I thought True Religion had closed most of it's stores. If a brand like that is included then that opens up options for Paige, Frame, 7 for all Mankind, Rodd & Gunn, Scotch & Soda, Billy Reid, etc.
I would add frame before I add true religion. Not that I prefer Frame. Nor is frame as trendy as true religion. But price point matters. What makes these brands high ends is exclusivity and obtainability. It’s almost weird seeing robin’s Jean on the list considering it’s a whole different genre than the rest of these but like I mentioned, any brand that can survive selling $400+ Jeans deserves a place here.
Alexander McQueen is already on the list. I’m Not adding true religion. It’s not in the same class.
Isabela Morant and Audemars easily in. Byredo and Longchamp, I wouldn't agree. Make and Joie are in though. The lifestyle brands you mentioned, I don't really agree on fitting this list. Any opinions on these?

Made it through from ACNE studios to Graff. I skipped over Carolina Herrera. Also removed Ferregamo, that one is doubled with Salvatore Ferregamo.
Giuseppe Zanoti appears to have closed most of their USA stores... Any idea what's going on there? I went ahead and put that one on pause until I see what's going on there.
Brand presence so far (not including multiple locations). So far cities with more than 10 locations
1. New York - 33
2. Los Angeles - 31 (guess the 2 that it misses from NY)
3. Miami 31 (guess the 2 it misses from NY)
4. Houston - 25
5. Vegas - 24
6. Dallas 20
7. SF - 20
8. Chicago 17
9. DC - 16
10. Boston - 15
11. Atlanta - 14
12. Honolulu 13
Las Vegas would be fourth by number of boutiques, because on many of these, it has multiple stores of the same brand unlike Houston and all other cities that aren't top 3. I expect Vegas to still end up top 4.
Any questions regarding "what's missing for __" or "what does __ city have that __ city is missing", go ahead. And feel free to add brands if needed. I'll try to do as many more as I can.

I think this thread is getting silly at. this point.
The top 10 largest metros in the USA.
All have some very high end brands and shopping.
The metros below are not all the top ten, but have solid high end shopping.
NYC
CHI
LA
DC
BOS
PHL
SEA
Scottsdale
ATL
LV
MIA
I think are the true top contenders tbh.
I guess Dallas too.
Outside of this. You have pockets of fake money. Which honestly Vegas is that for me. Because the Vegas metro in no way supports those high end stores. It is 100% from the tourist, and most of the stores are simply advertisements and sell very little merchandise. Which is a fact..
I doubt no one on this thread is spending 10,000 a month at Neiman Marcus. LMAO

None of that I guess Dallas. Dallas and Houston absolutely belongs in that list as well.
You have Bloomingdales and Nordstrom but not True religion? Doesn’t seem right...I get it but idk seems not right Nordstrom has Rack attached to it and both those stores go so heavy on the sales

Actually, Nordstrom usually only has a few sales a year. Their big men's sale is only every June. And Rack is totally separate, just like Off Fifth for Saks and Last Call for Neiman Marcus. Some of these outlets exist in Metro's that don't have their full line stores as well.

Agreed with the bolded, and LOL at your last sentence. I've never even stepped foot inside a Neiman Marcus.
The thread was fun at first, but the OP has just been talking to themselves for the past several pages.
And not so subtly, they seem to be peforming all sorts of mental gymnastics to boost Houston (at one point putting its shopping on the same level as Chicago, LMAO!).

Yea I’m looking... it looks like they’re going out of business tbh. Crazy sales and the price point is way lower than 2012/13. I used to think of them as the same as Robins Jeans.

Saks has off 5th attached, Neiman has last calll. Those aren’t added in. I actually wasn’t going to add department stores at all, but others suggested it.

This is cap. Literally in the OP itself Chicago is a tier well above.
