What REALLY Happens at Menswear Market
25/8/2026
46:45
Austin and Louis are headed back to market—but what actually happens when a menswear store goes shopping?We pull back the curtain on the buying side of the menswear business: what shows like Chicago Collective are really like, how we decide what makes it onto our racks, what sales reps tell us to get an order, and why something selling well in another store doesn't necessarily mean it'll sell in ours.We also get into what we're seeing change in menswear right now—from moving away from performance fabrics and synthetics to a return to cotton, wool, pleated trousers, double-breasted suits, and more classic pieces.Plus: why “Made in Italy” doesn't automatically mean quality, the world's most passionate T-shirt salesman, an angry Frenchman and his white pocket squares, and what we're buying for the upcoming season.If you've ever wondered how your favorite menswear shop decides what to carry—or you're in the industry yourself—this is what going to market actually looks like.
The Comeback Episode: Menswear, AI, and What We've Been Up To
7/7/2026
47:45
Austin (Gentleman's Avenue / The Man Shop) and Louis (Aspiring Gent / Primo Tailoring) return after four years to catch up on life, business, and everything happening in men's specialty retail.This episode: a customer who used AI to argue about his own suit color, a whistleblower client whose $30,000 wardrobe started with a two-hour conversation about faith, the difference between volume and margin retailers, whether sustainability in menswear is still meaningful or just a buzzword, and a proud coaching moment watching a shy employee land his biggest upsell yet.If you're in the industry — or just curious what running a small menswear shop is actually like day to day — this one's for you.

Timothy is a once-upon-a-time nomad, that spent his childhood moving around the world before settling down in Toronto, Canada. It was there that he fell by accident into a fashion industry that eventually spat him out into a position of sartorial influence and built up a global reputation. He is currently a bespoke tailoring apprentice and runs his own athletic-inspired clothing company that specializes in made to measure suits and is slowly introducing bespoke.
