And we want to have a conversation with them, we're always like, you know, booking. And as Keith made very clear, we did invite him, which to me was like, all right, bro.

[Jimmy]

Nice. Blue.

[Larry]

Yeah, I have a. A long sleeve as well. That's like the kind of inverse of like this stitching blue with then, like, the contrast is this blue.

[Jimmy]

I didn't see that.

[Libsyn Ads Representative]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Yeah. Honestly, bro, people I know Gorp is like kind of. I don't know if it's over. Like, it's always going to have functionality and, like, there's people that think it looks cool. Mountain Hardware just never Gets the love that I feel like it deserves. This was huge. When I went to college, that was like, Patagonia.

[Podcast Host]

Sure.

[Larry]

But, like, Mountain Hardware was like the. More like if, you know, you know, hard wear.

[Jimmy]

W E A R. That's it.

[Larry]

Oh, I get it. Best logo in the game.

[Jimmy]

It's a nut.

[Larry]

A nut, dude. Just a nut.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. I got a hardware puffer, big orange puffer that I wear on the weekends. I think I wore it on the pod one time. Warm as hell, boy. Too warm for today.

[Larry]

Yeah. I guess my thing is that, like, okay, sure, they do, like, cool collabs now. It's doosy, but, like, I could go on the Mountain Hardware website and, like, build a fire fit.

[Jimmy]

I play tennis in Mountain Hardware.

[Larry]

Oh, because they have the workout gear, like the.

[Jimmy]

Like the sweat wicking, moisture wicking.

[Larry]

Is that. That's for climbing, right? Presumably.

[Jimmy]

I. I think it's just for high alpine life.

[Larry]

Just activity above the. I think it's more for, like, horizon.

[Jimmy]

It's more for hiking, climbing.

[Larry]

Oh, sure. Right, right, right.

[Podcast Host]

Or.

[Jimmy]

Or even running.

[Larry]

Any activity on mountains. Running trails. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Trail running. That's what it's for.

[Larry]

Gotcha. The puffer is Haven Nanga. Am I saying that right?

[Libsyn Ads Representative]

Yep.

[Larry]

You gave me a nice little lesson. Maybe I believe in the past, maybe in the future.

[Jimmy]

You know what's nice is that it doesn't have. Because most Nanga jackets have the logo in a contrast color. At like the. At like the belly button.

[Larry]

Nah, this clean, brother.

[Jimmy]

Which is nice that this doesn't have that, but it has, like, a. Well, what is this? Oh, this is like a little.

[Larry]

Yeah. Multiple pockets. It's on the other side, too. It's like a hidden.

[Libsyn Ads Representative]

It has.

[Jimmy]

I feel like Naga has a signature bubble pattern.

[Larry]

No, I think this was. That this, like, diamond is, like. Was specific to the Haven collab, which is. Which is dope. Yeah, dude.

[Jimmy]

I don't.

[Larry]

Nanga is fire. Which is why, like, 18s collabs them. Haven collapsed with them other people. I'm not.

[Jimmy]

My brother was just in Japan and got a Nanga piece for both him and his son.

[Larry]

I. That's. Oh, like, matching.

[Jimmy]

Not matching. Okay. But I don't know. Put your kid in Nanga.

[Larry]

Is that. I wonder what they're speaking of, like, mountain hardware and buying mainline. I wonder what the GR Nonga is, like, just like, their brand. Like, just. I only really know of them from their fashion collabs or their menswear collabs, but if it's anything like this piece, I'm Sure. It's great. Check it out, Fens. The hat is bootleg, a press, a courtesy event space, and the underwear are Supreme Hanes boxer briefs. James, what do you wear today?

[Jimmy]

Naga's kind of expensive.

[Larry]

Oh, I wasn't thinking that it was cheap. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Even though it is, you just buy.

[Larry]

It on the in the U.S. right?

[Jimmy]

I am not sure. Okay. I'm wearing Studio Nicholson shoes purchased on the Real Real.

[Larry]

Wait, those were someone else's?

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Who owned these?

[Jimmy]

I don't know. Some. Some person who didn't know what they were holding on to because I really like these.

[Larry]

That's a random. That's a great brand that obviously we love. That's surprising that it's on the real World. You got to come up.

[Jimmy]

You'd be surprised that I'll. I'll have like orally. Our legacy Student Nicholson Levee men's shoes. Just keep my eye out for some loafers on Real Real. But yeah, Student Nicholson, I guess. I mean, you're not gonna like see it on grailed, right? I guess you would.

[Larry]

I don't know. I feel like. Well, we were looking at trying to find Keith's stuff on Grail just to see like what resale was. And like my thing is that like, listen, if the brand is great and it's not like a distressed seller, people are not reselling their awesome Henry's or Studio Nicholson.

[Libsyn Ads Representative]

Right.

[Larry]

And the real real, like, they have so many pricing mistakes and like, who knows what gems are on there. Just waiting for someone to. Well, it's not a scoop up.

[Jimmy]

It's styled like absolute dog.

[Larry]

So it's so funny.

[Jimmy]

So, like, I think a lot of people pass on good things because they're just looking at what is presented to them, not like understanding this looks like what the garment is.

[Larry]

Ye.
