In this funny, heartfelt and moving docuseries, real people unpack the fascinating and quirky stories around their most meaningful pieces of clothing. Clothes are more than just pieces of stitched up material that covers our naked bodies. They can tell stories about our lives, identities, and cultures and could even be passed down generations, a physical memory of family connection.
Each episode's stories are curated according to a theme, like growing up, new beginnings, survival and lost and found. Some of the tales are quick, while others are more fleshed out, either through a glimpse into the storytellers' lives or through unique animation produced in various styles. Unironically, the first story is about the absence of clothes as the series takes a tour of a nudist community and the negative association with wearing clothes.
You will laugh, be puzzled and shed a few tears over and over again with tales that might hit a little too close to home from shockingly real people. A gay man recounts his aerobics days during the height of the Aids pandemic through a pair of spandex shorts. A survivor from the Miracle on Hudson crash talks about how he hasn't worn the boots he wore on that fateful day ever again. Two cousins laugh about a wild story to recover a stolen coat that brought them closer together.
For a docuseries, the way these tales are woven together is fresh and different to others, focusing on bright colours and the stories' fun. The filmmakers, including the original writer Spivack, rightly spent the time to source just the right type of interviewees, hanging on their every word. Not a single story was boring, contrived or pretentious.
