This episode is a poignant one. Yes, believe it or not, this is the final episode of HandCut Radio. After three years and more than 50 episodes, we’re hanging up our microphones to pursue new projects.But, before we go, we wanted to respond to one frequent request that’s come up while we’ve made this podcast. A surprising number of you have been in touch to ask whether someone could possibly interview Aleks, and now they have. For this special sign-off episode we asked Paul Croughton, editor-in-chief of the Robb Report to quiz our host on everything we’ve learned in speaking to so many fascinating and successful people for HandCut Radio. A huge thank you to Paul from the whole team here for taking some time out to record this finale episode.We very much hope you enjoy.

Mark Cho

We could think of no better way to wrap up this season of HandCut Radio than by revisiting an old guest, Mark Cho, co-founder of The Armoury and co-owner of Drake’s. We’ve called this episode “Mark Cho’s take on 2022” because a lot of the themes we explore – the ‘casualisation’ of style, the different ways men are reinventing suiting, the danger of hype and the saturation of everyone’s attention – feel very relevant to the moment we find ourselves in. We hope you’ll agree that this is a fitting end to our sixth season.As always, thank you very much indeed for your support and for tuning in. Don’t forget to let us know what you think – leave us a review or drop us a DM.---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, the London based creative office of James Allen.

Mark Cho’s take on 2022 | #055

Jason Jules

This week we’re bending the rules of our New York style season slightly, by interviewing fellow Brit, Jason Jules. Regardless, his new book Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style is extremely pertinent to this season’s theme, given its concern with mid-century American style. Aleks and Jason explore Black Ivy in this episode, of course, but we also hear about Jason’s fascination for cultural trend-spotting, his passion for jazz music and his admiration for progressive rap culture. It’s a fascinating conversation, this. We hope you enjoy it.---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, the London based creative office of James Allen.

Peter Middleton

Imagine that you’re a young, 20-something clothing designer, and you’re self-funding the growth of your label. It’s going well and you’ve invested heavily in your next collection. Then, picture an overnight flash-flood, a warehouse filled with more than three feet of water, and half that collection being written off. Peter Middleton, the founder of Wythe, found himself in that very position less than a year ago.We wanted to talk to him about what the rollercoaster of building a young brand is like, and how he bounced back from this huge challenge. We also explore the formula that’s making Wythe an up-and-coming American menswear gem, and how Peter’s background in textile design informs everything he does.---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, the London based creative office of James Allen.

This is the first of two ‘three years on’ episodes we’re featuring this season, with American brands that featured on HandCut Radio in the podcast’s infancy.

Michael Hainey

This week’s episode of our New York City special is something of a departure from our normal service, in that it’s much more about storytelling than menswear. You can blame Aleks for this; the chance to quiz Air Mail deputy editor and New York Times bestselling author Michael Hainey on on his extraordinary career was just too much to handle.So, in this conversation Aleks explores Hainey’s career, gets his take on ‘finding your voice’, and hears Hainey’s thoughts on why the best journalists write up what they see, rather than what they think. The pair also chat through Hainey’s cathartic experience in writing his extraordinary memoire, After Visiting Friends.If you enjoy listening, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram @handcutradio, and leave us a five star review – it boosts us up the podcast charts, and helps other listeners to discover HandCut Radio.---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, the London based creative office of James Allen.

The pair also chat through Hainey’s cathartic experience in writing his extraordinary memoire, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/After-Visiting-Friends-Sons-Story/dp/1451676611" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">After Visiting Friends</a>.If you enjoy listening, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/handcutradio/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@handcutradio</a>, and leave us a five star review – it boosts us up the podcast charts, and helps other listeners to discover HandCut Radio. --- HandCut Radio is produced by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/birch.london/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Birch</a>, the London based creative office of James Allen.

Jack Carlson

“The clothes that we think of as elitist came from a place of fun and irreverence,” says Jack Carlson, founder of New York based indie brand, Rowing Blazers.

How Mark Cho makes decisions | #020

Michael Hill

In Season One, one brand came up as a favourite of our guests more than any other: Drake’s. Mr Michael Hill is the man responsible for this popularity. He is Drakes’ Creative Director, and it is his vision that has transformed the brand from a humble tie maker in London’s East End, to a globally recognised menswear brand with two factories and shops in London, New York and Tokyo to its name.The two discuss Drakes’ slow and steady evolution over the past 10 years, why Mike doesn’t think of Drake’s as a ‘brand’, and how running a small business – albeit a successful one – takes serious guts.---HandCut Radio is produced in collaboration with Birch, a London and New York based creative agency.

Greg Lellouche

Like many guys with a passion for clothes, Greg Lellouche’s first choice of career wasn’t menswear. Instead, he embarked on a successful career as an investment banker, but all the while an idea was slowly forming in his mind.Looking for a change of scene, he left the corporate world in 2013 to create an online store where other men like him could come to access tailored clothes made by artisans, at a time when, pre-Mr Porter, there were almost no options to pick up classic menswear outside of eBay.Skip forward to 2019, and No Man Walks Alone has established itself as one of the most respected online retailers in our space. In this episode, Greg talks to Aleks about what drove him to make the switch into menswear retail, and why he felt the time was right to launch a digital platform when online menswear retail was in its infancy. We also hear Greg’s take on the industry today, unpick the problems of “sprezzatura”, and get his tips on dressing well in a conservative business environment.***This episode of HandCut Radio is sponsored by Floris.

