Describe your style
in five words or less.

“Oh yeah? That was nice.”

What are you shopping for
at the moment?

Outerwear. It's always outerwear.

Where did the name Blamo!
come from?

Ha! It means nothing and makes it easy to mean something else when I need to. I've always felt names shouldn't have too much weight. Imagine if I would've named it the Jeremy Kirkland show!? Oof!

How did your earlier career lead to what you’re doing now with podcasting?

I wouldn't say it was linear, but I've been lucky to have met some amazing people who encouraged me to grow away from where I was. Some folks hire people and want to keep them where they are ... forever. I've been lucky to work with folks who saw something else in me and encouraged me to focus on it. I don't take it for granted.

How did #seikobois begin?

Ha! #Seikobois was just a way to categorize my somewhat absurd love of Seiko watches. To this day, they continue to be one of the easiest brands to get into, collect and also produce some of the most incredible watches ever. They're often underrated and the most fun. Everyone has a Seiko story.

Lately, I've been drawn to Seikos from the '70s, and the 6139 'Pogue' is where it's at. It's a watch that people will double take and has a rich history (yes, it went to space, and it looks incredible no matter what size your wrist is).

Are there any similarities you look for when buying clothes and watches?

Absolutely! I like things that are easy to understand and are often overlooked. I know that sounds trite, but let me talk to you about a navy sport coat ... can it get any better than that?

Since you seem drawn to classic menswear, do you feel less drawn to buy into trends?

Trends help us figure out what we like. You should try things and find out what makes you the most comfortable. Are you going to be a dude wearing ninja pants with an asymmetrical leather jacket? Great. Are you wearing vintage military jeans? Great. But you won't know what you like until you try it. Go off, king.

Any brands you’re watching right now?

4S Designs, J.Mueser and 3sixteen.

What’s one garment that every man needs in his closet?

A made-to-measure or bespoke navy sport coat. When it fits just right, it's better than anything on earth.

Do you have a piece you’ll never part with?

My Engineered Garments chambray shirt. I bought it in 2010, and it continues to look better and work with everything I own.

What city has the
best shopping?

New York and Tokyo because everything is accepted and there's an expert for every style.

Do you shop more online or in person?

I look a lot online, but I tend to shop in person. You got to feel things, touch them and try them on. Being in a different environment helps you figure out whether it'll work at home.

Do you ever buy things
in multiples?

Denim. I know, it's kind of crazy, but I get scared of them changing the fit.

Which do you experience more: Buyer’s remorse or regret for not buying something?

I often regret not buying something because I'll think it's too simple. But the simple is what I want every day.

Necessary extravagance?

Paying for too many streaming services and good food. I will pass on the dollar slice, my friend.

What is something you refuse to spend a lot for?

Cereal. The generic stuff is just as good. Bagged cereal fam, where you at?

What’s one shopping hack that you can let everyone know about?

You don't need to buy things new. Many brands make the same thing year after year. Buy a Kiton coat that's ten years old and wear it for ten years.
