt know the account is gone as it seems very much to still be there.

You are correct. I must have missed it in the search results.

I imagine he's still around with a new account or just reading w/o logging in. I would guess Derek does that too.

Wasn't sure where to ask this but, since Derek has mentioned this maker recently, I was wondering if anyone had experience with RTW suiting from The Anthology—I like the look of this suit:

Linen/Cotton Twill Suit Jacket - Sage — The Anthology

55% linen 45% cotton Our sartorial manifestation of the archetypal Anthology garment for the spring summer season, an articulation of the house’s core identity. This is a suit jacket in specially-developed Japanese cotton/linen that can live on its own or pair with its amicable bott

theanthology.net

It has, according to the measurements, a good fit for me off the rack (5'7" 160 lbs so a slightly shorter jacket is nice). I've been looking for a summer suit in olive.

Thanks in advance!
