E123: On Outfit Feedback, Critique, and Advice
In this pod, the SaD Boys discuss how we frame giving menswear feedback, advice, and critique! We go into how important it is for Askers to set intentional goals, how Advice Givers should function as guides and help guide the conversation, and how we should all focus on building Awareness and experience to help achieve a POV. Because in the end, how else are we supposed to separate the good advice from the bad?

B48 PREVIEW: The Menswear in Public Enemies (2009)
We cover the actually-pretty great menswear in Michael Mann's 2009 film, Public Enemies! The outfits are quite spectacular and certainly period accurate— everyone gets to wear a double breasted suit, spearpoint collar, a big coat, and a fedora. It's so good!
We also briefly share some thoughts about the most recent Met Gala (I know we're late). Listen to a clip now or subscribe on Patreon for the full episode!

E122: On Menswear Revivals & Nostalgia
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.

B47 PREVIEW: The Menswear of Paper Moon (1974)
In the latest bonus pod, the boys discuss Peter Bogdanovich's 30s send up to 30's road comedies: Paper Moon (1974)! It may have been made in the 70s but by golly, it looks like its straight out of 1938. Even the clothes are spot on! Ethan also shares his experience on the red carpet and watching Pulp Fiction at the TCL Chinese theater.

E121: Going Back To The 80s (The 1980s & The 1580s)
The boys take a respite from faux-philosophical menswear topics to talk about two events where they went to the 80s...the 1980s and the 1580s to be exact! Spencer, MJ, and Ethan recount their misadventures at James's Birthday and the Renaissance Faire, getting into how they made their outfits and what the rest of the style scene was like. At the end of the day, this is what its all about: making fun fits to have fun with friends!

E120: Picking The "Right" Shoes For An Outfit
How do you pick the “right” shoe for an outfit? Is it about formality? Color? Or the subculture or genre we’re trying to play up? We discuss it all on the latest episode of the podcast, going into our favorite pairs and even the little footwear rules and guidelines we give ourselves that ultimately play a part in our Personal Style.
