On Slouch & Stuffiness

Posted on February 7, 2021 by Ethan

Let’s dive into my favorite word to describe my approach to menswear and why I think it’s actively good to avoid being stuffy.

The Conscious and Somber Decision of Solid Jacketing

Posted on January 31, 2021 by Ethan

I don’t typically do New Year’s Resolutions (because I can never keep or remember them anyway), but one thing I have been doing is letting my checked jackets rest in favor of solid jackets and suits.

I swear I’m still the same Ethan!

Money, Menswear, and Us (or Is Money Important for Style?)

A podcast and brief essay about money, our career, and how it affects my method in buying menswear.

The Brown Checked Sportcoat

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Ethan

This has been one of my grails. And like my Aldens, I wear it as much as I can.

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.

Having Fun With Workshirts & Westerners

Leather Jackets Are Fucking Cool (Especially When They’re Vintage)

Posted on February 17, 2020 by Ethan

It’s pretty crazy to think that I’ve never discussed leather jackets in depth on the blog despite: their connection to vintage casual attire, the fact that wearing one is inherently cool, or that they seemingly go with almost every look you could be into.

A leather jacket really is the ultimate piece of casual Americana and they’re awesome, especially when they’re vintage. Honestly, this article has been a long time coming, so you better enjoy it.
