G. Bruce Boyer is the preeminent menswear journalist, writer and historian of our time. He has written six books on men's style and worked as an editor for Town & Country, GQ and Esquire. And while he’s written about silk ascots, Savile Row suits, bespoke shoes and much more, he’s never told his own story. Until now. Hosted by Pedro Mendes.The Hogtown Rake Art Decorative Arts & Design

It's a collection of essays Bruce has written about some of his favourite artists, including Jimmy Smith, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and many, many more.

Great insight into such an esoteric world that is hard to learn about. Would absolutely listen to thousands of hours of this stuff.
