Just a ton of SMH moments. It's really funny, and then you realize those stupid things are costing you a lot of money.

Respectfully disagree, our goal is to establish a lifetime relationship with our customers, not churn-and-burn them out within first 3 months. If we sent clothes that fell apart people would stop using us. We want users to come back to us f

That in a nutshell is what we want to fix. Clothing retail online and offline isn't built with the majority of guys in mind. I think there's a large, silent majority of guys who would buy clothes more often with better guidance and curation

Yea we definitely want to offer clothing at reasonable prices. We're bringing web technology to the traditionally offline/manual process of personal styling so that we don't have to charge exorbitantly high prices to turn a profit. More aut

And by abroad I mean "not US." Sorry, ignorant American here :)

Sorry! Are you by chance located abroad?

Don't need to be embarrassed or ashamed. I think you'll find there's a marked quality difference at 10x cheaper, just because the economics wouldn't work out if you used higher quality materials and design and sold for 10x cheaper.

I think the issue is cost-driven. Particularly if you're going to offer free shipping both ways, you're going to have to charge a certain floor to make a profit after the manufacturing cost of the clothes. If you ship a 2 pound package (pre

@arethuza We've found the significant other's approval is a critical factor in keeping it :)

Just commented elsewhere in this thread about this, we intentionally made the service super flexible so it's not a "cram things down your throat" model. You can rush or delay your next shipment, cancel a pick if you don't like how it looks,

We've intentionally made it super flexible. You can rush or delay your next shipment, choose to skip a month, ask for another pick if you don't like it. Can change frequency to every 2 or 3 months if you'd like too. Can indefinitely put acc

Hey I'm a founder. We actually just started picking up real Big & Tall sizing within past 2 months. Still gathering data on how B&T fits guys' bodies, but learning a lot.

We love the Manpacks team! Lots of respect for the trailblazing they did.

With e-comm, the issue with Europe (from the prelim investigations we've done) is the lack of centralized shipping service. Whereas in US you can use one system to cost-effectively reach any of 300 million people, for Europe you're dealing

I'll go ahead and definitively say "no it wouldn't make money" selling off brand goods at premium brand prices :)

1. We keep track of friends via the personalized invite codes to prevent just that. Even if you don't use those codes, every item is picked for your body shape, skin tone etc. so odds of that happening are low. 2. Already answered :) 3. You

That's on the roadmap. We didn't start out with that because you run into the Kozmo.com problem (lots of human-powered service for a few bucks). We still have to make enough margin to clothe and feed the stylists making your picks :) No it'
