On Menswear Communities & The Importance of Friends

We’ve talked about POV and Slouch, but do you guys wanna know the real way to pull of an aesthetic in confidence? Have a good community and friend group. I’m serious.

Picking with the Boys at Vintage Productions

I finally get to document a vintage warehouse for you guys, with plenty of phone, film, and DSLR pics for you to enjoy. We also wore a bunch of good fits, if you like that sort of thing.

The New Name

Posted on February 24 by Ethan M. Wong

I altered the name of the blog- did you notice? Don’t worry; that’s the only thing changing about it.

I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life to discuss the relationship between music and menswear and how it applies to me. Get ready for a great podcast episode and a full essay that’s tangentially (at best) related to clothing.

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

I swear I’m still the same Ethan!

Having a Style POV & a Desired Aesthetic

Posted on January 24 by Ethan M. Wong

I’ve spent many an essay talking about how I’ve intentionally picked a certain piece or done a style move based on an aesthetic, but it’s about time I wrote a singular article on why having an aesthetic (or a POV) is important.

There’s also a podcast episode about it too!

There have been a few wild streams lately, but hey, maybe you’ll enjoy having these discussions on in the background while you work from home. It doesn’t look like we’re going to be out of here any time soon!

Editorial: Catching Up with Joyride Vintage

Posted on January 17 by Ethan M. Wong

I don’t really write profiles on stores (The Bloke kinda counts, RIP), but this place deserves one, since it’s probably the longest lasting one I frequent and thoroughly enjoy visiting.

This isn’t a profile, but just another entry into the “Adventures of Ethan”, complete with both film and digital pictures (but mostly film).
