In Conversation with Johnny Marr
New Video Editorial
From shaping the sound of a generation with The Smiths to carving out a singular and celebrated solo career, Johnny Marr’s influence stretches far beyond music.
For our latest Editorial, we sat down properly with Johnny — a longtime friend of Rivet & Hide — to talk about the evolution of Manchester’s subcultures, our mutual love of well-made things, and how he came to discover Rivet & Hide in our first few weeks of opening in Manchester.
Hit the link below to watch the full video — a conversation that spans decades of music, style, and culture, as told by someone who’s lived and breathed it all.

@Danny-RnH What a fabulous editorial! Johnny articulates so well our passions for well made clothing. I struggle sometimes to explain my own obsession with my Iron Heart denim, but Johnny’s statements on tribal traits, community and inclusion and most importantly the connection between the clothes we love and the music we love are bang on.
As he says, it’s definitely not a vanity thing; but the point made about the relevance of gangs is super interesting and something I can totally relate to! -
@Giles @tody @IH-GARY Thanks you for the comments and glad this has been of interest. It was a real pleasure making this film with Johnny. He suggested the idea, to support us after opening the new London store. It was very generous of him. Great guy.

@Danny-RnH I really liked his cultural, even subcultural approach. I guess that's what you'll get if you ask a musician. It was a lovely change from all the polished heritage guy know-it-all talk you get on youtube in other videos...
