35: Dress to Impress with Alvin Cooper III (Founder of CStyled)

In this week’s episode, Michael and John chat with Alvin Cooper III, Founder and ‘Head Style Guy’ of CStyled, a Denver-based haberdashery serving clients across the U.S. Alvin, a Denver native, discovered his passion for fashion as a child during visits to fabric stores with his mom, who made clothes for him and his brother. Before founding CStyled, Alvin held various corporate roles at companies like MCI Worldcom, Qwest, Chipotle, Nike, and Cole Haan. His entrepreneurial journey began with an epiphany about the transformative power of personal style, which led him to explore custom clothing vendors and build a clientele while still working at Cole Haan. After two and a half years of dedication and hard work, Alvin successfully transitioned to full-time entrepreneurship. CStyled now offers custom clothing solutions that address fit issues and enhance confidence. The conversation highlights the significance of personal style, the patience required to build a business, and the importance of finding the right support and brand partners.
