    Robin's Egg Blue - The Ancient Appeal of Turquoise

    11/08/2026 | 25 mins.
    You’ve seen it inlaid in rings, pendants, bolo ties, squash blossom necklaces, conchos, studs, and more. It dots the hands and necks of those devoted to Southwestern Americana aesthetics. But its story reaches far beyond our corner of the world. Though this beautifully teal-hued gemstone often feels synonymous with vintage and heritage-inspired fashion, its history stretches much further.
    So stick around as we explore this colorful rock and why you may want to rock it on your next cuff, necklace, pin, or ring.

    Running Shoes - Millennia of Trying to Not Injure Ourselves

    06/08/2026 | 28 mins.
    Today we’re talking about running! Not away from your problems, but the shoes you’d wear while you’re doing it.
    We’re putting aside the goodyear welts and chunky vibram soles to discuss the evolution of footwear options designed for that oh so human activity.
    And whether you’re someone who’s run marathon distances or sucked wind while running The Mile in gym class (trust me, I've been both at different points in my 25 years of running), you will definitely appreciate the advances we have available to us today as we stride towards running shoes.

    27/07/2026 | 15 mins.
    Today we’re talking about guayaberas. No, not guavas my Spanish speaking friends, but rather the shirt named after them.
    Also known as the cigar shirt or the camisa de Yucatan It’s been a staple of Latin American and Caribbean clothing spanning three centuries now and, yeah, it’s really nice to wear when it’s hot outside.
    So if you could please grin and bear it as we dive into the guayabera.

    The Bandana - Never Leave Home Without One

    20/07/2026 | 17 mins.
    Today we’re talking bandanas.
    Not banned books, bandoliers, or watch bands, we’re discussing the classic square of fabric you might find on the forehead of a biker or in the back pocket of someone who just likes leather.
    It may seem like a simple thing, but this paisley handkerchief has been in the making for nearly three thousand years and has played a significant part in the silk road, the American Revolution, the labor rights movement, and LGBT culture. And I pretty much never leave the house without one!
    So allow me to bend your ears as we get into the bandana.

    Tis The Seasoning - All About Cast Iron

    09/07/2026 | 22 mins.
    Today we’re putting down the iron fist. The cast iron one, that is!
    As you know, raw denim is our first love, and if there’s one item that’s most spiritually attuned to the raw denim lifestyle, it’s not another piece of clothing, it’s a piece of cookware.
    They both have ancient origins but became more commonplace in the 1800s, they both get better the more you use them, there are practically cults about how you should or shouldn’t clean them, and a well worn example probably has an equal amount of food caked into it.
