What I’ve Worn On My Birthday

Posted on July 20, 2020 by Ethan

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.

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.

Had some Holiday fun with the SoCal menswear scene at one of my favorite, if not only, classic menswear stores in Los Angeles! It also happened to be the site of the seasonal Ring Jacket trunk show, which I had always wanted to check out.

The Menswear in Knives Out (2019)

Posted on December 8, 2019 by Ethan

Just as Benoit Blanc arrives at the truth as if by looking for the “terminus of gravity’s rainbow”, you probably expected me to analyze the menswear in this fun movie.

And by the way TLJ/Rian Johnson haters can fuck off; he’s great!
