It’s getting hot out, but the fits are getting hotter. This week we’re chatting summer fits.
We chat about Jian’s quiet luxury, leather pants, ask why movies define style so much, bond and the best Bond era, Riviera Polo fits, the difference between a t-shirt and an undershirt (tbh wild debate), when to wear shorts and flex underwear!
Hang on tight. Here we go!

I’m in Nashville and got to hang with Savannah Yarborough of SAVAS. It’s the Wild West down here but more just wild Nashville.
We talk about Chef Sean Brock, getting amped at the James Beard previews, dope food in Nashville, how everyone loves small brands but not too much, Sav drops knowledge bombs about leather, debate if horsehide is overrated, Visvim making jackets that fit but are too big, swagless athletes, and what not to order when you get the big boi clothes.
2023-03-31 08:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis week it's all about movies and films. I don't know the difference between movies and films and if they're interchangeable, but I've found myself watching movies again and moving away from 10-hour TV shows. I like the fact I can start and finish something in one sitting.
Also…physical media. It's nice to never worry about buffering.
Here's some stuff I've been diving into this week.

Despite the ups and downs of this year I was able to compile a brief list of music/tv/movies and clothes I loved this year. It’s not much but we’ve all read enough end of year lists anyway.

Last month, the New York Times published a post about how men dress when returning to the office. For all the speculation about the end of office dress codes, it turns out, people are dressing much like they were before the pandemic—basically in business casual.

Taste is one of those things that's impossibly difficult to define, and often waived away with sayings such as "to each his own." Yet, it's at the heart of how we choose to dress the way we do. In this episode, we talk about the sociological origins of taste, how to cultivate taste, and why it's so difficult right now to talk about taste in menswear.
