Smelling of Wax and Wilderness - Outerwear with Ben Fogle (#156)
This week on Garmology, we’re going on an adventure — without leaving the wardrobe.
TV adventurer, explorer, and all-round outdoorsman Ben Fogle joins Nick for a deep dive into his love of outerwear, heritage design, and the gear that’s travelled with him from Antarctica to Everest. From waxed Barbours and wool Guernseys to modern technical kit, Ben shares what really works when the temperature drops (and why some of the best expedition gear still smells like it’s been somewhere wild).
We talk about his “accidental” journey into adventure, how he ended up buying the legendary Buffalo Systems, the future of British-made outdoor wear, and why timeless design still beats fast fashion — even at -40°C.
A funny, warm, and surprisingly geeky two-hour chat about jackets, journeys, and joy in the details.
