The Marine Layer Shopping Experience

About this episode

Devin and Andy explore the shopping experience at Marine Layer, discussing various aspects of retail and product appeal.

Devin and Andy check out California casual clothing brand Marine Layer . How ‘bout that Nee-Doh shortage? (Note retail price for a classic Nice Cube is $5.99!) How satisfying is calling ahead to reserve something in a store? How much of the appeal of a hot toy, or a retro ski jacket, is about the quest? How nice should salespeople be, and where in a store visit should that niceness be concentrated? Where are we on matching sets for men? How soft does a shirt need to be? And did your girlfriend really throw away your favorite old tee?
