Why camp for a shoe that is not even made of leather. I'd rather get me a pair of AE's. Now if Nike starts using real leather like the Banned 1's then I'd contemplate camping or paying a over retail.Oh well. I'm determined to have these, I have like six sites lined up starting like at 6 PM that I'll try, I have to strike something
Very difficult. What will make it stand out from the plethora that exist already? Just check on IG for all the menswear stores that exist that you've never heard of.How difficult do you guys think it'll be to open a menswear store? Something similar to Sid Masburn

Yes. Go look at the Epaulet thread and start from page one. They used to carry other brands when they started. They were really close to failing but caught a break.I wouldn't create my own stuff, just carry other brands.
But I was just thinking how it's impossible for me to find something here. Whenever I need something on short notice I'm sol, because I have to order all of my clothes online. I can't be the only person in town that feels that way too, there are no stores here that cater to men other than crappy department stores and Jos A Bank.
Carlin can chime in on this because Birmingham has a handful of nice menswear shops, but here in Huntsville there are none.

You will need connection and good amount of start-up capital and a good bit of luck.
The good brands that people want aren't so easy to get, just think of Nike I guess. You simply cannot contact them and ask to carry their items in your store. Nike is probably more difficult to get than other smaller brands but I think it works about the same.
You also have to consider your situation and location, yeah it is difficult to find clothes you want in your area but maybe that is for a reason. Maybe those clothes simply does not sell in that area?
I'd personally want to hear Ty's experience on his store.
But you mentioned your biggest competition already, which is the internet, where having low overhead really make it hard to compete with their pricing.
That's another thing too. How do stores even contact brands to carry their stuff? Say I'd want to carry Kiton suits, how would I go about doing so? I've noticed some bands make items exclusively for a shop. On the inside of the coat it'll say something like Kiton made for whatever that shop's name is
Very interesting stuff. I don't really know the first thing about entrepreneurship, would have to do a ton of research
Hardest part is finding a successful business owner who actually has time to spend with you. I wouldn't say courses are completely useless, though I may be biased since I took some of those in my MBA courses.An entrepreneurship course isn't going to teach you **** about running a business.
Find a mentor. Pick his brain. That's the best advice I can give to anyone considering starting their own business.
There is no 'better' route. No one would invest in your brand if you don't spend your own money to show the products and that they can sell...see Shark Tank, my fav show on TV. However, if you have nothing saved up at all or believe you can do it on your own, a loan it is.What would be a better route, investors or just getting a business loan from a bank?
It's real out here, man. My man said Fire Dept. shut down the raffle line in Glendale!Wis you got my 10.5?
