Gone Fishing Vintage: Seb Dixon on Building a Cult Shop, Sourcing Stone Island in Italy & Manc Style

On this week’s episode, I’m chatting to Seb Dixon from Gone Fishing Vintage. Gone Fishing sells tons of nice stuff, specialising in vintage Italian designer clothes. If you’ve ever walked down Oldham Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, you’ve probably seen it. Seb’s a top fella with a proper passion and care for what he does and I’m buzzing for you lot to hear more about Gone Fishing and where Seb’s deep interest in Garms came from.

We get into:
– How he risked it all flying to Naples to meet a guy off eBay
– The early days of car boots and charity shop runs
– What makes good vintage (and why some trends don’t hit)
– Community, chaos, and cold showers
– And loads of personal gems about finding style and turning it into a business
