Its only $16 if you're a member which is a core part of their business model.

- adrr 8y agoWonder how successful their subscription model is. Clothing doesn't have a natural fit with recurring purchases as it doesn't solve a problem for the consumer.
- filoleg 8y agoDepends what kind of clothing. Imo socks and regular underwear (had to differentiate "regular", because it doesn't include specialty/novelty stuff) are semi-disposable kind of clothing that isn't meant to last a long long time. I would never get a subscription service for normal clothing, because I take care of it and it usually lasts a while. Underwear and socks (especially) is the perfect fit for a subscription model imo.
- cco 8y agoI haven't bought new underwear in about four years and my oldest pair just ticked over a decade. Duluth boxer briefs, and before that, when they were good, Ex Officio. I highly recommend them for their long life and comfort.
- beatgammit 8y agoI use Darn Tough socks, which have a lifetime warranty and seem to be doing pretty well after a year and a half. I also haven't purchased underwear in years, and I honestly can't remember when that was. I usually have 5-10 sets of underwear and socks, and then I don't need any more. A subscription service just isn't useful at all. In fact, when I buy new socks/underwear, I typically do so in bulk (getting lots of the same kind don't matter at all), so a subscription model makes even less sense.
- toyg 8y agoThis is not true for underwear and socks, which are replaced pretty regularly.
- adrr 8y agoThey both last for a couple of years.
- rezistik 8y agoPlease replace your underwear and socks more regularly.
- Fins 8y agoQuality underwear (unless you only have one pair of it) lasts years just fine. Personally, I wouldn't understand why would anyone chose underwear based on designs on it, though.
- zachberger 8y agoI'm a subscriber. Its not like you're getting a pack of new underwear with every shipment, it is one new piece every time. It may be strange but I love the feeling of fresh new underwear. As someone single in my 20's it can be a real confidence boost! Also, in a previous relationship it was quite fun when we got our matching set!
