Tangential, but this isn’t true by any metric. It might not be the sole or dominant platform for the younger generations, but still has 500M daily active users and 2B monthly with revenue last year around $50B. Hardly dying, I’d say.
Might want to check where the majority of those users are from and what kind of content they are consuming if not engaging in. In the context of this conversation and Instagram's existence as a relevant platform for men's fashion, my point stands.

She sells a lot online. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of her revenue is online sales.
Agree. But I was thinking back to when she was at J Gilbert which is a now defunct shop that oddly sold mostly women's wear, Aldens and Lucchese cowboy boots. I think they had Rider shoes for a while. I used to stop in semi-regularly and I recall running into the same Alden customers a lot.

The original founder of styfo was a Seattle guy.

Is this custom? The fit is perfect for what it is.

which? the shirt? yes, it's MTM from Proper Cloth. the denim is Levi's 517

shirt fit is good, but I've adjusted it to be a little more generous on more recent orders. no matter how hard they try there is still some variability in how fabrics make up and in shrinkage, so some margin of error seems to help.

Miss the forum for a few days and I find out we're crawling with Seattleites. I have a pair of Luccheses I bought from J Gilbert maybe 20 years ago. I don't know who's wearing all the Aldens B+M sells, but you don't see them at lunch around Seattle or Bellevue.

If anyone wants to do a Seattle gtg for happy hour or whatever I'm in.

I had a guy at work spot my Aldens a few weeks ago. He told he had just bought his first cordovan pair from B & M.
