Pants and shirts should be guaranteed to withstand hundreds of machine washes without shrinking or falling apart.
Textiles are very very cheap. Men's pants styles have changed very little in 100 years. It's unconscionable that they should cost more than $25-$30 a pair.
When you walk into a Bonobos brick and mortar location, there are lots of accessories (ties, belts, etc.) which are higher margin items that are more trend-driven, which is good for the business's bottom line, but I don't know any guys who really want to go "all in" and look like a Bonobos spokesperson.
A man needs well-made, well-fitting staple garments that he can reliably reorder when he needs more (which should be rarely). The fashion and flourishes are fun, as are luxury materials like cashmere and silk, but they are not the core of a man's wardrobe.
Not everyone aspires to have a super expensive watch and fancy tie. Most of us just want well-made pants that won't be ready for donation to the goodwill the following year. I thought this was what Bonobos was building, but it seems to have branched out into what feels like a copy of Ralph Lauren, with the same kind of aspirational "gentleman" aesthetic.