He was talent-spotted during a televised modelling competition in 2001, and shot to global stardom as the face of Dolce &amp; Gabbana’s iconic Light Blue campaign in 2006.

Patrick Grant

Patrick Grant is an award-winning British menswear designer and a champion of British manufacturing. In 2005, he quit a career in engineering, remortgaged his house and sold his car to buy Norton &amp; Sons, a failing Savile Row tailoring house. He’s since transformed it into one of the Row’s most elegant and successful bespoke tailors.He went on to establish E.Tautz, a modern British sportswear brand that’s informed by its rich history of clothing innovation. Most recently, he founded Community Clothing, a design co-operative that makes clothes for men and women using British factories, and supporting local communities in the process. To do this, he’s developed a new retail model to create high quality clothes that can compete with fast fashion in terms of price.He speaks to Aleks about how he’s broken the mould, and why we all need to think differently about where our clothes are made.***This episode of HandCut Radio is sponsored by Floris.

Ethan Newton

To kick-start Season Three, we could think of few menswear aficionados better suited than Ethan Newton, co-founder of one of Asia’s coolest indie menswear emporiums, Bryceland’s &amp; Co.  Ethan’s reputation within menswear precedes him. Together with his partner, Kenji Cheung, Ethan has created a brand with cult status to indie menswear-heads. Bryceland’s &amp; Co’s diverse collection ranges from mid-century inspired Americana to unique strands of Southern Italian tailoring. Ethan’s passion for clothing is extraordinary, as is his self-assured perspective on what makes menswear special. Tune in for some insight into the founding philosophy of Bryceland’s &amp; Co, Ethan’s own take on where indie menswear’s at, and to hear the two explore Ethan’s own personal mantra: ‘if you like who are, be who you are”. We hope you enjoy.***HandCut Radio is proud to be sponsored by Thomas Mason, an historic mill that’s been supplying famous designers, shirtmakers and tailors with world class shirting fabrics since 1796.***Show Notes:Ethan Newton — Website | Instagram [02:22] Bryceland’s &amp; Co[03:01] Kenji Cheung[03:06] RRL [03:07] The Armoury[09:34] The Rake[10:53] Jimmy Stuart[10:54] Cary Grant[10:54] Gary Cooper[14:08] Saint Crispin’s[16:38] Bryceland's Sawtooth Westerner Denim Shirt[32:08] Adam Rogers[32:08] Adret by Adam Rogers[32:14] Scott Fraser Simpson[32:18] Scott Fraser Simpson Knitwear[32:21] Drake’s ---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, a London based creative agency.

Saman Amel

The duo behind Stockholm-based tailoring Brand, Atelier Saman Amel, are two of the most down-to-earth individuals in menswear. Dag Granath and Saman Amel met as toddlers, and have been friends (and latterly business partners) ever since.Atelier Saman Amel is now nine-years-old, and during that time the pair have worked tirelessly to create a dynamic menswear brand with clothes that are neither formal, nor casual, but for those ‘in-between’ moments in a man’s life. They create clothes that make flawless use of texture and a tonal colour palette, inspired by art, architecture and interior design. Building a brand has been a real adventure for this pair, and to have the chance to hear their story gave all of us at HandCut Radio real pleasure.

Berg & Berg’s modern approach to classic menswear | #027

Jamie Ferguson

This week, Aleks sits down with an old friend, prominent street style photographer, Jamie Ferguson, better known on Instagram as @JKF_MAN.Jamie’s been shooting menswear for five years, following a few years spent as an actor, and a few more working in fashion marketing.

This week, Aleks sits down with an old friend, prominent street style photographer, Jamie Ferguson, better known on Instagram as @JKF_MAN. Jamie’s been shooting menswear for five years, following a few years spent as an actor, and a few more working in fashion marketing. Today, he’s known for his compelling editorial and street style photography, shooting for a wide array of independent brands that make, in his own words, ‘interesting, wearable clothes.’ He talks to Aleks about his career path, plus what’s hot and what’s not in menswear today. He also explores the challenges of creating striking visuals in a market that’s obsessed with throwaway digital content, and highlights some brands that he rates for their originality.

Why classic style has to evolve with Esquire magazine’s Nick Sullivan | #026

Paul Croughton: The editor-in-chief of Robb Report on making media for today’s man | #016

Nicolas Gabard

Very few brands out there are as special as Husbands right now. Paris’s chicest tailoring house occupies a unique position in the new community of brands taking root in the French capital. Nicolas founded his boutique in 2012, following over a decade working in law and then communications, and this move into menswear has given him a new lease of life. His approach to clothing is distinctly philosophical; he argues that ‘a suit is not just a suit’, but a tool to empower men to become the very best version of themselves – to be better fathers and husbands, for example.He insists that everything Husbands does is founded in a deep appreciation of culture, and he draws an important distinction between brands that merely ‘sell clothes’ and those which take care to ‘dress people’. We found his take on classic style fascinating, and hope that you will too.***HandCut Radio is proud to be sponsored by Thomas Mason, an historic mill that’s been supplying famous designers, shirtmakers and tailors with world class shirting fabrics since 1796.***Show Notes:Nicolas Gabard — Website | Instagram[11:06] Theorem, Pier Paolo Pasolini (film, 1968)[15:52] Wei Koh[17:05] Helmut Lang[17:06] Martin Margiela[17:07] Dries van Noten[18:49] Tommy Nutter[33:22] Cary Grant[33:27] North by North West (film, 1959)---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, a London based creative agency.
