These guys describe IN DETAIL with weighted arguments what is what in the denim/boot world. What they say has substance, even when I don’t agree with them. The people they host on their podcast are also worth listening to. This podcast is worth your while. These guys don’t waste your time with a bunch of meaningless YouTube garbage like: “I love my boots/denim because they’re just so cool and I love them and they’re really high quality. I feel so good when I put them on because they’re great. They’re so cool. Did I mention I think they’re great? But I’m not gonna tell you why. I’m just gonna say I’m in love with my clothes for 5 minutes and waste your time.”

These guys know a ton about the industry, and they provide a valuable resource which is continuing to grow, to the benefit of us all.

Informative and substantive
