This new episode is Spencer's attempt to codify what he calls "reporter style". The look comes from personal observation of the journalists he has interacted with professionally, famed journalists of the last century and of course, the image of the reporter that was created by Hollywood in films like “All the President’s Men” or “The Parallax View”. He also goes into how he co-opts elements of this style for his own dress. Overall, it's a look that seems to be equal parts ivy with workwear and milsurp, with a soupçon of slouchy professional attire.

The first bonus of 2023 is all about The Sting (1973). We watch the beloved grift movie and cover its 70s-does-30s attire that actually looks pretty great. Its full of grey fedoras, sharp suits, and elegant tuxedos. That's all stuff we like!

In this episode, we discuss the Tangibility of our various menswear experiences on the pod and how it helped us in our journeys and how it assists in "evangelism". A "tangible experience" could mean anything, from trying something new at the store to just handling your clothes and carefully making outfits. Getting tangible is what connects you to your clothes and helps you figure out what you like. It's much better than just reading a blog on the internet (or even listening to a podcast).

The first pod of 2023 is here and it's all about menswear "evangelism" or how to get others into this little hobby. The discussion talks about what type of advice people respond to, anecdotes about how we introduced our friends to specific pieces, and what seems to work in getting them to approach clothing in a personal rather way instead of being pragmatic. We honestly don't try too hard to get others into this...but it happens. Let's dive into why!

The 1920s are back! In this bonus episode, the SaD Boys cover the attire in Damien Chazelle's Babylon. The outfits are meh and the film is...interesting, but its worth a watch if you just love the movies. We also talk about Avatar 2, which sounds random but if you see Babylon...you'll know why it makes sense. Ftxozä Kerìsmìsä Lefpom!

What does "Menswear as Hobby" mean to us? Fun! This hobby is not just about gathering inspo or collecting specific garments, it's ALL of it, culminating in putting together daily outfits wearing them out. We also discuss how menswear compares to our other activities and how fun will always be the higher priority when compared to practically covering our bodies. Yes, clothes are necessary. But we can have fun in picking those clothes!

Three fashion movies all released in close proximity? What a treat for Ethan and Spencer! This bonus pod covers some of the great film fits we've seen including the slouchy tied sweaters on Tar, the immaculate black tie in Amsterdam, and the contrasting American and British looks in See How They Run. They're all worth a watch, so try to see them before you listen to this pod.

Spencer and Ethan reflect and apply the framework provided in W. David Marx's new book: Status & Culture. It's not a proper book review, but the SaDBoys do get into it, sharing whether they agree on their own status, what they perceive benefits of high status to be, and how the internet and monoculture are setting back culture. Don't worry, we (along with Marx) have our own solutions! We recommend reading the book before listening. It'll make more sense!

Our friend Doug is the next guest on the podcast! Not only is he an actor famous for his Amazon and Liberty Mutual spots, but he's one of the most stylish guys we know. Doug's knowledge from collecting(and selling) vintage Americana was obviously quite formative for our style, and so we had to have him on. We discuss his predilection for minimalism, how being a vintage seller had an effect on his style, and how he mixes vintage, Americana, and designer clothing in a way that is personal to him.

We’re posting the Bonus early so you can hear all about Ethan’s NYC trip! He tells us about the cool shops he went to, the Patreon dinner, and what he ended up bringing home. We also get to discuss the mid century style of Don’t Worry Darling (and its bizarre plot).
