Subscribe to Throwing Fits on Patreon. On our weekly mini ep, the boyz are diving deep on this week's guest and touching on a variety of things we might have missed or simply must know more about, including but not limited to: menswear's race to the bottom sure looks familiar, the hubris of having good taste, and tier 1 T-shirts.

This is a clip of the latest Bonus pod! For the full episode, please subscribe on Patreon. In this bonus pod, we talk about the workwear/Americana goodness found in Clint Bentley's Train Dreams (2025). Malgosia Turzanska's costuming is really well done, being a combination of true vintage, repro, and modern garments to evoke the rugged attire of loggers in the 1910s. With all of the picturesque imagery and composed blocking, every shot in the film serves as inspo fodder for any menswear enthusiast, while also harkening to the bygone days of 2010 heritage-core. The movie also just feels like one long, sad/contemplative Filson editorial— and we mean that in a good way!

A seeming Master of Most Trades, Jeremiah Jones, founder of Sew Lab, joins us in studio to talk, among other things, rebuilding domestic manufacturing (in Baltimore and beyond), building cameras, learning to sew, working gigs to fund adventures, old Toyota vans, raves, starting a brand out of a tiny apartment, riding 400 miles a week on a bike in New York, pulling influence from history, Permaculture, developing a personal way of problem solving, and much, much more.

Five years. Half a decade. A journey we never could have imagined when we first pressed record. In this special anniversary episode, we reflect on everything that has unfolded not just within the podcast but in our personal lives, too. Through life's highs, challenges, changes, and growth, this space has remained its own world. A constant. A creative sanctuary. A place where passion always outweighed pressure. What makes this milestone even more meaningful is the unwavering support behind the scenes. To my mum, my biggest supporter, and the very first fan of this podcast, thank you for believing in me before anyone else did. And to my dad, who always said, “Menswear is in her blood no one can take it away from her.” Those words have carried me further than you'll ever know. And to everyone who has listened, supported, shared, and grown with us over these past five years you've been part of every step.

Courtney Mays is a renowned sports stylist and menswear consultant. She's known as a fierce advocate for size and gender inclusivity in fashion, and her client list includes big-name athletes like Chris Paul, Brittney Griner, and Sue Bird along with actors like Anthony Anderson and Winston Duke. On this episode, Mays tells us how she learned to ask for a raise, why she loves celebrating queerness through gender-fluid fashion, and what her clients have taught her about owning her identity. Plus, she shares her plus-size styling hacks and what you should tell your tailor for the perfect fit in whatever you bring in.

In this episode, MJ shares how he plans to stay stylish and practical as an EMT, and Spencer takes us through the Americana-tourist outfits he wears when taking mini-vacations to local places around OC & LA! Oh, we also talk about where we keep our phone pocket (trouser butt-pocket is crazy), dive into the two appeals of creative expression (nuance vs. broad strokes), and why we should probably consume more menswear content for the sake of discussion, critique, and expanding our taste. We also include a review of sorts for the recent Ralph Lauren men's runway show!

Years in the making, we hosted someone who inspired the show, someone whose influence is undeniable, someone whose hot takes are scorching, we welcome the one, the only Mordechai Rubinstein, photographer, writer, father, dude, Deadhead, archivist. Truly a man of many parts! Our extended conversation was exactly what we'd hoped for: explosive, enjoyable, telling, and a barrel of laughs. We talked uniforms, we talked photography, we talked ethos, and perhaps most importantly, we talked about the origin story and the lore around who he is. We even got a speedrun through a portion of his closet! We hope you'll enjoy this journey of a nearly mythical man as much as we did.

For some designers, fashion is less about clothes themselves, and more about what those clothes can convey. They see fashion as primarily a political endeavour, a means of challenging a status quo that too often seeks to erase the individual for the alleged benefit of the social order. They champion diversity, gender fluidity and disruption. Jeanne Friot, Walter van Beirendonck, Ahmed Hassan, Louis-Gabriel Nouchi, Yohji Yamamoto and Willy Chavarria are among the group's most outspoken voices. FRANCE 24 checks out their latest collections.

This week, an issue near and dear to your hosts and even producer: clothes for short people. We interview Deric Cano, all around radiant, Californian, someone who loves/tries to support his home community, and founder of the brand Art Cano. We chat about the struggles of getting a clothing brand off the ground, learning things on the fly, breaking gender norms, a deep love of vintage garments, stigmas around country of origin, buzzword designing, ethical manufacturing, and so much more!

