>Startups in this space You mean a clothing store...? Amazon? Online shopping?

Wait you mean you buy things from people who aren't currently accepting A round investment?

Who would do such a thing?!

This is how I imagine the proposed scenario going...

"Oh, I need fifty pairs of these pants - oh want to hear my latest startup pitch now too?"

I suppose that's how the conversation would go while you get your latest clothes delivered.

Have you considered American Apparel? I migrated my wardrobe of t-shirts over to the 2001 Fine Jersey Short Sleeve (and some BB401 50/50 Poly Cotton). It's available in multiple colors including navy blue, you can order online, and they have stores in many big cities across the world - useful if you need to refresh your wardrobe while travelling overseas. The 2001 is their mainstay, it isn't going anywhere. For suits…

I went ahead and ordered some Fine Jersey Short Sleeve T-Shirts. Thanks for that recommendation!

I agree about the AA shirts. They're a key part of my wardrobe, I love them. Unfortunately, the company's really struggling right now. I hope they make it.

Sometimes, I think people spend too much time and energy trying to avoid spending too much time and energy on what to wear. Maybe Jobs and Einstein did it, but I view it more as a quirk rather than efficiency.

Yes.

It's more important how it's made (and how the people involved are treated) and what it's made from, in addition to quality for cost.

Honestly, I'd like to see live webcams in contract mgfr factories where a particular product is made and be able to follow a product's components until it ships. That's the proof necessary to show whether workers are dangerously exhausted, abused by supervisors, etc. It would also be good to see the authentic average of hourly worker pay compared to local cost of living.

Every physical purchase has an human, animal and/or planet cost.

Pft, I only buy kickstarter and indiegogo stuff. The shirt I bought last year is getting delivered in 3 months.
