Sure, that's what Apple says too, but look at the news today.

You say you spent 2.5 years setting up a supply chain, but did you examine the possibility of manufacturing in the USA?

Given that your polo shirts start at $115, surely there's enough fat margin to allow for increased costs? The federal minimum wage is just above $7/hr. How long does it take to make a polo shirt?

Why did you choose Thailand and not the USA? That's the question the Bloomberg interviewer should have asked.

There are no manufacturer in the USA would allow us to produce one garment at a time. Most mfr. have minimum order requirements of approx. 1,000 pcs per style per color. We would not have been able to offer custom styling NOR custom fitting. We would just be another mass production brand, which is counter to what are purpose is. Unique style and size for every customer. Also, we could have processed orders through a network of tailors, but most tailors do not have patterns for sportswear, including polo shirts. And that would not have been a scalable model. hope that makes sense.
