Great work and I hope to become a paying customer soon!
> It could never be commercially viable, so released something similar.
Apparel is about scale. You can make a great tee, but fewer people will pay $100 versus $30, so finding a balance is necessary. Cotton can age well, but the trade-offs (fiber blends, uneven yarn, spirality resistance, no ribbed neck) often show in tees under $50.
Buck Mason makes great tees. Our flagship tees use 100% American-grown Supima Cotton and are similar in weight to their classic Pima ones.
The Heavy Crew is closer to their Field Tee— ours is likely not as heavy but softer and more durable due to twisting two fine cotton yarns into one before knitting. They’re made in our own facility in Southern India.
I’ve been refining our fabrics for nearly ten years to get the best fit and feel, sticking with cotton for its comfort. More on our fabrics here: https://www.marchtee.com/us/difference
Thanks for commenting on the checkout! We’re gradually rolling out stateside, so any feedback is welcome—just reply to the order email anytime.
Essentially combining the softness of fine count cotton with the weight and durability of a heavier garment.
Also a lot of ERP, warehouse, UI work and fun with Cursor.
March manufacturers and sells a quality t-shirt. It is the Levis for tees in our region.
We have a lean Flask and Postgres system serving as an e-commerce backend with 5-8M daily requests. The actual inventory and finance data is synced to a proper ERP.
I'm looking an experienced battle bruised CTO who can help make our stack simpler and cost effective.
Time split: 50% PR reviews, designing, 30% writing code, 20% ops/automation. Tech-wise, we want to invest in whatever makes our UX unique and delegate the rest of the software to hosted/self-hosted open source tools.

Photoview, photoprism and photostructure are the apps I shortlisted.
Google photos has great UX out of the box for RAW and general photos usage, but is garbage if you have a classically organized album/folder situation.
Fuji cameras are great for daily use and its hardware controls teach you how to take nicer stills.
Manufacturing a real product helped me learn about distribution and inventory– something I'd never be exposed to in tech.
Travel helps me reboot and think about whats really important.
A brain reboot. If you're into design or a minimal lifestyle or want to be inspired before creating a new thing. Easy to read.
All processors are required to do 3D Secure verification. Local processors have integration for NetBanking. International ones are card only but may have better developer experience. Apple Pay uses 3D Secure too but bypasses two-factor verfication by tokenization.
Reliability/sucess rate is no longer as big of a deal with most competent processors. We've found the need to build custom tooling and abuse data more important for the Indian ecosystem.
Unfortunately, study [1] shows that children who grow up in less wealthy households, know 18000 fewer words by the time they are 5 than a child that grows up in a wealthy family leaving a very clear disadvantage early on.
