Hey, JJ Virgin here. On my podcast, Well Beyond 40, we ditch the idea of aging gracefully and go all in on aging powerfully.

Every week I host powerful experts who can give you powerful insights on building muscle, boosting your energy, and feeling amazing no matter what your age.

This is your one life. And trust me, being smarter and

stronger are superpowers that can turn lifespan into strength span. Listen to Well Beyond 40

wherever you get your podcasts. Dress, the history of fashion is a production of Dress Media.

With over 8 billion people in the world, we all have one thing in common.

Every day, we all get dressed.

Welcome to Dressed, the History of Fashion, a podcast that explores the who-what win of why we wear. We are friends,

fashion historians, and your host, Cassie Zachary and April Callahan. Dandies, Dandies, is how a

recent email to me from today's guest began very recently. And this week we are pleased to continue our conversation on dandyism with a discussion

of the life and legend of arguably the world's most famous dandy, Bo Brummel.

And we are perhaps stressed listeners a bit remiss in not covering Brummel until season

eight of the podcast, we know he has been

long promised to you. And that is because within menswear history, his figure looms quite large.

He is the subject of books, plays, songs, and poems, satirical and otherwise, and even a bronze

sculpture by Irene Sedleka put in place in 2022 in London's Mayfair neighborhood,

which was home to not only Bremel in the 19th century, but also remains one of the global epicenters of fine tailoring.

And of course, I'm talking about Saville Row.

This week's two-part episode will examine the myriad of anecdotes of Brummel's sartorial

adventures and esteemed place in London High Society during the early 19th century.

And just when we wrap up his rather stylish biography, we're actually going to put it all in

question.
