Withered Fig started in 2017 as a Northern Virginia menswear store curating denim, clothing, and lifestyle goods, with brands including 3sixteen, Iron Heart, Studio D'Artisan, orSlow, and Viberg. It runs its own journal, The Shade, publishing interviews with the brands it carries alongside features tracking how its denim and garments age over time. Denim remains central to what it sells, though the range has grown to cover a fuller wardrobe.
