But first, an announcement: While there’s no new episode today, we’ll be releasing an episode tomorrow after lunch. This is completely and utterly my fault, so please direct your complaints to my inbox.
In lieu of the episode, I thought I’d follow up with links to everything (or, at least, most of what we talked about) during last week’s Listener Questions episode. Because we didn’t have video that week, we did our absolute best to update our rundown with links as we went along.
We discussed a lot more than just what the links would indicate, so make sure to listen for full context. Here’s what we’ve got for you:
“40-year-old dad who needs a wardrobe refresh, where do I start?”
“I’m 30 years old and have 1 definite and another possible black tie optional wedding coming up in 2026. I currently don’t own a tux so I’m wondering if it makes sense to buy? But at the same time, part of me thinks I should wait until I get married myself so I can shell out for a really nice tux. I’m pretty sure Will said he bought one for his wedding, but wasn’t sure if he had owned one before on a lower price point. Would love your opinion here, thanks!”
Suit Supply’s Havana Tuxedo — Link
We also discussed the tuxedo from my wedding which I got from J.Crew, but that has gone up in price since 2020 when I originally purchased it.
“Getting married in a black suit — I’d love some shoe recs.”
“Need help with some men’s attire for a western/mountain chic wedding in Colorado!”
Tecovas Dean Boots — Link
“What are some female-specific trends you’re seeing?”
The Jones Report on Substack — Link
“Husband wants to buy me an LV bag but I know nothing about them! Help me choose.”
While we swerved away from Louis Vuitton fairly quickly during this conversation, we did discuss this bag.
“Are flip flops the move this summer? I live on the coast.”
“How was Phish in Austin? Thoughts on their fits?”
Phish Phashion on Twitter — Link
“What should a straight guy look for in a Speedo? Is it okay to wear a traditionally gay brand?”
“You can only pack one pair of shoes for a surprise vacation. Climate unknown. What are you packing?”

My Belgians that I won’t stfu about — Link
Noah Boat Shoes (on sale! but not by much!) — Link
The questions we fielded ranged far further than what is above, but some questions simply didn’t require links in certain cases. If you have any questions about things we discussed that aren’t listed above, drop a comment and we’d love to help guide you.
