Great point. And yes, we have been building our corporate business and decorating shirts with corporate logos.

Yes, we have been approached by folks with physical disabilities that need custom solutions. We have been looking into that.

There are no manufacturer in the USA would allow us to produce one garment at a time. Most mfr. have minimum order requirements of approx. 1,000 pcs per style per color. We would not have been able to offer custom styling NOR custom fitting. We would just be another mass production brand, which is counter to what are purpose is. Unique style and size for every customer. Also, we could have processed orders through a network of tailors, but most tailors do not have patterns for sportswear, including polo shirts. And that would not have been a scalable model. hope that makes sense.

We offer no questions asked returns. If you don't like the shirt for any reason. We will refund you.

That $115 is in dollars. We only support USD at this point. Our site should not convert.

Our value is not being a low cost leader. Our value is in getting people into shirts that fit perfectly. We hope to get our pricing down as we find efficiencies in the mfr and supply chain process. We are making one unit at a time. Not and easy problem to solve on the back end nor a cheap solution. But we are still on par with brands like Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Fred Perry, Sunspel... And are less expensive than Armani, Varvatos, Zegna, etc...

We have been testing out hoodies as a follow on product through our retail channels as well as through a few crowd funding sites.

Great points here. Thanks for your insight. We will continue to learn from all these comments. re: men not caring about fitted polo shirts: we think the market here is fairly large. Mass merchandised clothing today only comes in 4 - 5 sizes (S, M, L, XL,etc...) but our bodies are all different shapes and sizes. So that size M that Jcrew or Ralph Lauren sells will only fit a sub-segment of the population. Everyone else is compromising on fit. If you want a better fitting shirt, come to us. If your willing to shop around for brands that fit your body type or if you don't care about fit, that is fine too. We are here to simply offer more choice for consumers.

Somewhat, but our customers aren't buying an off the rack shirt here. We are sending sizing templates for people to try on. They then go back to our site to determine any adjustments to their sizing profile (adding length to shirt or shortening a sleeve, or tapering the waist, etc). They send the try on shirts back to us and we then go ahead and make a one of kind size and fit for that customer based on their unique body type. make sense?
