I’ve been curious about this for a while, but I just got an email that pushed me over the top
KA is selling copies of Simon Crompton’s Bespoke Style book for $85, which is $30 over the price on Crompton’s own Permanent Style! What gives with his business model, why would anyone buy it there?
I watch most of his YouTube content, even if it does lean a bit into the “sir, I am a gentleman” aspect of menswear. But I’m genuinely curious about the retail arm of his operation...things just seem to be priced super high in comparison to other places. For example, all of his Saphir products are $5-10 more expensive than you can find elsewhere with a simple google search. Also, whose buying $2K tuxedo studs?
Does he just drop ship/upcharge these items?
