Issues with Soft Tailoring and On Menswear Storage
Old Ethan, My Style Evolution, and The Journey to Being Myself
A big part of this blog is being intentional about the menswear aesthetic you want. My issue early on was that I didn’t know what aesthetic I wanted. In short, I didn’t even know what being “Ethan” meant.
Read on and enjoy the podcast episode about how long and anxiety-inducing this path was for me (and Spencer).
And if you’re wondering, yes, that first picture is supposed to be cringe.
Introducing the #TheSaDCast Stream and My New Aldens and Black Fedora
The Bottom Button-Pocket Line Harmony
It’s time to finally write a full essay on what is perhaps the most important detail I pay attention to in menswear and how use it as a basis for purchases and commissions.
That detail is the Harmony that exists between a bottom button and a pocket line on the same horizontal plane.

What I’ve Worn On My Birthday
Happy Birthday to me! It’s okay if you didn’t get me anything, since I actually have something to give to you: a deep dive into what I’ve worn when celebrating my annual trip around the sun.
SadCast Show Notes: The Big AMA
This is it, our big AMA episode! We answer your questions like how we dress in hot weather, if vintage style will ever die, and what the heck do we have as our phone lock screens!
Today also marks the launch of our Patreon and Discord! There are some big things coming in the future.
SadCast Show Notes: On J. Crew
J. Crew has filed for bankruptcy. While that doesn’t mean the store is going away for good, it inspired us to have a full discussion on the Brand! We trace its history from it’s early catalogue/RL wanna-be days to its status as the mainstream’s voice for #menswear, Americana, and heritage.
Even though we don’t always buy from it (especially as our tastes have changed), it still holds a place in our hearts. Perhaps this is a sign for how mainstream menswear/mall brands will fare in the future..
SadCast Show Notes: The Lifestyle of Menswear Enthusiasts & Perceived Elitism
