Bean, Pearl Izumi, and Land’s End—but she’d much rather talk about her vintage collection.We get into how she got started in design, the wild rise of GORP-core, what it means to be a fashion brand without really calling yourself one, and her deep love of thrifting. We also talk about why Outdoor Research has such a huge following in Japan.It’s a fun ride—full of gear talk, cultural crossover, and a few solid parenting hacks thrown in for good measure.*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch
