My guests today are Diane and James Welstead, veterans of the garment industry and entrepreneurs of well-based leg comfort. We talk about how the garment business has changed over the past decades, offshoring production, how textiles have changed, the joy of actually crafting things, the relevance of stories in marketing and even take a moment to consider the case for synthetic fabrics. PS: This is probably the most ASMR episode so far! See notes for links!
