10SewingMachinezExcellent long format interviewsI have really been enjoying this podcast! The long format and in-depth interviews are a breath of fresh air. All the information on book reviews and what other people in the garment world are doing have been great. As a home sewer and creator I find myself sometimes in a bit of a vacuum and this podcast really helps broaden my view and knowledge. Thank you!! Keep up the great work.

unitedstyleGreat menswear podcast with an eco-touchNick gets interviews with some great people in both menswear and the fashion industry in general. Most interviews, but not all, also touch on the ecological impact of the fashion industry. It’s a great extension of his Well Dressed Dad website.

The Reg1Well Dressed Dad Has A Podcast!I follow him on Instagram and am happy to hear his podcast. He has a nice range of guests and an interesting array of topics. Rock on!

pblythe1224Unique, informative, inspiringAbsolutely wonderful podcast that encourages us to think differently about clothes and the clothes industry. I love the rolling conversations and the thought - provoking ideas about this industry. I came here because of an Instagram post. So glad I did as it’s such a different show than all the rest

63MorganXKGreat podcast for sustainable apparel!!!If you are tired of the same old fashions being doled out by the fast fashion industry and would like to hear from makers of sustainable wear than this is the podcast for you. The host is well versed in fashionable, sustainable wear and delves not only into fashion with his guests but also the social and economic impact that face smaller producers of sustainable clothing. Quite entertaining.

bsquadleaderVery informative podcastAs a new apparel designer, I find every episode of Garmology to be very informative and helpful. I learn a lot from Nick and the guests and their experiences. In particular, I enjoy that the episodes are more of a casual conversation than a typical interview.

Chuka UmunnaA thoughtful and engaging dive into the roots of style.Nick is a thought leader. He has curated a very interesting array of makers, players and contributors that shape the conversation around menswear. He touches on everything from well being to globalization, and their implications on what we wear. Truly interesting and enjoyable interviews that delve well below the surface. Thank-you for articulating through your guests, the essence of style.

rdellingerWonderful podcast!I’ve been following Well Dressed Dad for a while on Twitter and Instagram, but Garmology is a revelation. For example, Harris Tweed - there is no analogy in textiles. You’d have to go to Champagne to see such protection and care of a craft and a region. So many gems like this in each episode!

GG McGuillicuttyVery interestingI follow Well Dressed Dad on Instagram so I figured I would give the podcast a listen. So far I’ve really enjoy the discussions. I know little about fashion but I like learning new things and I like how Nick focuses on sustainability and buying well made items that can be worn for a lifetime. I hate the idea of fast fashion and how it much waste and all the other personal and environmental degradation it causes. If you’re interested in learning about sustainable men’s fashion or just new to it in general, I highly recommend you give this podcast a listen.
