Ahh... Marketing Automation! I founded a Sales Automation (CRM) company prior to this, Salesnet. We were acquired by RNOW (now ORCL). I also ran a small marketing automation co for a year. Lots to chat about. Good luck with Daymond.

Great points! Would love to discuss with you more offline. We source some of the highest quality cotton available. We use essentially the same quality that you might see on a Cuchinelli, Zegna or Kiton polo - which retail for $250 - $400

Yeah, I hear ya on that photo. If it is any consolation that photo was taken before we started our perfect fit program! And that model was not fitted with our home try-program. Needs to be replaced, agree!

Thanks pwf, we have been considering this avenue. Especially to help with the first step of size selection optimization, but through a variety of tests and interviews we conducted, there was something about people actually touching fabric

Agree flash is a dead end! And we will be migrating. However, we discovered the performance issues today were not caused by our flash app but due to config settings on our Apache servers. Again, apologies for the poor experience...

Sorry for that @pattern! Obviously to all, our site has been experiencing issues because of the high traffic. We made some Apache config changes and can now support higher traffic levels. If you try logging in again, you can save to MY C

Great point! We are working on getting our prices down. But we are still less expensive than off the shelf Lacoste or Ralph Lauren Polo (which range from $95 - $145 retail). And we believe our quality is higher. Plus, we are custom. I

Great comment!! Our supply chain partner did a study where they collected over 150,000 body scans. They then analyzed the data for any consistency in sizing. They found that each body scan was like a thumb print! This is the reason why i

Thanks jonah! Definitely will look into it! We have sponsored member guest tournaments for golf where each team required a slightly different appearance but wanted an overall theme. We have also custom designed whole collection of shirts

We will ask you a few simple questions to optimize a size selection. From there we will send you 2 - 3 of our unique fit types to try on at home. In most cases, one of those 3 sizes will fit almost perfect. Then we will allow you to adjus

This is precisely what we are striving for. Not an easy task. Our fitting process will require no measuring tape and no human intervention. From size optimization to recommending adjustments for perfect fit, we hope that the whole proces

I will have to check that episode out. We are certainly working on turn around time. Hopefully we can cut by 30% in the near future. We will also likely sell some mass produced designs which would allow us to ship immediately. But if ou

Good catch... We certainly would not want to know about anyone's "waste" size!

Yeah... we know... totally our bad. We were focused on scaling supply chain, mfr and coming up with great product. Unfortunately, made the rookie mistake of building in flash. That will change for sure. Sooner the better...
