Well I think we can all agree that we've been waiting for this one. Paul is by far the most famous and recognizable vintage personality. How did he get there? By being super consistent and dedicated his youtube audience. We may all know him as the number 1 trip to the thrift hauler but he has accomplishments well beyond that. He is an artist, fashion graduate, owns a house with no mortgage, is an avid gardener and so much more. I hope you enjoy this deep dive with the man Paul Cantu!
]]>I took my family to the Market in Mexico so see what we could find. We met up with Emmanuel and Ronnaldo who reached out about taking us on a tour. These guys are true legends. They showed us the ropes and made our adventure epic. Watch the vid. Hope you enjoy.
]]>I met Enrique back deep in the pandemic when he was a regular on the live show I had running with Kirby of @deadunion. Since then we have become friends and it was great to dive deeper in this episode into what makes him tick and the history that got him here. @fineanddandyarchive is a shop based in the Hells Kitchen neighbourhood of New York City. We chat about opening the shop, dealing with movies and wardrobe, his history working with Zara, but we go especially deep into trend forecasting and merchandising. Enrique is a master of vintage merchandising. Enjoy!
]]>Meet Joe aka @champagneroomwithsinatra. Joe is the co-founder of Faded Vintage Trade Show and host the their Whatnot show that has been making waves in the vintage industry. Beyond his physical resume hes just a down to earth Boston boy who has a deep passion for the vintage, t-shirts design, and the stories behind them. This is a truly great episode. Enjoy!
]]>Wherever you stand on the moral debate about digging out abandoned locations, I'm sure you all can appreciate a good come up. Last week my best friend Pete and I hit the road to go surf City Wave Lakeside Surf in Chelan Washington. We didn't have any plans accept surfing the standing wave and hitting some thrifts. We ended up coming up on a couple scores including a very cool denim score and a wild abandoned property. Enjoy!
]]>Isaiah is quickly making a name for himself in the true vintage world but it wasn't always his focus. He gained his passion for vintage through his time spent buying and selling high end designer clothing from Japan. Hailing from Tacoma, Washington, Isaiah truly loves the clothing and isn't afraid to sell what he likes whether it's a pair of 40s jeans or a y2k baby doll tee. Enjoy this episode.
]]>Zip Stevenson most recently known for co-purchasing the $76,000 Levis Jeans is not a rookie to the vintage world. He has been buying and selling vintage for over 30 years. Most known for specializing in denim and leather, zip has made a name for himself not only in Hollywood, but worldwide. This is a great dive into his many endeavours including all three of his businesses, Hollywood Trading, the Denim Doctor, and Stevenson Overalls. We talk about his recent collaboration with Supreme, buying back American vintage from Japan, helping to start Gallery Dept and the $76,000 Jeans. Enjoy!
]]>Erik comes to us as one of the most highly requested guests of all time and for good reason. There must be something in the water in Idaho because he is my third guest this year from "the gem state" and boy does he ever find those gems. Erik specializes true vintage and is sure good at hunting down. He recently lost over 40k in stock in a freak truck fire after Brimfield this year but I dont think that is slowing him down. Enjoy!
]]>Recently I have been following Jacobs adventures traveling around the USA sleeping in his car, thrifting, selling what he finds and vlogging the whole thing. I had to get him on the show to tell us first hand about his adventures. There is a lot more to Jacob than his vlogs may have you think. Enjoy the episode.

]]>The Racks are not dead rings true on this one. @champagnecepp had the come up of the lifetime and it was straight off the racks at his local thrift. You will have to listen for the story but its a good one. He was pulling insane 70s and 80s Patagonia for weeks straight that was slowly making its way to the front. White tag, deadstock, rare samples and so much more. Enjoy.

]]>I really hate the saying "It was a movie" but Durango Vintage Festivus really was a movie lol.
Brit Eatton needs no introduction. If you unfamiliar with him go listen to the podast that I recorded with him a while back. Link here
Durango Vintage Festivus really was the Woodstock 1969 of Vintage events. Filled with events such as the pile auction and denim olympics, there was something happening at all times to keep you busy. This event was the first of its kind to allow the whole vintage community to gather and spend authentic time together.
Enough about that, just listen to the episode.
