Our guest this week is an old soul who's forever young.

He swapped the D for Big Band Paws and moved to London so young Carter could go farther, go further, go harder. He might live on the continent, but the brand is firmly planted in his Americana roots. And as the label matures, every collection asks a simple question that seems to evade a lot of you MFers. What if we made wearable clothes that don't suck butt? Here to chat with us about men's fashion victims, working at Kithin Alix and making custom suits for the most stylish guys out there. Founder and designer of the brand Carter Young, Carter, Young, Altman, Carter, how the hell are you? I'm pretty good. I like that intro. Thanks. Yeah, that was great. Did we look key, you know? Did we miss anything? No, I think the not sucking butt thing, you pulled from my website, right?

Yeah. that intro. Thanks. Yeah, that was great. Did we low key, you know? Did we miss anything?

No, I think the not sucking butt thing, you pulled from my website, right? Yes, absolutely. Yeah. No, I think your public has told me to include that. No. How many people think your name is Carter Young? Honestly, like, Mr. Young, nice to meet you. Most people. I mean, it is. Yeah. You're right, but, yo, your initials are, see ya.

I've thought about that.

You're, your initials are, see ya. I thought about that. Your bread used to suck ass, but then you pivoted, it's not sucking ass. That's like, it was a conscious decision. Yeah. Yeah. What if we didn't suck, but? As customers and fans are root, we appreciate the pivot. The hard pivot to making amazing clothes. Carter, thank you so much for joining us, flying all the way back to New York to talk to us for

two hours. I'm leaving right after that. The first thing you want to do is just a quick little

fit check if you want to run us through everything you wore to Pod today. Okay, I'm wearing

some kind of like dance shoes. I think they're from that brand Toga virilist. They got the metal in the heel. Yeah, the taps. Can you tap dance them? I can try. Maybe after the pot. Okay. We'll bust the move. A little two step. I got some helmet laying jeans on. Ooh. And then. Are they from your tenure at helmet? it? No, actually, I just bought them. Archive? Yeah, they're, they're, they're, I got them in Portugal. So I don't know when they're from. And then, uh, what about the socks though? Uniclo. Okay. Great socks for sure. Is Uniclo huge in London the way it is in New York and obviously other parts of the world? I mean, I think that the stores are big, but people don't talk about it the same way, in my experience. Maybe they do. That's stiff upper lip. Yeah, exactly. And then... Is Helmut your preferred denim brand besides your own, maybe? I've actually never owned a pair of the jeans before. For someone built like you, I could see them being a top tier choice. Yeah, it's really nice, actually. Yeah, it must be nice to be a fucking gummy ass motherfucker, dude. Yeah, that's also how I describe myself. What about the fly-ass belt you wore? Oh, my mom gave this to me. I have no idea idea what it's from, but it's got like velvet flocking on the side. Oh shit. I thought it was like a zebra print, but it's actually like hand drawn. Like I see Slash. I think it was hand drawn. Is that slash from Guns N'Roses? He fucking looks like some type of. It's cool wearing a top hat. Yeah. I think that's about as close you can get. All right. Great gift from mom. Shout out to her. Yeah. Shout out mom.

What about the tops?

This is, um, some type of cool wearing a top hat. Yeah. It's about as close you can get. All right.

Great gift from mom.

Shout out to her.

Yeah.

Shout out mom. What about the tops? This is one of my denim shirts and then one of my blazers from last season. Nice. Hardware? This is also from my mom. Oh, wow. A brand called Tate Ocean. I don't know it.

She's a good gift giver, dude.

I don't think she gave them his gifts.

I think I just kind of took it.

Oh. a brand called Tate Ocean. I don't know. She's a good gift giver, dude.

I don't think she gave them his gifts. I think I just kind of took. Oh, well, fuck you then. There's not from your mom. She was a great gift giver. Okay. It's not from your mom. It's of your mom. You're going to rob someone, rob your mom, I guess. Did you steal the earrings of your mom, too?

No, definitely.

Okay.
