The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 229: A Conversation with Wesley Smith, founder of Standard H

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara are joined by Wesley Smith, founder of apparel brand Standard H. Smith has been running Standard H since 2015, and describes it as “elevated casual for the discerning car and watch lover.” In this episode, you’ll hear about the beginnings of the Standard H brand, a sneak peak at what’s in store for the future, and how the watch and automotive worlds inevitably collide. Fair warning, there’s a lot of car talk in this one, including Wesley’s modding strategy on his own GTI (and how it relates to watches), and even a little F1 preview.
