For those of you who are interested in how military clothes and surplus changed American and global fashion, listen to @trufelman.bsky.social's podcast series "Articles of Interest: Gear." There are 6 more chapters plus and epilogue.

Every time I meet someone from Indiana I get so excited because Indiana and Hawaii are the only two US states with a bonafide regional clothing item.
And now at LAST a book about senior cords! And better yet, its written, designed, and printed in Indiana. www.commercialarticle.com/product/comm...
thank you! this is one of my favorite stories ever <3
Always wondered how an "Indian" pattern came to be called "Paisley". Then I saw a sign to Paisley outside Glasgow airport, and things started to click. But I didn't look too deep, and now don't need to, because the amazing @trufelman.bsky.social got on it.

The Articles of Interest series "Gear" has a terrific Chapter 2 ep describing how the venerable M43 army jacket came to be.
It also details efforts to deny the facts, and is more reason to think critically about Eisenhower's record.

The latest episode of @trufelman.bsky.social Avery Trufelman’s always-excellent podcast Articles of Interest should be of particular interest to comics people. They go into real depth on Dan Decarlo’s & Archie Comics’s long history as fashion influencers.

right??? I think they... impacted us all a LOT!
Betty & Veronica-- as much as Barbie, as much as any magazine-- influenced generations of fashionable dressers.
The new episode of Articles of Interest explains why.

"MultiCam is so ubiquitous that you can buy a camping chair or baby carrier in the camouflage pattern. Arc’teryx and Outdoor Research make jackets in MultiCam."

truly an honor to finally have you on, Elizabeth!
I got to talk about my favorite designer with my favorite podcaster. 🥂
This was a particularly fantastic episode of the always incredible Articles of Interest
When we say no war but class war we mean that no one in Iran is poisoning our water or stealing our wages or kidnapping our neighbors. And the people who are? They're spending our money on killing Iranians
