Bonobos’ Andy Dunn Talks the Future of Retail
- j_m_b 10y agoAnyone have experience with Bonobos clothing? I've really wanted to try out their suits.
- pxlpshr 10y agoI love their pants and shorts. When I was in the market for a new tux, I thought they fit very well but they lacked a lot of tradition. I'm not a fan of a modern interpretation of a tux. If you want a modern tux, wear a notched lapel or cropped leg but don't mess up the basics traits. Every coat had pocket flaps and some pants lacked a satin stripe. I ultimately went with a Boss black label. But honestly, to each their own. I'm not a fashion snob – just personal preference. Next time I'm in the market for a suit, I would definitely check them out based on the slim cut and stretch material.
- hendzen 10y agoTheir shirts are just OK - I would avoid the oxfords particularly though as they are not very durable. The pants are great.
- i_am_viet 10y agoI rate their quality along the lines of JCrew. Just like JCrew their clothing isn't worth the full price. Both do heavy discount promotions, so I would wait for those. Not knowing your budget, but if you are looking for a suit (I am assuming you are looking at a modern cut given your interest in Bonobos) I highly recommend stopping by a SuitSupply store.
- 0xcde4c3db 10y ago> To deliver on fit you can’t just serve one body type. You have to look at all body types and figure out how many silhouettes you need. In our case it’s four or five. Then, within each silhouette we offer really deep sizing. We offer 37 waist and inseam combinations—it’s really a custom fit. Setting aside the value of an in-person fitting, it seems strange to me that Amazon (and its imitators) is so bad at handling product ranges like this. Chip vendors and electronics distributors have had tolerable-to-awesome parametric search for years, but with Amazon you're often lucky if there's even an include-only checkbox for a feature, and that checkbox probably won't filter correctly. Maybe they just don't care because these kinds of products don't represent much of their volume? Maybe they think people are too stupid to use a powerful search tool? I don't know.
