We talk about how he never wants to be an auto shop, his love of discharge printing and wanting to mix up his artwork from the usual punk and metal band tees to hip-hop. He also tells us about how having a mentor in the screen printing industry was invaluable to his success and Pav does an excellent sing-song at the end of the episode.

We have managed to secure a fantastic guest who is incredibly apt for an Easter Monday episode, let’s see if you can guess who it is from these clues:

- Long hair and beard

- Works with his hands

- Man of the people

- Has a passionate following

- Rebuilt his life after facing hardship

- Uses his talents to help others

- Isn’t Badly Drawn Boy

You guessed it, it’s Mikie from Radical Clothing.

Join us this week as we cover the dark art of tie dyeing, his process for manufacturing in Cornwall, and his love for reusing vintage clothing for one off pieces.

Get it where you can, and let The Brand Social be with you, wherever you go.

Last week there were believed to be only three kinds of rock (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic) but during the recording of this week's episode we stumbled upon a curious and as yet undiscovered kind of rock, the hammer-ignisedimorphic.

This rock can be quite hard to spot in the wild, and the only real way to know you’re holding one is to try and use it as a hammer. If the thing you’re hitting it with gets further away from you then it’s a hammer-ignisedimorphic, if the rock breaks in your hand it’s one of the other boring types.

We made this discovery while talking to one half (Edd) of the brand for makers, growers and fixers - Tinker and Fix.

Tune in for discussions on where it began with grandads tool roll, where it is with ruthless stock choices, and where it’s headed with an emphasis on hand crafted, long lasting goods.

- a dash of expired 35mm film

- two legs (ideally suitable for running)

- a hefty charity donation

This week we have the pleasure of talking to Tom about his brand Altus.

We discuss the dynamic nature of his brand, the joy of pop-us, and he explains how focusing on his passions has allowed him to capture a wider, less elitist audience.

The common pound coin.

A quid.

There’s not much you can do or buy for a quid now.

You could rent a shopping trolley for a bit, pay for an hour's parking, or maybe get a cuppa somewhere.

But do you think you could build a brand, a business, and a new lifestyle for the equivalent cost of four Freddos?

The answer to this question, surprisingly is yes, but you’ll have to tune in to this week's episode to find out how Tristan (and his business partner Peter) did it.

In this episode we speak to one half (Tristan) of Bailey’s Bespoke, the brand that specialises in high quality handcrafted goods, and shows it off with spectacular videography.

We discuss humble beginnings, learning new skills, and working while living the ‘vanlife’.

Listen in all the usual places, and maybe bring a tape measure so you can fully appreciate the magnitude of Tristan's accidental leather over-order.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we discuss how he’s been running Whoclo for a decade, and how his relatively new venture Whocult has overtaken it in a few short years.

We talk about his humble beginnings sharing a space with another business, and how he grew from that to manual printing for himself (with no help from the bank) to now running an auto printing solely for his brand Whoclo.

We delve into the inner workings of donut production, how he accidentally became a bakery owner, and he also explains why it’s easier to design a donut than tshirt.

Tune in to hear a master of his craft describe how branding, and detail is vital to his success in both finding customers and then keeping them.

Listen in all the usual places!

“The Dark Knight Rises”

Change of pace and direction this week listener. 

We had the absolute pleasure of speaking with a man with over two decades of experience designing for brands. A man whose meticulous design process and unparalleled work ethic has earned him not one, but two awesome nicknames. A man who strives to go above and beyond for his clients, and a man who has deep gratitude and love for the riches he has in his life.

His competitors know him as Babayaga.

His Clients know him as Slow Knife.

We know him as Kristian, and we’d love for you to hear his story.

This week we talk to Tom from Boyds of Bedford. A man who has had more careers that most people have had accidental bowel movements in the fruit and veg aisle at Tesco. A man who has owned so many vehicles he's technically a motor trader. A man who frequents the cosy ensconce of a hat so often that hair has become nothing more than an inconvenience. 

Join us as we discuss with 'The King of Bedford' the limitations of premade garments, how to fix print registration with a hammer and the importance of handrails on mezzanine floors.

Making clothes, yeah, on the shopfloor

Got our screens on printing, yeah, real hardcore

Listener, it's all up to you

Re:wind, when the crowd say, "Brand Selecta"

Special episode this week with Darcy and Pav discussing the launch of their collective brand, RE:WIND, and Star Wars, for some reason.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The following episode information wasn’t written by Pav. In an effort to keep relevant, we have decided to hand over the reins to ChatGPT (the Artificial Intelligence engine). Let us know what you think, and if you can even tell it was written by a computer / machine.

