Duane shares stories of discovering Japanese pattern books, learning through online sewing communities, and eventually attending the prestigious Tailoring Academy in the UK later in life. He talks about the joy — and challenge — of crafting garments by hand, sourcing exquisite fabrics, building client relationships, and preparing a collection for an upcoming runway show. It’s a warm, inspiring conversation about creativity, craftsmanship, and the meaning we find in the things we choose to make.","meta_description":"In this episode of Garmology, Nick sits down with Maine-based bespoke tailor Duane MacLeod to explore his unlikely path from DIY maker and registered nurs…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":7020,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/garmology-a-podcast-about-clothes-and-stuff-931098/episodes/the-late-blooming-tailor-with-duane-macleod-of-holdfast-bespoke-164/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/garmology-a-podcast-about-clothes-and-stuff-931098/the-late-blooming-tailor-with-duane-macleod-of-holdfast-bespoke-164.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
