Show Notes
This week on Blamo!, I’m joined by Greg Jackson, founder of Greg Laboratory.
Greg’s path runs from growing up in D.C. to Detroit, from BAPE and Dunks to a serious run at Nike, where he learned firsthand what it takes to build product at the highest level. We talk about what he took from Nike (and why he left), launching Greg Laboratory, making things in New York, the art of refinement, and why a pocket might matter more than you think.
There’s Jay-Z, bespoke tailoring, Mexico, and the strange tension of making clothes that might be… too nice to wear.
