, Rutledge’s, a 54-year-old classic men’s clothing store in Colorado Springs, Colo., sold a healthy 35 neckties a month. In 2020, that number has dipped to just 15.

There's nothing like a well-dressed man in a three-piece suit. Silk socks and the right shoe. You have no class in America. Thank Nike, Levi's, and that ubiquitous baseball cap. When you dress like a bum you act like one as well. Every bumb in America owns one of those labels.😂
