Not all businesses are created equal.
Bespoke tailors and multi-brand luxury menswear shops are like small vineyards and art galleries.
It’s a fun passion project, once you’ve sold your first business that manufactures golf cart batteries or does commercial carpet cleaning.
Other guys in similar situations might start an arts foundation or breed dogs...
But none of it makes sense unless you’re already rich.
(And none of it is charity in the true sense of the word, or worth subsidies from the rest of us)
Im glad we live in a world with Khakis of Carmel or Axels of Vail but we have to call a spade a spade.
I don't know of any bespoke tailor or shoemaker who started his businesses after selling a company that manufactures golf cart batteries.
