1. We just hit $10K, our goal was at least $5K, which is the minimum to place an order for 16 rolls from the mill.

2. Most people are adequately covered by the standard 6 sizes. Ours fit particularly well - how a shirt should. It is a lot about how it fits in certain areas of the body and then drapes. We spent a ton of time perfecting our block, specific for our cotton, and then expanded it with other shirt designs. We take it a few steps further and have made a number of other sizes to fit between a Small and a Medium, and one between a Medium and a Large, and then tall sizes, tapered cuts for extremely athletic people, and a relaxed cut for heavier.

We're working on the interface now, and will have it done when the campaign ends to collect measurements. We can match you pretty well with height and weight, but chest helps a lot as well. Whatever you're comfortable giving!

Just ordered, and your reply is confusing me a bit regarding the measurements. I entered some measurements under "My Profile", are those all I need to enter, or will there be a different interface once the campaign ends?

First time I'm doing something like this, so I'd like to make sure I'm doing it right :).

The section of My Profile was our first stab at taking in measurements, but we're refining it and making the UX much better. We'll definitely let you know when it launches.
