I have a hard time believing there is a large group of people that are this lazy as well as careless with money that they would use this for their clothing.<p>&gt; All purchases are final, absolutely no returns will be accepted. We&#x27;re both too lazy to deal with that.<p>To me, that just sounds like you don&#x27;t even care about the customer. But that could just be me as I actually do care about being happy with something I&#x27;ve bought with my own money.<p>I just don&#x27;t see this as something that will take off. Especially as men are becoming more fashion aware.

This seems like something that will only work for someone who views clothing as 100% utilitarian and does not care about how they look. The sizing, fit, and style aspects are really hard to do right for clothing where people care about their style and other players seem to have shipping basics on-demand nailed down. (e.g. MeUndies, ManPacks - although none seem to have a mobile app so maybe you can just compete on user acq. in that channel)<p>1. I don&#x27;t know of any brand of jeans that sells for $40-80 that fits well and looks good. (I&#x27;d say Flint &amp; Tinder is the closest and they come in at $105)<p>2. How do you size tees, tee sizing varies widely across brands? How does jean sizing work, are the jeans bootcut, straight leg, slim straight? (you also have 35&#x27;s as a waist size which basically nobody but Bonobos produces)<p>3. Are you matching the shoes to my style somehow (or the other clothes you are sending) or are they just some random pair of shoes?<p>4. How are undershirts and t-shirts different?<p>5. Are you shipping me sneakers or shoes? If shoes are they oxfords? desert boots? something else? If anything but sneakers are you shipping dress socks to go with them or are you still shipping athletic socks?

Those prices are about 3x what I would normally pay for basic, casual clothing. I&#x27;m from Cincinnati though, so perhaps everything is a lot more expensive elsewhere, or maybe I&#x27;m just really cheap.<p>I don&#x27;t like shopping much, but if I&#x27;m not being picky, it doesn&#x27;t take very long to get in and out of a store, so even disregarding the price, this isn&#x27;t that appealing to me. It might be more appealing if the app promised to make me look good without the effort of shopping. Just because I&#x27;m feeling lazy doesn&#x27;t mean I want the person picking out my clothing to be lazy too. Keep the simplicity of the app, but go the extra mile for me. Take my sizes, but also get my age, a few snapshots, my general taste in clothing, and then really tailor your picks to me. That&#x27;s something I might pay a premium for.

Wait so you can&#x27;t buy hoodies? Uninstalled.

So...<p>* No way to edit sizes<p>* No way to go back<p>* Login doesn&#x27;t save credentials.<p>* No hoodie<p>* No sizes for shirts<p>So, basically, an app built in a weekend. Grats on that, but you really need to put more work into it. It&#x27;s still fairly raw, and the lack of quality pretty much doesn&#x27;t instill much trust in paying for things that are fairly high in price for something I &quot;hate&quot; to shop for.

Hit the link from this on my phone. It sends me to the App Store but never loads (I&#x27;m in NZ - I suspect I can&#x27;t get the app). Double tap back to the HN app and it loads and instantly redirects back to the non-loading App Store. Had to force quit the HN app to get out of the nasty loop.

Pretty interesting idea, good luck! Customer service and returns are pretty important though.
