Episode Overview

This bonus Patreon episode of Throwing Fits finds hosts James Harris and Lawrence Schlossman (aka "the last American in Paris" and "all my haters become my gators at the table of success") riffing on recent travels, style moves, and fashion bro moments. The episode kicks off with laughs about recent fits and continues into candid conversations on thrifted finds, Parisian adventures, and obscure menswear lore—all delivered in their signature irreverent, bantering style.

Key Discussion Points

1. Fit Checks and Style Banter

• Lawrence’s Parisian Fit:

  • Bone-in Timberlands (Tim’s) (“unlike Wardell, Stephen Curry”), prepping for Black History Month “the only way I know how—straight up cultural appropriate, gentrify the month, choked ethically as a white man.”
  • Hicks slouch socks unslouched “like lederhosen to keep my completely infantile legs warm,” can’t deal with Heat Tech: “It’s too hot.”
  • Bottega jeans, Emporio Armani turtleneck, Our Legacy Workshop, Haven Nanga puffer, Small Talk Studio hat, Brady Brand on the “cock and balls,” Thistles sunnies, vintage velos.

  “If I wasn’t wearing jeans right now I would look disgusting, but also as slutty as possible—lederhosen with the Tims.”
  (Lawrence, 02:05)

• James’s NYC Blizzard Fit:

  • Salomon boots (“what I’ve been having to wear during…blizzards in New York”), Uniqlo hat, Manresa socks, Orslow pants (forgotten at tailor—a surprise pick-up).
  • “Shout out Ramon—best hemmer in the game in the land.” (03:50)
  • Canvas pants, OrLegacy t-shirt, oversized Our Legacy puffer, mysterious vintage gator (scarf).
  • Boxers: Hanes (under the Heat Tech for sanitary layering). “Heat Tech isn’t only hot—that’s what’s great about it: it keeps you cool when you don’t need it, and warm when you do.” (09:58)

2. Travel Tales & Parisian Vibes

• Lawrence in Paris:

  • Staying in Pigalle, encountering “OG Moulin Rouge” and tourist-trap burlesque joints, window-shopping sex shops: “It’s fun to just window shop, to window shop.” (04:46)
  • Banter about finding the “seediest part of Paris” and international mischief: “International shenanigans.” (04:58)

  “What is, like, the actual seediest part of Paris? Maybe the whole city?”
  (Lawrence, 04:58)

• Style Cross-Pollination & Appropriation

  • Joking about “slutty socks” and lederhosen, appropriation vs. celebration, and merging German and American gear.

3. Menswear Lore: Vintage Finds and Deep Dives

• James’s Vintage Gator Scarf:

  • Acquired in 2005 in Tokyo from Napoleon Fish (early “gorp” store), made by Dakota and possibly “Nasen Guam.”
  • Patchwork, upcycled “before upcycling was a thing.”
  • Slogan: “The good one is offered regardless of old or new clothes”—unclear but “hard as hell, dude.” (07:21)
  • Discussion on the current status of Dakota, Nasen Guam (as a brand, shop, and agency), and their wild, gorp-y product.

  “It is a brand called Dakota…The slogan is great…‘the good one is offered regardless of old or new clothes.’”
  (Lawrence & James, 07:13–07:25)

• Styling Connections

  • Shoutout to Emily Dawn Long, stylist for Emily Green of Geese, who shopped at EDL for their SNL debut (“maybe their biggest platform”). (05:53)
  • “Did you style her, or is Emily Green just a customer of EDL?” (05:24)

4. Pop Culture, Heat Tech, and “Heterosexual Poppers”

• Popper Adventures

  • “Menthol lip stuff—my heterosexual poppers…” (self-care essentials for travel and winter).
  • Anecdote: Giving someone poppers in Paris who “ripped it” and “my nose is on fire”—clarifying it’s more of a waft, not a direct inhale like a drug. In Thailand, “people walk around with it all day.” (09:01)
  • “Styling—let your belt dangle like a small penis…I let my nostril hang out like I got anal relapse.” (09:07)

• Heat Tech Mania

  • Pros: Keeps you warm (but not overheated), prevents overwashing.
  • “I’ve seen some memes about Heat Tech being too good at its job.” (10:04)
  • Lawrence jokes about being a "slutty German" if he skips Heat Tech in the New York winter.

