Why Knitwear Doesn’t Last Anymore — with Ronnie Chiu of Colhay’s

This week on Blamo!, I’m joined by Ronnie Chiu, founder of Colhay’s.

Ronnie and I get into how inheriting his father’s sweater shaped his relationship to clothing — and how that personal history informs everything he does at Colhay’s today.

We talk about why knitwear doesn’t last like it used to, the importance of knit density, overwashing, handwashing, and why working with the same Scottish suppliers matters.

We also dig into intentional buying, sentimentality, raising kids, and what’s next for the brand — including a new line on the horizon.
