Hey there, most images you see on the website are placeholder images until we get our own product photos. Thanks for the feedback.

We appreciate your feedback very much, we're currently working on making it easier to see our product catalog without signing up, Pricing is in the FAQ section, but we will make sure to put out more info on pricing, shipping, etc. on the home page.

Thank you for the feedback.

we are working on this, being able to see all the products without an account/membership. Thanks for the feedback we appreciate it.

Thank you for the feedback, we are open to ideas.

we are wokring on option 1

We're experimenting with this, 2 options: 1. No membership, but higher prices (we may try this in the near future)

2. Membership with ultra low prices on clothing

With option 2 you actually end up saving more in the long run and its the same result.

Membership helps to run the business while passing all the cost savings to you, that's the main idea about this business model, but definitely open to experimentation.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!

You can buy these products, they are real. we still have some fixes that need to be made to our website, but the site is technically functional.

We will become more cost competitive as our volume and scale increases. H&M is usually quite low quality.

This is just a placeholder image we will be changing it very soon as the site was just a prototype, and we are going to add privacy policy and terms of service very soon.

we have taken note of this and are literally fixing it right now, thanks for pointing that out, appreciate it.

Prices will come down with volume and scale, and we do sell more than shirts, we have jackets, flannels, hoodies, and shirts. Planning on adding more in the future as well. The 12.00 is pigment dyed, meaning the color will last longer and is more resistant to fading. We are coming out with a 6.00 shirt very soon, at 3.50 we found that the quality gets too low, almost like that of an undershirt, but in the future our prices will only get cheaper

Our clothing prices will only get lower as we get higher volume.

With Uniqlo specifically, their clothes generally seem to look more streetwear-esque and usually fit a bit bigger than usual.

Thanks for the feedback though.

In my experience their clothes are typically more on the rugged/outdoor part of the spectrum and will oftentimes have logos. Our clothes have no logos, are modern fitting, and high quality! Thanks for the feedback.

Haha, that image is just a placeholder image for now while i get better imagery. Not selling cardigans lol. We will be expanding our products and catalog in the future, socks are definitely in consideration. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah we might be doing a free sample feature in the future, where you can buy one shirt without membership to see the quality for yourself. Website is almost finished, there are more products but have to where you can only see them if you have a membership for now, will fix that soon. Thanks for the feedback.
