Your mind is the scene of the crime...and of surprisingly great menswear! In the latest bonus pod, the SaDBoys dive into Jeffrey Kurland's costuming for Inception. Even though it's a modern film, Inception has great style. Everyone is dressed in tailoring, with a style that leans elegant and sharp. It's pre-minimalist, pre-skinny corporate attire— perfect for a team of professional Extractors! There's peak lapel suits, silver ties, and a healthy dose of French cuffs; there's even a moment for cargos and 70s-does-40s leather jackets! Who knew that this film would be a source of inspo?

New pod alert! Spencer, Ethan, and MJ get into it in this ep, talking about the Lee 101J, getting dressed up in plaid to eat prime rib, and comparing rental tuxes to Suit Supply MTM for Scott's Wedding. OH— Jason Sandagon of Mad King George also came to town and hosted a little trunk show. He's not on the pod, but we do spend a lot of time talking about what he's been up to on his side of the pond.

In this latest pod, Spencer, Ethan, and MJ talk about their latest Bronson orders (Ethan and MJ's first time!). We then recount when our friend Brooks came to town and not only played Call of Cthuhlu with us, but DM-ed a D&D campaign that he wrote (and got published!). Finally, Ethan talks about how he's come full circle to wearing suspenders again. Thank God he didn't get rid of his Darcy braces— they're quite good!

B63 PREVIEW: The Menswear in North by Northwest (1959)
The bonus pod is here and it's all about the menswear in North By Northwest (1959)! Spencer, Ethan, and MJ talk about this whirlwind of a film— and the iconic grey suit (with white shirt and grey tie) worn by Cary Grant as Roger Thornhill (or is it George Kaplan?). It's truly the star of the film, going through a drunk drive, being framed for murder, and being run down by a crop duster (who also had a gun, people forget that)! Not only that, but it gets sponged and pressed in 20 minutes. Hitchcock's thriller is full of great style and a lot of grey suits with solid ties. We discuss it all in this pod!

New pod alert! It's a fun and caz ep, where the guys talk about visiting the Beams Pop-up (we wish it was Beams+), Moonstar Shoes, and going to a wholesome bachelor party in San Diego. OH and Ethan finally shares his Suit Supply MTM experience, going into extensive detail on how a slim fitting garment became the slouchy, wide legged beauty that he's been wearing quite often.

In honor of the film's 50th Birthday, Spencer, Ethan, and MJ discuss Jaws on the latest bonus pod! It's one of our favorite movies of all time and its absolutely dripping with style. We talk about Hooper's denim and beanie, the milsurp/workwear of Quint, and of course, Chief Brody's simple navy and khaki "uniform".

E142: Celebrating Ethan's 30th Birthday
Ethan turned 30 and partied for an entire month! What a narcissist. In the latest pod, the boys talk about how they dressed for the various celebrations that Ethan celebrated this milestone birthday: dinner at a Polynesian-themed restaurant, going to Disneyland in riding boots, going black tie for an escape room (and drinks at 4100), and finally, a big Great Gatsby-themed house party. Because what could be more "Ethan" than giving yourself prompts to dress for?

B61 PREVIEW: The Menswear In The Phoenician Scheme (2025)
I, myself, feel very safe! On the latest episode of the bonus pod, Spencer, Ethan, and MJ talk about Wes Anderson's latest flick The Phoenician Scheme. In all honesty, it should really be called "Pinstripe Suits: The Movie". We mean that quite affectionately because all of it looks so damn good! It's his best dressed (and most sartorial) film thus far. You can listen to a preview now, but you'll have to subscribe on Patreon for the full episode!

B60 PREVIEW: The Menswear In Sinners (2025)
Let us in! The newest bonus episode has the SaDBoys delve into the expertly done Depression Era menswear in Ryan Coogler's Sinners. Not only is it largely accurate, but it's incredibly character-driven, making each outfit signal something about who's wearing it. And to our Vintage Menswear-pilled delight, Sinner's costuming also has a handful of niche vintage details that you don't really see in period films.

E140: An Ode to The Navy Suit
The SaDBoys finally have a whole episode dedicated to the Navy Suit! It's certainly the first suit you should own, but it's more than just a basic or default. A Navy Suit has its own unique charm, one celebrates your personality without overpowering it. It pairs well with a brocade tie or your favorite merch tee shirt, all while exuding a quiet gravitas. It's not as slouchy as a brown suit nor as austere as grey. A Navy Suit is its own thing— and we LOVE it! Platonically, of course.

E138: Ren Faire 2025, Who Was More Formal, and Thoughts on Banger Outfits
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!
