Rhinestone Nudie Suits and the Queering of Country Music

They're sparkly, they're colorful, they bear images of palm trees and wagon wheels - so why were they worn by dudes who claim to be more interested in race cars than music? Hope and Jackie dissect the meaning of Nudie Suits, sewn for country music stars in the 1940s by Southern California immigrant tailors, before country music turned its back on camp. The story of country music and its dress is one of working class branding, evolving masculine identities, and yes, Orville Peck (though we ALMOST forgot to bring him up.) Go on, get to listenin'!
