Slightly newish angle on cutting out the middle man.Mens | Italic

Well, that takes the bullshit cake, lol. Exactly the same middleman business model as Everlane or all those other guys, but they're "different" because they don't put a brand label on it? And you have to pay $100 for the right to buy their stuff. Holy **** the level of deception is reaching stratospheric levels these days - all under the guise of transparency, ironically. And the waitlist shtick to boot.Slightly newish angle on cutting out the middle man.Mens | Italic

Does "100% Grade A Mongolian Cashmere" actually mean anything, or is it like how MacDonald's uses 100% Grade A beef?
Reminds me of bespoke shoemakers who always say we have the best leathers.The times I've interviewed brands and factories, I've been surprised to learn that they don't know the original grade of the fibers. But it also makes sense. The process is so specialized and decoupled at this point, everyone works in their area of the chain. The only thing that a brand or factory knows is that they work with the best yarns. And they judge that by the reputation of the company (stuff is often sourced from Todd & Duncan). I've never talked to Todd & Duncan, but I assume they would just say they purchase from the best sellers of fiber, and those sellers probably build their reputation from buying the best lots.
Well...
$95 for cashmere joggers, I might just have to find out.
Repetitive morning wood stress test will be telling of the quality/weave.
