The Sunday Digest 149
"Strange how the night moves with autumn closing in."
Welcome to The Sunday Digest — a free Sunday newsletter featuring long (and some short) reads, original columns, things I’ve saved over the last week, relaxing playlists, episodes releases, exclusive product drops, and more. Yes, you can reply to this email. I’d love to hear from you.
Editor’s Note: Things may be a little light across Substack and Instagram this week for Sunday Scaries. I’m spending the week in Michigan with my family, and I think you can understand how much I’d like to get some free time with them. Appreciate you understanding!
Now Available: New Crewnecks
For the first time in a long time, we released some new product from Sunday Scaries this past week. With fall directly in our crosshairs, of course it had to be time for some new crewnecks to over-wear through the holidays. We have two available — The Leisurist and For Sundays Only. I hope hope you enjoy them!
You can also see more about them here.

It’s been far too long —
Someone needs to change the sheets,
but it won’t be me.
New Episode › Retail Therapy 127: The 2025 Fall Fashion Episode
Always one of the trademark episodes of the year, this year's 2025 Fall Fashion Episode is no different. We began with a bunch of women's trends we've seen bubbling up from 'that' green jacket to suede sneakers to drawstring jeans. We then dove into the male side to discuss military style, blue scarves, the rise of henleys, rugby shirts, the state of pants, male earrings, Canadian Tuxedos, fleeces, sweaters, and more.
Many of the products referenced today are available at one of our favorite independently owned boutiques, Canoe Club out of Boulder, Colorado. They've let us put together our very own Retail Therapy Edit with those aforementioned products as well as a host of other items we've either brought up on previous episodes or that fit well into the categories we discussed on our Fall Fashion episode. Check out the curated selection here:

Things I Saved This Week
My Sunday To-Do List
Well, after having an entire to-do list for our delayed Michigan trip a couple weeks ago, I’m now in Michigan doing everything I wanted to do.
A mid-afternoon beer while my boys nap feels like an inevitability.
Plan the rest of the week after our original vacation plans got blown up by hand-foot-mouth.
While I’d love for a Sunday drive to lead me to Pond Hill Farm, we may wait to go there on a non-weekend day when it’s not as busy.
Squeeze in 9 holes at my old course? Lofty, but maybe.
Kinda just want to lie down in a lawn somewhere for a bit.
Sunday dinner with the family or a rare dinner out with some old friends.
“How can I support Sunday Scaries?”

Laying down on the lawn is such a mood. Last month I went to northern Maine and that’s all I didn’t the entire time ☀️
