The Hidden Collapse of a $2.5T Industry – Inflation Did This, Bitcoin Fixes It | O.W. Root

Marty Bent discusses men's style and masculine aesthetics with O.W. Root from Necktie Salvage. They explore how clothing reflects character and culture, examining the decline from traditional dress standards to today's pajama culture. Root explains why dressing well matters for confidence, civility, and personal development, debunking myths about cost and comfort. The conversation covers timeless American style, the importance of neckties, quality versus fast fashion, and building wardrobes on any budget. They address generational differences, particularly challenges with Gen Z, the role of mentorship in teaching young men proper presentation, and how clothing connects to dating culture and social respect.