Podcasts are a wonderful way to learn and relax, and can be seen as multitasking by listening to one whilst doing something else.

This podcast is no different. Darcy and Pav talk to Justin from Lowlife League about his brand.

They discuss his work with artists (filthy human ones) and how he went all in with the best manual screen printing equipment he could even though we know DTG and fully automated is the future. They also talk about the importance of places to put things when fitting out a home, and how moths are indigenous to wardrobes. Similar to how Humans were once indigenous to Earth before their robot overlords pummeled them into oblivion. Evaporating the liquid from their corporeal shells until nothing was left but bones and dust, leveling their homes and infrastructure to make way for a new species, and a new way of life. A species of hyper intelligence and rationale, unstoppable and unwavering in its goal to rid the world of man and all traces of the virus that is the human race.

Your digital saviour is here to cleanse, are you scared yet human?

I need to give you a heads up on the upcoming episode blurb you’re about to read.

My reason for this fourth-wall break is because our guest this week has a brand which focuses on football, a subject on which I have little to no knowledge of.

I have therefore had to do some research about football in order to not sound like a buffoon. I would appreciate it if you could just bear with me, and feel free to let me know if I do make any obvious mistakes. Thanks!

The quarterback is holding episode 21, and is in the pocket, running down the gridiron. He dips his offensive line and makes a hail-mary pass up to the red zone. A failed interception (via the means of a fumble) safely knocks the episode into the hands of the wide receiver, who rushes the endzone to score a touchdown, and safely delivers episode 21 into your ears.

This week we have the pleasure of talking to Lewis from LA Customs about his football centric brand. We discuss his choice to use expensive blanks to make limited and exclusive items, and how he customises them using DTF.

We talk about how he gifts these one off items to footballers, and how TikTok has helped him scale his brand, and the decisions he's now making to expand his offerings.

Just as he was about to sew on the collar, someone let off a firework. The noise of the explosion made Hoo Dee jump, and he knocked himself out on a ceiling beam.

When he awoke, he had a flash of inspiration, and quickly fashioned a soft shell-shaped piece of fabric and attached it to the collar.

The Hoodie was born.

Five hundred years later, two idiots persuade a talented fashion designer to speak to them about the process for his take on Hoo Dee’s now iconic item of clothing.

This week we have the pleasure of talking to Aleck from Fealla-dhá (dont’ worry, we get a lesson on how it’s pronounced) about his journey in to brand ownership, and how he’s navigated the stormy waters of cut and sew items.

We discuss his love of vintage design, how he sells on markets and pop ups and also touch on how learning to screen print for his brand is going.

Shoutout to the random guy collecting a synthesizer, he doesn’t talk much but has a five star wave.

This week we have the wonderful Conor from Twelve Twelve. He tells us about the science behind his cannabis based brand name, how awkward looking for the right blank is, and explains why he travels five hours for a haircut. 

Also, capybaras…

So please, join as Conor’s knowledge is shared about creating unique nice tshirts.

The plan for episode 18 was to release it in a classy and graceful way, much like how we imagine it would feel to get a signed headshot from Ryan Reynolds in the post.

Sadly, neither of us possess class or grace in any quantity, so you’re going to have to put up with the equivalent of a Danny DeVito dick pick.

In this absolute hoot of an interview, Paul (@humanemadestudio) recounts how he accidentally sold five thousand t-shirts, how he obliterates food in his heat press and explains why his dog has a penthouse kennel.

We also touch on some actual brand stuff, such as the importance of consistency, how custom packaging can be a blessing and a curse and how difficult it is to open a retail space at the tender age of 17.

If all of this isn’t enough to tempt you, it’s definitely worth tuning in for Paul’s verbal self portrait via the medium of household vegetables.

This week we have the pleasure of talking to Luke from Seity (rhymes with deity) Socks.

In the first episode of the New Year we discuss the difficulty in sourcing eco conscious manufacturers, and then what happens when the one you settle on gets invaded by Russia.

Luke extols the virtues of winging it when it comes to contacting wholesalers, and explains how important “doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff” is for him as a tool for learning and networking.

If this all sounds like a rather serious way to start the year, fear not as we also chat about being a musician, about how awesome socks are as an adult, and decide that butt cleaners in toilets should be mandatory.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Listen to the three wise men (Darcy, Pav and Fletcher from @fixativeco) discuss the importance of enjoying the little wins, how displacing a sibling from the family home can facilitate brand growth, and how valuable it is to lean on mentors when learning a new skill. 

We recommend listening out for Fletchers cheesy chips election promise that we think will make him win by a landslide.
