Hey HN, OP here. This is the first MVP of a project I'm working on. Please feel free to ask any questions - I'll be lurking here for a while to try to be as helpful as possible!

This looks really cool.

I did an internship once with Schlumberger in a field base for a month. I bought more than 30 socks and boxers because I didn't want to be washing mine so I thought I'd just wear it, then wear another and then bash was them or use them for something else.

I also brought a lot of t-shirts (since we would wear coveralls, they were just causal t-shirts).

I didn't know they would cater to us the way they did and my clothes ended up being washed (you just had to leave it in a special net they provide, and someone would pick it and wash it) so I ended up having a lot of clean socks and boxers and shirts oh my.

Bear in mind that when I'm home, I wash my own clothes by hand because they are nice fabrics and would never put them in a machine or at the dry cleaner. But it would be nice to have some casual clothes you could change rapidly.

Interesting idea man.

If this were for high-end suits and shirts, then maybe. But there's nothing difficult about buying and laundering a bunch of jeans and solid t-shirts. (Jeans shouldn't be washed that often anyway.)

From a marketing perspective, I do like the "I would pay ____ for a casual subscription."

PS - "Receive at your door" has a typo in "Receive."

PPS - Another reason this shouldn't be done with jeans: Like a baseball cap, they eventually take shape to fit the wearer, which is why your "ol' pair of jeans" feels so comfortable.

Typo fixed, thanks for catching that.

To address your first point, I think the hassle of washing clothes, getting rid of old clothes and buying new clothes varies greatly by lifestyle. I guess I'm trying to figure out how many others like me there are out there!
