Prices are up. Way up.

In this episode, I dive into the world I know best — luxury menswear — and talk about what’s really going on behind those skyrocketing suit prices.

From brands I love and have worked with—Brioni, Kiton, Tom Ford, Canali, and Brunello Cucinelli—I give you an honest, insider’s take on what’s changed over the years, how the product has evolved, and whether these $10K+ suits are still worth it.

You’ll hear personal stories, insights from inside the industry, and a true story involving none other than Alec Baldwin, told just the way it happened. If you’re into tailored clothing, Italian craftsmanship, or just wondering if high-end fashion has lost its mind—this one’s for you.


🎙️ Topics:

Why prices have increased so dramatically

What still makes these brands special

How luxury tailoring has shifted post-pandemic

Real talk about value, quality, and branding today
