Normally I'd prefer a B2B/B2D type thing for practical reasons, but it's a consumer fashion thing.

Discovery and recommendation oriented, designed to get the rather large percentage of the young population that isn't dressing as well as they could on board. Especially young professional-age men.

It's an itch-scratching problem that is dear to me. Even if it doesn't develop into a sustainable business it's worth it to me to attack.

I'm in Mountain View right now, consulting after my stint as a non-founder CTO. Not going non-founder route again.

I'm bootstrapping at least initially so I get more utility from cheap land and nice people than I do accessibility of seed money.

Interesting. That seems more like a New York startup, but COL would really be out of your favor out here, and you'd be competing with finance on salaries.

That's a great concept. I think a lot of us are late to realize that how you dress (especially for work) matters. I didn't know how to dress until I met my wife. I hope that it works out.

I hear you on that. I feel like startup founders overestimate the degree to which they've "de-risked" the business, mainly as an excuse to take 10x the equity. In truth, a company with 18 months to live, no free-standing reputation, and that fires without severance is not de-risked at all.
