Horsepower. This week, Jimmy and Larry are finally, and begrudgingly, back home to announce the return of Throwing Fits x 3sixteen Big Jeans—releasing next Thursday, November 5th in a brand new wash—before getting into successful vacation gift-giving, terminal jet lag, our on the ground reporting from Ralph Lauren's PoloFest and its big picture ramifications industrywide, controlling the secondhand market narrative before the secondhand market narrative controls you, a masterclass in merchandising, can an event like this ever work anywhere else and how drop culture has been exported globally from Japan to varying results, some beautiful only in Japan moments we'd be remiss not to share with the audience that include some final recs from our Tokyo trip, the concept of Japan A vs. Japan B, karaoke with Japanese guys is final boss level stuff, the strangest things we ate, playing with automatic beer machines, the jarring experience of landing back at JFK after being in a utopian society, what we are happy to come home to, what we'll miss the most, how Instagram brain can cockblock consumerism if you're not careful, and much more.
