  • E45: Yung Chomsky, Menswear & The Left (Part 1)
    Woah, #TheSaDCast has it's first guest on in a couple of years! It's none other than our pal Yung Chomksy, the producer of the TrueAnon Podcast and a fellow menswear enthusiast. We brought him on to talk about his own menswear journey, how it aligns with his (and our) leftist politics, and how people of his political cohort (especially on twitter) view his attire. And that's only PART ONE of our discussion. Keep your ears open for the second part, which will cover deeper topics about the politics, leftism, and menswear intersect and affect us on a daily basis.

  • E44: On Milsurp & Military Clothing
    Military surplus is a fun way to add some spice to your wardrobe, and Spencer and I have been doing it for a while now! We discuss the appeal of Milsurp, our favorite pieces, and where we suggest you get them, all in this much-anticipated episode. Workwear is closely related, so maybe we'll have to do one on that too....

  • Bonus Preview: The 1950's Menswear in Back to the Future (1985)
    If you're reading this, then you're not a patron of our Patreon. But don't worry; here's a sneak peak of that exclusive bonus episode which focuses on the menswear in Back To The Future! It's one of our favorite films that actually has some great vintage style that isn't too costume-y. There's a lot to learn from this film other than you know, not messing with the space-time continuum. Regular mainline pods will still be every two weeks, so we're back to regular programming next week!

  • E43: Groovin' to the Late 60s-70s.
    I remember a time when we used to avoid any connotations to the 1970s. Now we love incorporating their vibes, whether it's by this decades elegant, sexy take on tailoring to the rugged mix-and-match approach to casual wear. We talk all about the late 1960s-1970s in this new pod and don't worry; it's as subversive as you think it is. But if you're anything like us, you'l to learn to appreciate it and even take some inspiration from the era into your own personal style!

  • E41: Talkin' J. Crew
    J. Crew has filed for bankruptcy. While that doesn't mean the store is going away for good, it inspired us to have a full discussion on the Brand! We trace its history from it's early catalogue/RL wanna-be days to its status as the mainstream's voice for #menswear, Americana, and heritage. Even though we don't always buy from it (especially as our tastes have changed), it still holds a place in our hearts. Perhaps this is a sign for how mainstream menswear/mall brands will fare in the future..
    Be on the look out for our Patreon, launching in June!

  • E40: The Lifestyle of Menswear Enthusiasts & Perceived Elitism
    In today's pod, Spencer and Ethan discuss the lifestyle of menswear enthusiasts, it's perceived elitism, and how we stack up to it! Do we dress to for an aspirational lifestyle? Is it self perpetuating? Or can clothes and lifestyle be independent? Is it elitist? Or simply intimidating by nature? It's a great conversation that is worth a listen.

  • E39: The Menswear in Sherlock Holmes(2009)
    We're positively SHERLOCKED this Quarantine! So we decided to watch and review the menswear not of the BBC verison, but the action-packed, Hans Zimmer heavy Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie from 2009. Its one of our favorite films and has a rather good interpretation of late Victorian menswear!
