Well done and congrats on launching.

Well done and congrats on launching. But I hate that it's all about promoting cheap consumer goods that were made in a Chinese sweatshop and are half way to their final destination in an American landfill. I'm not trying to sound elitist, but Old Navy? That stuff is garbage and will fall apart. And before somebody points out that not everybody is as fortunate as I must be: Clothes and other textiles once made up a much larger percentage of our incomes. Clothes are relatively cheap and if there's any issues it's because of a choice to emphasize quantity over quality. Our consumer more-is-better culture is certainly not your fault. I just lament doing anything to fuel it. Edit: if I had to suggest a place to buy affordable clothing, I'd say http://everlane.com
