Ethan & Spencer talk about one of the preppiest things imaginable: the Navy Blazer with Brass Buttons. It's something that seems daunting and perhaps specific, but it's actually quite versatile- you just need to lean into the vibes or subvert it completely. Listen to us talk about the SB and DB versions, how we wear it, and the fact that it's currently "trending" in classic menswear!

Today we're discussing a topic Ethan wrote about in the past: the wide legged trouser. It's something that a majority of guys have an issue with, whether its done casually or within tailoring. We argue that it's one of the best ways to pull off classic menswear, as it provides a slouchy, louche silhouette that subverts conventional men's style.

This is our last movie style review pod for a while! You can hear the full episode on our patreon.

Ethan and Spencer discuss Giorgio Armani's vision of 1930's menswear in Brian De Palma's 1987 flick "The Untouchables". Unfortunately, like most other period films, the costuming leaves a lot to be desired. It's also not the best film, but its quite campy- it's pretty much the original Gangster Squad!

#TheSaDCast has made it to 50 episodes! To celebrate, Ethan shares his style evolution and how his multiple interests lead to some personality anxiety that really only dissipated recently. It's all apart of the journey to self conscious to dress like the person he had always imagined. Spencer also adds to the subject as well, though obviously, like Raj before him, he had a better handle on it.

Today we're talking about sneakers on the pod! It's a subject that like shorts, can be a bit touchy for hardcore classic menswear guys who prefer to wear more formal pieces. However, as you will soon discover, sneakers are cool! Spencer & Ethan discuss the different vibes of sneakers in classic menswear, what their favorites are, and what they wear them with.

Here's a sneak peek of our Patron exclusive bonus episode! Full episode available to our Patrons (as well as our Discord).

The subject is Connery's fifth (but not final) Bond flick: You Only Live Twice. It's a fun movie that is Ethan's favorite, despite not having very much menswear. We still talk about the outfits we do see, as well as some snippets about the film, it's score, and Bond in general.

Ethan preaches the gospel of the Button-Pocket Harmony, a detail he loves where the final button on the jacket is on nearly the same horizontal plane as the pocket. It's something that has guided his purchases since he started buying menswear! The boys talk about why its an important detail, not just for visual proportions, but because it's good to have standards when buying. In the latter half, Ethan and Spencer talk about other dealbreakers that prevent them from buying everything they see.

In this episode, Ethan and Spencer talk about shorts! It's a garment that menswear guys tend to avoid (since pants are more interesting), but with the right mindset, you can definitely embrace shorts in classic menswear. We start it by talking about the different styles of shorts there are and finish with how we like to wear them! They certainly are appropriate for anything we wear from workwear to ivy.

It's here- the Second Part of our interview and discussion with Yung Chomsky, the producer of the TrueAnon podcast and an ardent menswear enthusiast. This time we drill down on a few heavy topics like the Aesthetics of a Left Movement, Reclaiming/Decontextualizing Classic Menswear, and of course, Ethical Consumption under Capitalism. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did; it was really important for me to share these beliefs with you guys!
