very nice job, happy to see some entrepreneurs coming along on the forum!

Ran into @brillopad yesterday in SF so we headed off for drinks and to hear more about the new brand. Here is a pic of Ian wearing the chino. The fit reminds me of the popular RRL Officers chino but with a bit more business casual refinements. They look great!

Thanks so much! Starting a company seems like a rite of passage in San Francisco, the land of entrepreneurs.

Great seeing you yesterday!

This is also the most recent (and likely final) sample of the LS polo. I'm just checking everything on it now before we move into production with the factory.

The chinos and jeans are getting ready to hit the cutting floor and should take about 4 weeks for production, so we expect to have them ready to ship in early May.

Any other colors besides the navy for the polo? (still getting a navy, question is if I'm getting any other colors).

We're in talks with the factory to see what our options are. It's the classic push and pull between a client and a factory, where we want to make the order as complicated as possible and they want to make it as simple as possible. My best guess is that there will be 2-3 colors (probably navy, white, heather gray) and hopefully some short sleeve options as well. There are many other colors we'd like to include of course, but we have to start small and build from there.

Do a burgundy l/s polo

 

[brillopad]

On the topic of polo colors, another thing that excites me about doing these in a region of India with so much experience with cotton and dyeing is the possibility for trying some unique things - natural dyes, for example. Just some thoughts for further down the road.

This.
Folks that wear (shirt like) polos in this context already have navy and white, and they are available in different price ranges, from Luca Avitabile to Spier&Mackay.
Burgundy or deep purple would be very nice.

Agree with the above, but also a green of some sort. Maybe forest or bottle(ish). Not to add too many colors, but just a couple that are harder to find elsewhere.

A grayish lighter blue would be nice. Like in the range of Air Force blue

I haven’t bought from either of these brands because of price or styling/details.

Thanks for the color suggestions! Forest green and light blue are definitely on this list. Looks like we'll have to add burgundy too

As for why we're starting with simple (albeit common) colors instead of more adventurous ones, the reason is that we want to make sure all of our offerings go well with each other. When we have the bandwith to expand the color range we definitely will!

If you bypass the pre-order, will you still be able to buy directly from the site once the products are produced?

 

[zhenjie]

Definitely following, loving the concept and roadmap you have. Hopefully, with more volumn, you'll be able to offer some more economical international shipping options.
