The short answer to the title topic is yes, but the true answer, particularly for us is a bit nuanced. It requires a bit of context, leading us to talk about our lifestyles, income, and career aspirations. Once that's settled, we're able to talk about how we've acquired our wardrobe, which primarily leans on vintage and second hand clothing rather than luxury items. It's a great conversation that I hope you enjoy.

It's our long awaited take on watches, featuring the return of our own British-accented watch enthusiast pal, Aldous! After catching up on his menswear journey, we discuss horology: the culture, the designs we enjoy, and the few that we own and wear ourselves. It's a good one!

The next bonus episode is here and it features a very lengthy conversation about Drake's. It's really been an inspiration for our personal style and photography, but it has gone through a few changes and offerings over the years. This is just a snippet of our candid discussion on this beloved menswear brand!

In a world where navy blazers and grey sportcoats are touted as basics every man should own, there is one that stands out: the Brown Checked Jacket. This episode is all about that beloved jacket and its multitudes of variations, each with it's own character and vibe. The jacket goes with everything and is equally classic and slouchy, which is why we talked about it for an hour.

It's starting to get cold (kinda), so we thought it would be fun to discuss our favorite headwear that coincidentally starts with a "B"...and the fedora, I guess. We talk about their practicality, the vibe each one presents, and the ones we currently own.

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.
