  • Johnathan Fernandez in "Shop Talk"

    This week’s guest is Johnathan Fernandez, who you’ve seen as the

    stylish medical examiner Scorsese on Fox’s “Lethal Weapon” and as a
    stylish comedian at the UCB Theatre on both coasts.

    Johnathan talks about developing his own personal style, influencing

    Scorsese’s look, finding the watch that made him a watch guy, landing
    on a GQ worst-dressed list (!), and finding great looks at stores near
    you.

    You can follow Johnathan on Instagram at @jthanprime. Follow

  • Brady O'Callahan in "Well Suited"

    This week’s guest is Brady O’Callahan, a New York City comedian

    who also works in the fashion industry.

    Brady, who works at a custom tailor shop when he’s not performing at

    the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, drops a whole bunch of knowledge
    about developing your personal style and finding the right suit. Suits
    don’t have to be intimidating!

  • Bruce Sturgell in "Extended Universe"

    This week’s guest is Bruce Sturgell, founder of the website

    Chubstr.

    This is the tip-filled talk you’ve been waiting for, as Bruce and I

    get into the nitty-gritty of what it’s like to shop when most stores
    act like people your size don’t exist. Bruce is a great proponent for
    body diversity in clothing, and his 9 years running Chubstr has
    low-key revolutionized the menswear game. Like, Bruce is a Bonobos
    model now!

    Be sure to check out Chubstr on the web, Instagram, and

    Twitter. Follow @enlightenmyloafers on Instagram for show

  • Jared Harris in "Pryce of Style"

    This week’s guest is Jared Harris, a two-time Emmy nominee and an

    actor that exudes sartorial excellence onscreen and off. You’ve seen
    him on Mad Men, Chernobyl, The Terror, The Crown, and honestly too
    many other movies and TV shows to list. He, along with his character
    Lane Pryce, are two of my major inspirations!

    In this episode, I talk to Jared about what he learned about style

    from Mad Men, the surprising origin behind those suits on Chernobyl,
    and I even get to hear a story about his legendary father, Richard
    Harris. This is a special one, folks.

    Be sure to check out the Emmy-nominated Chernobyl on HBO and

    Jared’s upcoming Amazon series Carnival Row, debuting on
    August 30. Follow @enlightenmyloafers on Instagram for show
    notes, style inspo, and my response to Jared’s challenge.

  • Ad Butler in "The Swimsuit Issue"

    This week’s guest is Ad Butler, the founder and designer of the

    Australian swimwear brand Sluggers.

    It’s only Episode 2 and we’re already getting personal, as I dive into

    my own complicated history with swimwear. We love hanging out at the
    beach or the pool, but a lot of us struggle to find the confidence to
    wear what we want to wear and just relax! I talk to Ad about
    Australia’s take on swimwear, why he decided to launch his own line,
    and the basics of buying a swim brief.

    Be sure to check out Sluggers (I personally rock the Little

    Pricks print). Follow @enlightenmyloafers on Instagram for
    show notes and the responses to my swimwear challenge to all of you.

  • Jesse Thorn in "Fine Vintage"

    This week’s guest is Put This On founder Jesse Thorn. You also

    might recognize Jesse’s voice from his podcasts “Bullseye” and
    “Jordan, Jesse, Go!” as well as “Judge John Hodgman.”

    My talk with Jesse covers everything from his days as a

    boombox-carrying college kid to his lifelong passion for vintage
    clothing. We even tackle the big topics, like why men are culturally
    conditioned to not care about clothes.

    Be sure to check out Put This On and the Put This On

    shop. Follow @enlightenmyloafers on Instagram for show
