What I’ve Worn On My Birthday

Happy Birthday to me! It’s okay if you didn’t get me anything, since I actually have something to give to you: a deep dive into what I’ve worn when celebrating my annual trip around the sun.

Military surplus is a fun way to add some spice to your wardrobe, and Spencer and I have been doing it for a while now! We discuss the appeal of Milsurp, our favorite pieces, and where we suggest you get them, all in this much-anticipated episode.
You can also enjoy the plethora of inspiration images (which is probably the real reason you’re here…)

It’s time to talk about the vintage style in one of my favorite movies of all time: Back to the Future.

I never thought I’d be writing about the late 60s-70s, much less feel like it’s had an impact on my style. Perhaps it’s because I grew a beard and started growing out my hair.
But certainly the wide lapels, long collars, and runaway collars already have a place in my existing style? Read on.

Since there are no events to cover (or even hangouts with friends too turn into editorials), I thought it would be nice to finally write an essay on one of my most requested garments: my custom suit from Ascot Chang, cut from blue Crispaire.
I went through the commissioning experience over a year ago, so my memory might be fuzzy and there aren’t as many detailed pics, but I hope you all enjoy it. It was rather nice to walk through memory line and revisit what it was like to get one of the best (and highest quality) suits I own.

This is it, our big AMA episode! We answer your questions like how we dress in hot weather, if vintage style will ever die, and what the heck do we have as our phone lock screens!
Today also marks the launch of our Patreon and Discord! There are some big things coming in the future.
Who would’ve thought that with all my free time, I’d regress further and dress like a little boy?

J. Crew has filed for bankruptcy. While that doesn’t mean the store is going away for good, it inspired us to have a full discussion on the Brand! We trace its history from it’s early catalogue/RL wanna-be days to its status as the mainstream’s voice for #menswear, Americana, and heritage.
Even though we don’t always buy from it (especially as our tastes have changed), it still holds a place in our hearts. Perhaps this is a sign for how mainstream menswear/mall brands will fare in the future..

We may not be able to hang out and dress up with friends in real life, but luckily my friends and I all have a game that allows us to do that on an island paradise.
And to my surprise, the clothing offered was amazing. Even better than my own closet in some cases!

In today’s pod, Spencer and Ethan discuss the lifestyle of menswear enthusiasts, it’s perceived elitism, and how we stack up to it!
