Our interview with Nicolas Gabard is lovable and desirable. Nicolas—founder of Husbands—was in town for his trunk show and kind enough to swing by and school us on how tailoring used to be for losers, his university of cool, focusing on different eras for different things along with the worst era for suiting, naivety as a superpower, retail as love and desire, selling the truth, his game is a game of centimeters and it all starts at the waist, the only constant is change, being grateful even for the window shoppers, fabric obsession, he's a don who doesn't wear shorts, flying in suits, getting ratted on for wearing jeans during Covid, going from being inspired to being the inspiration so he's flattered when brands rip him off because they'll never have the sauce, Japan is the one country where people still need to wear suits, existing between the worlds of Tailoring and Fashion, you only obligation as a customer is to wear your suits, pants that are your enemy, the two-way conversation between customer and tailor, being yourself and daring to be sexy, putting culture at the center of your brand, good clothing is like therapy, celebrities going from the mood board to the register, investing time in new customers, the iconic laidback and nerdy New Yorker, the myth of French menswear and The Battle of Versailles, do you homework before a first date, staying indie and growing the right way so you can become an institution, his obsession with physical median and much more on Nicolas Gabard's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.


In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
