Good to hear @sforum1 actually got 2 pairs of them, though I out numbered you by 3, incl. a pair I got in London in 2019 when the new FS RTW came to the market.
Afaik the cause to FS RTW to fail is multiple: 1. poor online marketing; 2. chaos behind the scene as @dieworkwear mentioned; 3. indifferent product to layman; 4. wrong timing for expansion (with hindsight) etc
If FS could manage continue its business, one could foresee G&G and perhaps EG/CJ will have a hard time to compete - yes, the basic range is underpriced while the premium range offers higher quality or at least head to head to EG TD (and comes with lasted tree!)
Note: I admire the lasted trees from FS rather than those from EG a lot