In this week's episode, we examine a specific brand of dark femininity that feels like a vestige of 2016, embodied through dramatic imagery of luxury accessories, cartoon vixens, and predatory wildlife, and expressed through a paradoxical strain of man-hating male centrism. We discuss this aesthetic's positioning in opposition to the Clean Girl and how interpersonal dynamics popularized by sex work inform its understanding of power and money. We also investigate why the dark feminine resonates so deeply among women of the so-called “Latina belt,” drawing connections to chola culture and Arabic literary traditions to explore how this affect functions as a negotiation between patriarchal tradition and Western ideas about female sexuality and autonomy. Finally, we identify the aesthetic's greatest arbiters and muses, from Helmut Newton and Riccardo Tisci to Maddy Perez and BLACKPINK's Lisa.Links: Image board Examples on Instagram, TikTokRalph Bakshi: A Forgotten PioneerRihanna - B***h Better Have My Money (Explicit) (Official Music Video)BbyMutha - RULES (Official Music Video)Why Men Love B*****s: From Doormat to Dreamgirl by Sherry Argov“How the Cholo Clown Became the Face of L.A.” by Frank Rojas for LA Times (“Smile Now, Cry Later” history)Viral Alexa Demie Yo Voy clip Ghazal History – Encyclopaedia IranicaBLACKPINK's Lisa introduces “Vixi” @shopnou_ on Instagram“The Wild World of Chris von Wangenheim” by Daisy Woodward for AnOtherChris von Wanghenheim on TheFashionSpot“Pomellato Revives Helmut Newton's Daring '80s Campaigns in a New Show” by Annie Davidson Watson for WRicardo Tisci by Donatella Versace for InterviewGivenchy Fall 2011 Menswear on Vogue RunwayGivenchy Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear on Vogue RunwayGivenchy Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear on Vogue Runway This is a public episode.

As 2025 comes to a close, we're taking a moment to look back at the conversations that shaped menswear by a Woman Podcast this year. From honest discussions about menswear, self worth, healing, and accountability, to moments of laughter, reflection, and real life lessons this episode is a full circle recap of it all. In this wrap up, we revisit the most impactful episodes, highlight key takeaways, and reflect on how the stories, perspectives, and shared experiences helped spark growth for both our guests and listeners. Whether you've been rocking with us since episode one or just joined the menswear community, this episode ties everything together and sets the tone for what's next. Thank you for listening, supporting, and growing with us. Here's to the lessons of 2025 and the even bigger conversations ahead.

The steadfast support of locals is said to be responsible for a notable surge in Christmas spending in Kilrush. Traders across West Clare's capital have unanimously reported an upturn in fortunes this festive period. Nationwide, punters will spend over €3.9bn this December, as traders begin to wind down for Christmas Day. The average household spend is also expected to hit €1,600, which is a 14% rise on last year. Owner of Anchor Crafts in Kilrush Pauline Dunleavy says they're noticing a significant rise in business. One of the newest additions to the town is hailing the local support for the Christmas spending boost. Hannah O'Reilly, Owner of Clan Gift Store says the retail scene has been thriving this year. One longstanding trader in the town has pointed to variety and understanding local needs as factors helping to boost business this year. George Brew however from Brew's Hardware and Gifts believes the introduction of one hour parking would significantly improve economic activity in the town. One of Clare's longest serving retailers insists buying local will always be more beneficial to a customer than buying online. Seán Dunleavy who's been in retail over 50 years and is currently working in Patrick Bourke's Menswear says local people know what others want and more importantly what they dont.

In this special Christmas episode, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and thank you for your support throughout the year.

On theme for the season, this bonus episode is about the trope-filled 80s/90s menswear of Scrooged (1988). Everything is coded for audience convenience: corporate guys wear DB power suits, and a nerd has round glasses and a bow tie. But here's the thing– it's all good! And not only does this film make good use of menswear stereotypes, but it also features some niche moves that you don't see today, like proper black tie outerwear, a festive doeskin waistcoat, and vibrant, argyle-filled golf attire. The costuming in this movie is charming, as it not only fits the characters who wear it but also serves as great inspo fodder!

On this week's episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with an up and coming clothing aficionado, Eugene Park @euge.park. While he's relatively new to the clothing game, his knack for figuring out his place in our little pocket of internet subculture shines through brilliantly. From growing up in the greater Chicago metro area and thrifting with his mom, to now living in Southern California, he has a unique perspective. We talk finding your style as a full grown adult, a love of sneakers, the intimidation factor of fashion, bucking the rules, Uncle Ralph, making a career out of your passion, and a whole lot more.

