THE CATALOGUE: SUNDAY SCARIES SHOPPING MENU

Most people don’t need more options — they need fewer, better ones.

Every week, this is about cutting through everything: what actually holds up, what you’ll keep wearing, what won’t feel like a mistake a month from now. The stuff that earns its place instead of just filling space.

No filler, no trend chasing — just things that work, and a few that might actually change how you dress, shoot, or live going into the week.

THE MENU

Reebok Club C 85 Vintage Sneakers

I don’t wear Reebok. I’m Nike — Cortez, Blazers, Killshots — maybe Adidas, maybe something higher-end if I need it. I bought these randomly for like $40 and I can’t lie, they’re one of the most comfortable sneakers I’ve put on in a long time. They look like the same clean white basics I always wear, just with subtle vintage details. I actually catch myself reaching for these more than I expected.

Barbour Ashby Wax Jacket

I have a few Barbours and they’re all worth it, but this one replaced everything. You can send them back, get them rewaxed, patched — whatever. It’s a lifetime piece. The Ashby in blue with the corduroy collar is just perfect. Hoodie, tee, jeans — doesn’t matter. It always works.

Levi’s 501 Original Fit Jeans

$40 for Levi’s 501s is ridiculous. These will last you years and get better the more you wear them. Buy a few, rotate them, and stop thinking about jeans entirely. Your kids will probably end up wearing them at some point.

Persol Round Sunglasses

Persols are classic. Timeless in a way you can’t really escape. I was wearing these before I even understood what they were — just saw a photo of Steve McQueen and that was enough. Now you’re stuck choosing between $10 knockoffs, $100 brands with no history, or $1,000 designer frames. These are so out of style that they’re kind of back in style. That’s where I’m at with them — am I wrong?

Calvin Klein Women’s 90s Straight Jeans

If the Dakota Johnson campaign didn’t sell you, I don’t know what will. These are exactly what denim should look like right now. Clean, simple, and honestly a steal at this price.

Calvin Klein Boxer Briefs (3-Pack)

This is one of those purchases you fix once and move on from. Comfortable, consistent, no thought required. That’s the entire point.

Calvin Klein Leather Jacket (Women’s)

Simple leather, no overdesign, no weird cuts. This is the kind of piece that carries an entire outfit without needing anything else to do the work.

Calvin Klein Bralette + Boyshort Set

Again — if you haven’t seen the Dakota Johnson campaign for their 90s edit, go watch it. Then just give Calvin the money. I don’t even need the commission on this one.

Hamilton Khaki Field Watch (Quartz)

This is the iconic 70s army-style watch you’ve been looking at. It’s quartz, not mechanical — but it’s a movement you can trust, and at around $500 it makes a lot more sense for most people. The 38mm size is perfect, multiple strap options, and a solid stainless steel case. This is the difference between buying a watch off Amazon and actually owning a piece you care about.

American Apparel Heavyweight Tee (Multipack)

Are you tired of paying $100 for two white tees because you saw Whitesville on The Bear? Or dropping $80–$100 on Buck Mason basics? This is the alternative. These are solid, heavyweight, you can stain them, beat them up, wear them every day — and they’re basically the same shirt.

‘Rushmore’ Criterion Collection Blu-ray

Where would Wes Anderson be without Rushmore? I don’t know — and I’m not trying to find out. You’ve got Bill Murray, Owen and Luke Wilson, one of the most important indie films ever made, and a Criterion release you can actually own. What else do you need?

Fujifilm X-T30 II Camera Kit

If you’ve been waiting to justify a Leica, don’t. This gives you that same rangefinder feel without the $5K price tag. Lightweight, sharp, looks incredible straight out of camera. It’s one of the smartest upgrades you can make if you’re serious about content.

Joanthan P. Moustakas

Jonathan P. Moustakas founded The Cinema Group in 2020 during the challenges of the pandemic, after losing the vital ability to find community in theaters and escape through the captivating magic of cinema. Feeling profoundly cut off from the vibrant film community he cherished, he sought to create a welcoming home for dedicated cinema fans while providing engaging, daily curated content that resonates with their passions. Years later, The Cinema Group has blossomed from a small collective of loyal fans into a thriving brand that reaches millions of audiences every month across a diverse array of platforms and mediums.
