Our newest episode is a reflection on our custom menswear commissions...so far. We talk about the few brands we've tried (ranging from MTO to bespoke), what our advice is for guys around our age, and what tailors we dream of commissioning from! As a costly investment in money and time, you better be sure that you like what you order.

#TheSaDCast comes in with a discussion about the relationship between music and menswear. Lots of guys take inspiration from musicians, whether its the slick edge of rock to the rugged Americana of folk. However, Ethan has a special relationship with music that you'll have to listen to in order to find out. He even wrote a special version of the main theme just for this episode!

In this episode, Spencer and Ethan discuss why they hate "stuffiness" (as stated in the podcast motto) and why "slouch" is their go-to word when describing their take on menswear. Slouch involves a lot, from the silhouette of tailoring to the attitude you have when you wear it. This really just means subverting expectations and a lot of #pocketfisting.

Spencer and Ethan discuss the importance of having a POV and desired aesthetic when it comes to menswear! It's an important mindset to develop if you're just starting out or trying to hone in your interests. They also discuss all the style idiosyncrasies of their POV that resulted from years of vintage collecting.

The boys spend an hour discussion different ways to keep that (trouser) waist snatched! They discuss the excellent drape you get from braces, how side adjusters keep the waistband clean, and the personality and mid-century charm of a thin belt (which is our favorite).

We're finishing off the year with a topic that we've teased about in previous episodes: Influencers. It's a big one, as I'm sure a lot of people have wondered what our goals and views are for social media. Here's the secret: we don't really care. We just want to post fits and cool photos whenever we want!