5. Housekeeping and Scheduling Updates

• No guest episode next week due to last-minute cancellations.
  • “We had some cancellations…won’t name names, even though I think we did call one of them out on the pod.” (10:51)
  • Recounting a mis-scheduled guest who was in town but “no time for us…they’re no longer doing press.” (11:16)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “If I wasn’t wearing jeans right now I would look disgusting, but also as slutty as possible—lederhosen with the Tims.”
  (Lawrence, 02:05)

• “What is, like, the actual seediest part of Paris? Maybe the whole city?”
  (Lawrence, 04:58)

• “It is a brand called Dakota…The slogan is great…‘the good one is offered regardless of old or new clothes.’”
  (Lawrence & James, 07:13–07:25)

• “Styling—you let your belt dangle like a small penis, I let my nostril hang out like I got anal relapse of my nasal passage.”
  (James, 09:07)

• “Heat Tech isn’t only hot—that’s what’s great about it: it keeps you cool when you don’t need it, and warm when you do.”
  (James, 09:58)

Snow day. My snow day selfie showing the rig and got a lot of asks on Gator and I was like, wait, what is this? I bought it, I think in 2005. It's covered in, like, my stank.

[Host 1]

Well, no. Is it like Patchwork?

[Host 2]

Yeah, that's bought in 2005 from a store in Tokyo that is no longer around, called Napoleon Fish, which is the first, like, gorp store I remember really going to. That had a lot, like, wild things, a lot of nanga. And this brand I've never heard. I mean, I've never even looked at this because this was like, upcycle. This is patchwork. Upcycled before, like, upcycling was a thing.

That's not the brand. Dakota is.

[Host 2]

Dakota is the brand. Sick is that is the brand.

[Host 1]

Do we still know if Dakota's around? Can you buy these gators, like, tomorrow?

[Host 2]

I'm not going to Google Dakota. NASA Guam means something. There's a Japanese brand called NASA Guam. Oh, here it is.

[Host 1]

Fuck. So is the brand Nasing Guam?

[Advertiser 2]

Maybe?

[Host 1]

Yeah, that's how. That's when I looked at the tag. I'm like, the Nassim Guam is bigger than Dakota. So I'm just like that. That to me.

[Host 2]

Okay. Dakota, Nas and Guam. Nori did post five hours ago.

Got my menthol lip stuff, my heterosexual poppers, which someone's like, I tried some.

[Host 1]

Of those in Paris for the first time. It's pretty good. I've never.

[Host 2]

I gave to someone and they, like, ripped it and they're like, oh, my God, what did I just snort? I was like, yo, that's not a drug. You're just supposed to kind of like waft it under your nose. And they were like. I ripped it like it was a popper. Like, I snorted as hard as I could.

[Advertiser]

And.

[Host 2]

And they're like, my nose is on fire right now.

[Host 1]

You don't insert it into the nostril. You hold it. It's like a smelling salt.

[Host 2]

If you're. If you're in Thailand, people walk around like this.

[Host 1]

Really?

[Host 2]

Just all day, they're walking around like this.

[Host 1]

Yo, that's a. That's an. Except that's accessorized.

[Host 2]

It's called styling. You let your dick. You let your belt dangle like a small penis. I let my fucking nostril hang out like I got anal relapse of my fucking nasal passage.

[Host 1]

Are you just getting faded right now?

[Host 2]

No, it just feels great. I mean, I'm going to start crying soon.

[Host 1]

Okay. That's how my man's locked in. Hell yeah. Yeah.

[Host 1]

I believe you. And because you're aware I'm not. I've been seeing some memes about, like, I saw a meme or two about Heat Tech being, like, too good at its job and maybe like, oh, well.

[Host 2]

If you saw it on Twitter, bro, if you saw it on accident, it's got to be true.

[Host 1]

No, it wasn't the everything app. I think it might have been IG Anyway. Yeah, maybe I should invest in some heat tech so I'm not fucking out here like a slutty German. You know, in New York for vacation.
