A brand, a manufacturer, and a sewing machine maker walk into a pandemic...

Hi, this is Charles. 

So... a weird couple of months there, for various reasons. Not sure if you noticed some of them. 

Anyway, dropping 6 episodes as quickly as I can get them edited. A few of them are actually from last year and just never got out the door.

Then... fresh new stuff... weekly stuff... the stuff your ears and fashion nerd brain crave.

There is a new feature on our website, where you can leave us a message. We would love to hear from you... SAY SOMETHING: https://americanfashionpodcast.com/feedback/

I just rebuilt our network's website. How's it look? https://www.mouthmedianetwork.com/
