I'm an old school C/C++ embedded developer but have recently reinvented myself as a web/mobile freak with my preferred technology stack being Rails, Android and iPhone. I have a soft spot for Pythong/Django too.

We saw a presentation by their founder long before launching 7RL. Good people and great products.

We have a mobile app ready for release that you can take to the tailor of your choice and poke in the measurements. Stay tuned on that front. We're also looking into some more advanced measurement technologies.

Absolutely correct, you can be well dressed without a suit.

A nearly identical business model, but we have some unique technology and more direct customer contact. For example, when you place an order we have a system which modulates your measurements with data from other customers to identify potential measurement errors. When those are flagged we will contact you directly to sort it out and ensure the suit has the best chance of a great fit. Measuring yourself is error prone, so we have a lot of mechanisms to identify and rectify those issues.

Yep, Hackernews effect. It's back up now but smoke's coming out of the servers.

We're launching shirts too. French cuffs and all. We can already take orders but they're not on the site yet.
