Elegance at The Dapper Day x LACMA Swingin’ Soirée 2020
Despite a long construction ahead, LACMA opened it’s doors to the well dressed community of LA for their Dapper Day evening.
Obviously the squad had to show up and do our thang.

The “Style as Empowerment” Panel at the Dapper Day Fall 2019 Expo
It wasn’t a Permanent Style Symposium, but a panel on personal style at Dapper Day seems more my speed. It was a bunch of fun!
Revisiting SJC: Spearpoint Polos and Wide-Leg Chinos
The Drake’s SS19 Trunk Show at The Bloke
No April Fools joke this year. Just another event recap where we took Drake’s new collection, catch up with Chris, and take some weird-ass pictures.
Then again, I don’t know what else you expected.
The 1930’s Peak Lapel, Double-Pleated Patch Pocket Belt Back Jacket
That title is a mouthful, but it’s exactly what this beast of a jacket is. They really don’t make jackets like this anymore!
A Vintage Christmas Party #2
The vintage crew is back at the Reese household for a Christmas party! It’s a yearly tradition and a must for any vintage enthusiast, new or old.
The Dapper Day Fall 2017 Expo with the Squad
Long post with pictures!
The bi-annual weekend event has come again! In this article, I recount my Dapper Day Expo experience (like I did last time) by documenting some of my colleague’s great style and even give you a little sneak peak into the menswear presentation I did with Spencer.
Striped Shirts + Patterned Ties: A Shortcut to Vintage Style
If you don’t have a desire to wear vintage tailoring but want to achieve a vintage look, don’t worry- it’s as easy as wearing a striped shirt and patterned tie.
Instantly looks old school and displays a mastery over classic style, while still looking easy!
Ethan’s Grails: The 1930’s Unstructured Navy Flannel DB Belt Back Jacket
Phew. That title is a mouthful, isn’t it?
As I continue to be more intentional in my buying (instead of buying random thrifts for the sake of tailoring), I’ve decided that my money could be better used on obtaining grails, both for wear and use in a bespoke reproduction. One of the first ones was the 1930’s brown SB patch pocket suit (with gorgeous lapels). This jacket was the next one.
Ethan’s Grails: The Brown 1930s/40s SB with Patch Pockets
Time to start a new feature on this blog: Ethan’s grails. The star of this inaugural piece is a fantastic suit with the cut and designs I’ve been obsessed with ever since I got into vintage menswear. I may just have to get it replicated (with updated fit details).
