Nigel Cabourn

My guest this week is British designer Nigel Cabourn, a legend in the clothing industry with a vintage archive of 4K+ pieces. He’s been in business since the 1970s and has been creating a world with rich history and storytelling and many of his items are grail status among collectors. Nigel and I discuss how Paul Smith introduced him to vintage, the power of transparency, the story of the cameraman jacket, the best era for vintage denim, and hear enough sidebars to make you feel you’re at his home eating dinner.
