In this episode, we're joined by the authors of Mountain Style: British Outdoor Clothing 1953-2000 to dig into the fascinating journey behind their book. We explore how the project came together, the role of class in shaping outdoor fashion, and how technical mountain wear made the unlikely leap from rugged trails to football terraces. It's a deep dive into subcultures, style, and the surprising intersections of fashion, function, and identity.
