    E129: The Other Menswear In Indiana Jones (The Franchise)

    Part 2 of our coverage of Indiana Jones is here! It's clear that Indy isn't the only well dressed character in the franchise! There's a whole slew of great outfits to be found, like the ivy of his father Dr. Henry Jones Sr., the greaser look on his son Mutt (ripped from Marlon Brando), and of course Sallah's summer tailoring. We discuss all of the non-Indy Vintage Menswear found in this beloved franchise, ranging from his intrepid sidekicks to the relic seeking adversaries. Clothing is clearly a major reason behind why we love this series!

    E128: The Style of Indiana Jones

    This is Part 1 of our two part series on Indiana Jones, with this one focusing specifically on the adventuring archaeologist. We LOVE this franchise as its a fantastic example of character based costuming, with each detail sharing something about the person as well as the era it is set in. The SaDBoys dive deep on everything Indy wears, from his crazy big sable fedora and his A-2 leather jacket to his penchant for bowties and fleck suits. We also compare his attire to period examples like Golden Age adventure films as well as regular people in the 1930s-1950s who wore leather jackets and fedoras. It's a great episode that we hope you'll enjoy!

    E127: Ode To The Pinstripe & Chalkstripe Suit

    We return to discussing our obsessions with specific garments with a new episode on the Pinstripe and Chalkstripe Suit. It's a garment oozes confidence and power thanks to its history of being worn by businessmen, criminals, and myriad of well dressed men over the years. Spencer and Ethan share their own takes on this iconic pattern as they get into its attitude, how you can subvert the vibes, and the different variations they've worn during their menswear tenure! If this doesn't get you to try out the Stripes for yourself, I don't know what will!

    E126: Acting on Inspiration

    This next episode is all about Inspiration: mainly where we get it and how we act on it! After all, being into fashion is really about *acting* on Inspo. It could be replicating an outfit you saw online, being enamored with a combo in a painting, or trying to capture the vibe of a photograph. We also discuss how Ethan is obsessed with Inspo and how it plays into his neverending backlog of outfit ideas.

    B50 PREVIEW: 60s Menswear in The Bikeriders & Fly Me to the Moon (2024)

    July was kind to us and gave us TWO 60s movies with pretty decent costuming. Fly Me To The Moon boasts some fun late 60s menswear ranging from knit tees and neck scarves to short brimmed fedoras and the NASA Special (the short sleeve shirt, slim tie, and browline glasses). The Bikeriders on the other hand fuels our Americana dreams with sportshirts, worn selvedge jeans, and of course epic leather and denim jackets. We discuss the menswear of both of these films on the latest bonus episode of the pod!
