#132: Small Talk Studio

Nick and Phil from Small Talk Studio drop in to tell us about Kleman Padror shoes, High Valley Books, Collared Sweatshirts, Bean Bag Chairs, and more

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Small Talk Studio founders Nick Williams & Phil Ayers to come on Perfectly Imperfect & redistribute their good taste.

Small Talk Studio is a clothing line and design studio run by Nick Williams and Phil Ayers that’s known for their custom hand-drawn and embroidered pants, jackets, and shirts. Their style consists of detailed marker drawings sourced from old magazines, reference books, eBay listings, graphics almanacs, and good old fashioned google image searches. Small Talk is teaming up with Gitman Vintage on a project set to drop early next year, and Nick and Bijan from Intramural Shop are cooking up an illustrated apron to celebrate home chefs. Nick and Phil have great taste and lucky for us, they’re here to tell us what they’ve been into.
