Check out Bonobos...http://www.bonobos.com/welcome/n

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


Wait for their sales, some good pants for decently cheap!

edit: Also Dockers ... As a scrawny dude who always ends up with baggy pants even on the slim cuts, their alpha khakis fit me better than anything.


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.


If you linked this to paperless receipt for alterations that would be ++.


I feel your pain brother.


Shoes coming soon. We're leaving Monday for a shoe scout mission...:).


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.


Their web experience is superior in my opinion. I feel far more capable of making informed decisions using their interface.


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.


All of the antitrust stuff of the last decade has really tamed Microsoft. I'm not sure they'd do that. I really wanted to like Windows Phone 7, but have lost faith and think WebOS may have an opportunity to overtake them if HP plays their cards right.

Microsoft's biggest hope for penetration is the Nokia partnership. Two frightened dinosaurs huddling in a cave as the comet approaches...


> All of the antitrust stuff of the last decade has really tamed Microsoft.

That's why discussions like this would no longer happen over e-mail. On a open field, during a social encounter with no witnesses and no lasting evidence it ever happened, I am not so sure.

Microsoft has always used discounts to modulate OEM licensing costs.


Yes, it definitely is coming to Windows Phone 7.
