I wonder what the final prices will be, because $30 for a polo is not a 90% reduction in price. Having said that, I would not buy a polo for over 25 dollars, and would try and get a discounted american apparel polo, or even a thrift store. Best of luck to him though, looks like he has almost already met his goal on his kickstarer campaign.

If you can find a nice polo at a thrift store, go with that! We shop thrift/vintage ourselves, and love re-use vs. new manufacturing.

We're going to strive to hit price points that the average American (US!) find reasonable. As we build the company we'll have an increasing ability to do this.

Our first run, however, just isn't feasible at the quality we are holding ourselves to (plus Kickstarter and Amazon both take a cut).

I think we'll hit $25 for a polo quickly. We hope you'll follow the progress and buy when you're comfortable!

I'm all for what you're doing. I think these over priced brands are not worth the cost in quality. I'm happy to pay more for items that I believe are quality, and support good overall ethics. Keep it going.

Keep it up man. It's awesome that you're doing, and not just talking, like me. America, and the world, needs more ethical manufacturing. And quality over just brand, is what creates great brands, like apple.

Really impressed by this answer. And really hoping you guys blow it out of the park. (Congrats on hitting your goal so early.)

Thank you so much! So awesome to have so many people genuinely supportive of what we're working on!
