Jack Carlson on J. Press and Made in America

Blamo!

Show Notes

My guest this week is a returning one: Jack Carlson

Since his last appearance, Jack has taken on a major new role as President and Creative Director of J. Press — one of the most important names in American Ivy style.

We talk about stewarding a 100+ year-old brand, what J. Press is changing (and refusing to change), department store lore, and what it really means to make clothing in America today.