This week, Jimmy and Larry are putting their heads together on whether James Bond is a cop or a troop, footwear organization, a little personal order jacket mix up, electronica to listen to while on your bike, we are finally ready to dive headfirst into the big theoretical conversation we've been wanting to have on the current menswear affordability crisis and the claim that all clothes are the same now (read: boring) so that takes up a good portion of the show, big picture Fitties takeaways now that the nominees are locked like where have all the GOATs gone, sneakers are dead and gone, the collaboration market correction and politics as culture, it's almost Industry szn so we talk about our favorite show and our friends Mickey Down and Konrad Kay who were just profiled by The New Yorker, the incarceration corner debuts thanks to Jeremy O.

Today's episode brings you Cléa and Matilda, the duo behind Classic NonChalancen and quite possibly the freshest breeze to ever sweep through classic menswear.They dismantle tradition with the precision of exlaw students (because they are), but deliver it with a charm that feels anything but legal. Their storytelling is crisp, clever, and unexpectedly addictive.And then there's Cléawhose humour operates on a different classic wavelength entirely. Think timeless tailoring, but with punchlines. Matilda balances it all with her steady, insightful elegance, making their dynamic the perfect blend of smart and effortlessly stylish. Together, they pull back the curtain on the true inner workings of classic menswear, sharing the inspirations and revelations that shaped their world. It's playful, intelligent, and absolutely worth listening to especially if you love when tradition gets a chic twist.

The latest bonus episode is about the cozy (and masculine) vibes in Douglas Sirk's melodrama "All That Heaven Allows"! With its New England setting, color-forward cinematography, and Rock Hudson's flannel workshirts, it's a perfect fall movie. Romance is par for the course, but the movie is surprisingly quite critical. Jane Wyman plays Cary Scott, a wealthy widow who falls for her arborist Ron Kirby, played by the handsome Rock Hudson. Her friends and family basically shame her not just for picking a younger man, but one who is also beneath her station (despite the fact that he owns his own business and has land). The movie teaches us to pick love and happiness over social convention, all while giving us wonderful 50s East Coast Americana outfits. Subscribe on Patreon for the full episode!

In this pod, MJ shares a life update, Ethan recaps two menswear events (Freenote Cloth & Buck Mason) and why he likes tucking his tie, and Spencer talks about photography again. Oh, and we all have a big discussion about how fisherman sandals are a bit odd with jeans, why we like congruous outfits, and how hodgepodge outfits are anti-core (and probably a trend).

Most men don't enjoy shopping. They don't know their size. They procrastinate on buying new clothes until a job interview, first date, or important event forces them to scramble. Sound familiar? What if AI could take that frustration away — not just by telling you what to wear, but by sending you the right clothes, letting you wear them, and taking them back when you're done? No shopping. No laundry. No wasted time. https://youtu.be/YDOxeBep_Xc Anya Cheng is solving this exact problem with Taelor.style. She's a former senior leader at Meta, eBay, McDonald's, and Target, and she's launched Facebook and Instagram Shopping. Now she's using her experience and passion for innovation to revolutionize men's fashion with AI, data, and a sustainable rental model. Anya shares how her company helps men “stream” their clothes like Netflix, why goals matter more than fashion sense, and how sustainability and convenience go hand-in-hand. Whether you're a busy professional, an entrepreneur, or someone looking to stand out or fit in at the right moment, this episode will open your eyes to what's possible when AI meets fashion. Quotes: “Our customers aren't buying clothes. They're buying convenience, confidence, and the chance to succeed.” “Most fashion companies ask, ‘What's your style?' We ask, ‘What's your goal?'”“Fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world. We're here to make it circular.” “If you want a seat at the executive table, forget that you're a marketer. Be a problem solver.” “Even with 15 years in big tech, the hardest part of launching a startup was believing in myself.” Resources: Discover outfits. Elevate your style.

The bonus pod is here and it's all about the menswear in North By Northwest (1959)! Spencer, Ethan, and MJ talk about this whirlwind of a film— and the iconic grey suit (with white shirt and grey tie) worn by Cary Grant as Roger Thornhill (or is it George Kaplan?). It's truly the star of the film, going through a drunk drive, being framed for murder, and being run down by a crop duster (who also had a gun, people forget that)! Not only that, but it gets sponged and pressed in 20 minutes. Hitchcock's thriller is full of great style and a lot of grey suits with solid ties. We discuss it all in this pod!

Joseph Abboud, legendary menswear fashion designer, joins Sid to discuss the death of Giorgio Armani. Abboud reflects on Armani's unmatched influence in fashion, his humility, and the lasting impact of his work. He and Sid Rosenberg discuss men's fashion, the decline in dressing well since COVID, and the importance of tailoring and personal style. Abboud notes that younger generations, like Sid's son, can help revive appreciation for fashion.
