In this new episode, the SaD boys introspect on "cool" and what makes things "cool" to us! We look into why we are drawn to certain garments and details, as well as how much other people's opinions affect what we like, as well as how much the mainstream plays into our enjoyment of things. In the end, it's about what we like. And we think what we like is cool!

This next episode is about eyewear and how they play into outfits. Sunglasses always have an instant cool factor, bringing in attitude when you put them on to get shade from the sun, Eyeglasses on the other hand are worn before your clothes, so they give additional context to the wearer's "base" while providing personality, much like a hairstyle or facial hair!

Robert Altman's The Player is the subject of the latest bonus episode! It's a fun movie that feels like its trying to evoke that 40s/50s Hollywood exec feel through the Yuppie looks of the early 90s. It's not a period piece, but it feels like it!

Spencer, MJ, and Ethan discuss the idea of standing out in classic menswear and how they grew to embrace it, since it happens naturally! We talk about our past mistakes, how we know when to be bold or lowkey, and perhaps most important of all, we celebrate the friends that showed us that it's fun to embrace standing out.

Our breasts are doubled in this newest pod, which all about why we love the DB! Spencer and Ethan discuss it all, from the drama of its wide lapels and over lapping closure to how easy it is to throw on since it's the closest a sportcoat can get to evoking outerwear. Whether its with a tie or without or with a dress trouser or a casual pant, the DB is amazing.

Ethan, Spencer, and MJ talk about the film Ford v Ferrari in the new bonus episode! Even though it's a car movie (and they aren't car guys), there is still a lot of menswear to enjoy, from the use of black cowboy hats and racer workwear to having the best sunglasses game in a movie.
