In the modern age you have the freedom to wear joggers to wedding or Vans as you cross the stage at your graduation...do you know why?
No it's just because we had a global pandemic that allowed us all to stay at home for a year or so.
You can thank the billion dollar outdoor industry who has been hard at work finding functional solutions to outdoor problems and as a result we are now more comfortable than ever.
The LAYERS of this conversation start back in the early days of humanity, run through to the buckskin wearing poseurs heading to the old American west and end today where different natural and synthetic fabrics now exist to keep us warm, dry, cool and safe in our outdoor adventures...but also in how we dress in our every day lives.
On the first season of LAYERS we take a look at this history and chronicle The Rise of Dressing Down.
