As we get out of Black Friday but go full force into Holiday Sales, we thought it was pertinent to talk about how we buy clothes! This new pod ep goes into detail about how we research for clothing, how buying vintage and new differ, and whether keeping a list is important.

Keeping our "rule of cool" going with this newest ep, which is all about neckties! Spencer and Ethan briefly go over the history of the tie (shoutout to King Louis XIV), what their favorite ones are, to how you can pull them off in the modern day without being too dressed up. Don't forget to follow along with the show notes!

What makes something "cool"? Is it possible to apply that to classic menswear? Or is it all just old man clothes? Spencer and Ethan attempt to answer these questions and discuss the Rule of Cool, which simply states: that "if something is cool, people will like it; if it's not cool, people won't like it". It's a nebulous topic, but we do our best!

Classic menswear is borne from rules, but are they really all that important? Spencer and Ethan tackle the oft repeated rules, advice, and guidelines touted by youtubers and tailors alike, and how they really are meant to be broken if you are to achieve true personal style. Could be controversial, but it needs to be said!

When it comes to classic menswear it seems that most guys only focus on fit and price. But what about details? This episode, Spencer and Ethan dive deep into this frustrating phenomena and how attention to aesthetic details are necessary to have great style.

Better get your ties on, because it's time to talk about Gangster Squad. Spencer and Ethan discuss the campy 2013 film about how a group of cops took down Mickey Cohen and his gang back in 1949. Costumed by Mary Zophres, the style of the film is interesting; there are period accurate double breasted suits and ties, but a few liberties with the lapels and shirt collars. It's almost as much a throw back to the gangster films of the 90s as it is a send up of the ones from the 40s and 50s. Listen in as we analyze the menswear and some of our favorite cheesy quotes from this flick.

Ethan recounts his recent trip to Japan in this long episode. We tried to keep it brief, but we hope we delved deep enough into the variety of stores and styles in this fashionable country.
