Attirely insatiable - With Nick & Jon

Today's guest is Jon Fowler, inveterate garmsman and collector of the weird, obscure, traditional and bespoke. We talk about Jon's background in clothes, growing up on a farm, his love for waxed cotton and tweed, going deep into the world of army surplus and how what once was cheap and available is now rare, collectable and super expensive. The conversation takes a turn into British Made, how a real history counts, and how faking up a heritage works against brands, ending up in fast fashion. In a final twist we're introduced to a high-end brand very few have heard about, and Jon bumped into the eccentric designer on the street in Brighton. Clearly this episode is another unmissable hour of quality chat!
