Thanks Nicholas! We will be playing around with some finer tweeds in future collections. Stay tuned!

Josh; Assuming this is the curated model we were trying earlier this year? We weren't happy with that model, since stylist were curating the products that were being sent out. The model now is totally different ( I hate using the word ... but yes, we have pivoted). Now we are working with designers and manufacturing everything ourselves ... email me at nav[at]seat14a.com and more than happy to hook you up.

Thanks! Actually since winter is going (opo GOT ;) ... we decided to go with one warmer look, ended up going with the tweed blazer. Our next look is totally different and in-fact is an ensemble with pants; if you signed up you should be notified soon ( collection 1 is selling out so expect that one next week). Future collections should be more complete from an ensemble perspective - we just have to balance cost/price and value in these early stages.

Thanks! We have a handfull of partners right now and are growing the list at present to shoes, leathers ... etc. Yea we will be baking in a detailed sizing graph soon. Right now you can get collection 1 custom tailored for only $50 ( it's an option on the checkout page).

Thanks! Is there an example of something similar you have seen out there that works (wrt to the indicator, purchase button)? Also we are right now A/B testing with the progress bar colors / buttons (Red, Green, Blue and Black).

We were debating this internally as well. Thinking about changing the background to black and text to white.

Actually we decided to redirect the /learnmore to index, was rendering horribly on tablets. Thanks for pointing it out!

We will be baking in a detailed sizing chart soon. The chart will also have the closest analogy interms of fitting wrt size to a popular brand ( Zara, Armani ..etc). In terms of returned inventory - donations were one of the routes we were thinking.

For /learnmore or seat14a.com ? Thanks!

Our first collection is up at seat14a.com

Thanks! You can purchase the first collection at seat14a.com right now. ( also you have the option of having it custom tailored).

Hello HN:

Quick overview: We're a group of friends with design, tech and fashion backgrounds that came from all over the world to build Seat14a.com out of New Delhi, India. ( a place that we have fallen in love with btw)

We're still very early ( we just launched our first collection a few days ago), but the premise of the idea is simple. We connect consumers to designers affordably by working directly with designers and our manufacturers to come up with micro-collections (currently only for men). We have the micro-collection up for about 2 weeks or till it's sold out; during which time we provide our distribution partners with real-time analytics ( purchase velocity, geo, etc.) so they can make informed buy decisions.

Few things to note:

- A different designer every 2 weeks (no house look) - Free shipping to anywhere in the world.

We'd love to get your thoughts on our concept and our first collection.

PS: If in Delhi, do get in touch - we'll show you around, chat about fashion + Tech and of course have some chai (not the latte).

Much love,

Nav, Jas, Adi, T-dawg ( founders@seat14a.com )

Thanks! It should be up and working now.

Sd - Subtle Disruption | New Delhi / Remote

At Sd we are designers, engineers and aesthetes working on products aimed at uncovering latent needs and desires. We aspire to develop a model that sits at the intersection of disciplines and brings together great people from all over to build interesting companies. We believe innovation often charts its own path and we thus adjust ourselves accordingly by being experimental and lean in our approach.

Our ideas seem not bound by verticals or geographies. We are light–packers, risk takers and tend to be driven a bit differently. We are made up of not employees, rather co–founder caliber individuals. We are school, degree and work experience agnostic. What is important to us is: integrity, energy/personality and intelligence (in that order) to apply please visit http://subtledisruption.com . You can also follow us at http://twitter.com/sdisruption

Wishing the HNews community a very happy and prosperous 2013!

Currently on our form we are just taking US and Canada. But we are more than welcome to cater to international patrons (http://screencast.com/t/07dH4rgYS9kj), if interested please shoot us an email at consulate@seat14a.com and a curator/stylist will directly reach out and take care of your order.

Noted. Thanks!

1). Most of our posts are visual, so a grid theme made the most sense here.

2). The ensembles are volume based (magazine like), the curent volume is the HK Hipster (for right now our only volume) so the styling will be similar to what you see on the website. A user chooses a base ensemble and then they work with their stylist who then figures out the material, colors and sizing. Typically no 2 ensembles are the same.

Hope that helps and thanks for your feedback.

Done. Thanks. www.seat14a.com

To clarify. There is no buy in. In no point of the game do you actually use your credit card, cash, sheep's wool or any form of a tradable commodity to buy-in.

Legality:

No buy-in using your credit card. No independent wagers on a specific match-up.

Scarves are actually very utilitarian in Delhi. They protect you from the dust and heat while travelling in say an Auto-Rickshaw.

ahh. Fair. Def. look us up in a month or two, we are planning to open this up to more locales and perhaps there will be a look that might gell. Thanks again for looking into the site and for your feedback, you're awesome!

Coupon Code will expire in 3 days.

What would be your ideal ensemble? This will help us with future ensembles (eg. Peru for Autumn 2012). Thanks much!

Just checked. Seems to be working fine, are you getting an error on any particular page? Or on http://seat14a.com ?

Our photo based journal as we travel- http://blog.seat14a.com and as a thank you to the HN Community from our side the coupon code "HACKERNEWS", brings the price for the Summer 2012 ensemble down to $99

^Total plug by the older brother :p

Creative! What type of opportunities are you looking for?
