Spencer and Ethan discuss one of the most iconic shirt details to ever exist:  the button-down collar. The episode goes into the collar’s history, it’s inherent ivy nod, and how a soft roll helps it go with literally everything in a guy’s closet!  We also dive into what makes a great collar and the different ones we've owned, from contemporary makers to vintage pieces.

E64:  The Soft Rolls of the OCBD & Button Down Collar

Classic menswear looks good, but is it practical? Spencer and Ethan say it is, especially in a regular-life context. We discuss how we make menswear work in our daily activities, from using a sportcoat practically to ensuring we have the right fabrics for our SoCal climate.  We also share some of our most practical menswear garments!

E68: Dressing with Authenticity

We're starting 2022 off with an episode on proportions and silhouette- two big topics that factor heavily with the nuance and details in tailoring! We certainly have our preferences but at the end of the day, it's all about finding the right proportions not just for your body, but for your intended aesthetic.

E80: On Proportion & Silhouette

In this next episode, the SaDBoys critically examine how they buy things, or at least as critically as they can. How many of our purchases were inspired by social media? How many purchases are made on impulse, whether on eBay or in person at the flea market? Are many of these things upgrades or replacements of things we already own or are they "newly found" interests? The episode provides insight not only into our buying process but how we engage with and participate with menswear in general.

E109: How We Buy Clothes

Outerwear, specifically big coats, is the topic for the latest pod! Big outerwear is one of the best reasons (and benefits) to wear menswear as it changes the vibe of an outfit, literally swallowing it up in cloth and providing some extra slouch or structure, depending on what style you go with. We discuss it all, especially the fact that we love Big Outerwear despite living in Southern California.

E117:  The Drama of Big Outerwear

Dating Attire is the topic of discussion! We talk about the "struggle" of wearing classic menswear when we go out, what we think we look good in, and the reception we've gotten from our matches and partners. It's a fun topic, mainly because we are fully aware of the fact that suits and ties aren't the most ideal thing to wear when trying to impress someone. Hell, it may not even be great to wear even when you're already in a relationship! But we're gonna do it anyway ;)

E120:  Picking The "Right" Shoes For An Outfit

When you look at the long history of menswear, it seems that everything comes back: flared jeans, wide leg pants, double breasted jackets, western wear. In this latest episode, Spencer, Ethan, and MJ discuss how menswear goes through its cycles of Revival, how its helpful to understand eras of clothing, and how these Revivals always augment the details instead of being a verbatim copy. We also dive into culture's obsession with Nostalgia and the role it plays in "selecting" what gets revived.

The SaD boys answer these questions as they discuss Dan Fox's incredible essay:  Pretentiousness & Why It Matters all in the latest podcast.  Spoiler alert by the end of it, you may just end up thinking that being Pretentious is a good thing and should even be celebrated!

It could be replicating an outfit you saw online, being enamored with a combo in a painting, or trying to capture the vibe of a photograph. We also discuss how Ethan is obsessed with Inspo and how it plays into his neverending backlog of outfit ideas.

It's a garment oozes confidence and power thanks to its history of being worn by businessmen, criminals, and myriad of well dressed men over the years. Spencer and Ethan share their own takes on this iconic pattern as they get into its attitude, how you can subvert the vibes, and the different variations they've worn during their menswear tenure!

E127:  Ode To The Pinstripe & Chalkstripe Suit

This is Part 1 of our two part series on Indiana Jones, with this one focusing specifically on the adventuring archaeologist. We LOVE this franchise as its a fantastic example of character based costuming, with each detail sharing something about the person as well as the era it is set in.  The SaDBoys dive deep on everything Indy wears, from his crazy big sable fedora and his A-2 leather jacket to his penchant for bowties and fleck suits.  We also compare his attire to period examples like Golden Age adventure films as well as regular people in the 1930s-1950s who wore leather jackets and fedoras. It's a great episode that we hope you'll enjoy!

Part 2 of our coverage of Indiana Jones is here! It's clear that Indy isn't the only well dressed character in the franchise! There's a whole slew of great outfits to be found, like the ivy of his father Dr. Henry Jones Sr., the greaser look on his son Mutt (ripped from Marlon Brando), and of course Sallah's summer tailoring. We discuss all of the non-Indy Vintage Menswear found in this beloved franchise, ranging from his intrepid sidekicks to the relic seeking adversaries. Clothing is clearly a major reason behind why we love this series!

It's a new year and that means a new format! Instead of big philosophical discussions, we're getting a bit more casual on the pod. MJ talks about his recent obsession with jeans while Spencer shares how he's taking a break from them. Ethan also talks about jeans (dying them), his short work trip to is NYC trip, and how he's embracing a bit of trouser break by lengthening all of his pants!

In this episode We chat about Ethan’s Ren Faire Outfit (and his glorious riding boots), discussing whether jeans+leather shoes or sneakers+trousers is more casual, and a big discussion on Bangers.

Should every outfit be a Banger? Does it help to have Banger items (and what makes it a Banger piece)? Does a fit need to hit with the zeitgeist or be easily digestible to be a Banger? How much of this should be about what we *personally* think of as Bangers? Can they just “hit different” to us? Let us know your thoughts!

The spearpoint collar, a rakish detail that immediately harkens to vintage style.  It's one of our favorite collars, so we decided to dedicate an episode to it's history, how we wear it, and where to get them!

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.

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!

E52:   The Navy Blazer with Brass Buttons

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.
