Hell if we're not counting Wes Anderson flicks, it may be the best one in a while. We know it's a bit late but that's because our discussion coincides with Spencer's solo trip to Boston, which was semi-inspired by the third act of the film. We talk about what Spencer did, what he packed to brave the REAL cold, and of course the stellar ivy looks in The Holdovers.

Podcast is produced by MJ Kintanar2023-04-2222 minStyle and DirectionE103: The Importance of ExpressionIn this latest episode, Ethan takes Spencer and MJ through the book "Reflections on Musical Expression" by Peter Kivy which posits that expression is a valid method in evaluating and critiquing music through concepts of Contour and Convention. We extrapolate on that to say that making outfit is all about using the plethora of expressive details and either upholding or subverting them to create an outfit we like. To an intentional dresser, a good outfit isn't about being formal or about "proper" fit, but how accurate the outfit as whole is to the vision we have for ourselves!

TL;DR, we see everyday life as an Occasion. Every activity we do is an opportunity to dress up. This could mean wearing a nice fit to get dinner with a friend or even treating yourself to a solo coffee while you read. Overall, if you're doing something you enjoy, you should wear something you enjoy too! That’s not a waste.

The look comes from personal observation of the journalists he has interacted with professionally, famed journalists of the last century and of course, the image of the reporter that was created by Hollywood in films like “All the President’s Men” or “The Parallax View”. He also goes into how he co-opts elements of this style for his own dress. Overall, it's a look that seems to be equal parts ivy with workwear and milsurp, with a soupçon of slouchy professional attire.

The discussion talks about what type of advice people respond to, anecdotes about how we introduced our friends to specific pieces, and what seems to work in getting them to approach clothing in a personal rather way instead of being pragmatic. We honestly don't try too hard to get others into this...but it happens. Let's dive into why!

To us, taste is an extension of POV or just personal preferences. We tend to think of clothing as a creative endeavor which, along with the demise of dress codes, means that the only real guide is your subjective taste. It's good to hone in and know what you like, but at the end of the day, its still about what you like!

Style and DirectionE72: An Appreciation for Niche Vintage MenswearEthan and Spencer take a closer look at niche vintage, specifically at Golden Era pieces that don't really exist anymore. Some of them still resonate with us, like leisure jackets and belt backs. Others, like the Rah-Rah suit, are best left in the dust. You'll have to decide which of it is cool and which isn't!
At the very least, these pieces show a time where everything, from utility to fun, was present in "classic" menswear.

In this episode Spencer & Ethan go to their roots and talk about the beautiful menswear illustrations found in Apparel Arts. These slightly cartoon-ish figures contrasted with incredibly detailed clothing were quite formative in developing not only our taste but for learning just how creative vintage tailored style could be. We also discuss the concept of "The Esquire Man", which was pretty much the #menswear dude of the 1930s.

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.

It's a garment that menswear guys tend to avoid (since pants are more interesting), but with the right mindset, you can definitely embrace shorts in classic menswear. We start it by talking about the different styles of shorts there are and finish with how we like to wear them! They certainly are appropriate for anything we wear from workwear to ivy.

Do we dress to for an aspirational lifestyle? Is it self perpetuating? Or can clothes and lifestyle be independent? Is it elitist? Or simply intimidating by nature? It's a great conversation that is worth a listen.

We're starting the year off strong with an entire pod on shoes. We actually weren't into shoes until very recently, so it was worth a reflection. Ethan also goes into why he loves loafers as well as his journey from trying out multiple used pairs of Allen Edmonds to a gracious gift of Aldens from a friend that finally got him to understand that shoes are a big/worthwhile investment.
