Some of you know of me and my clothing company Lastwear.
We are about to try something that I don't believe has been done before for a physical product.
We're offering a limited run of pay what you like clothes.

Here are the details.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ok, since we're a little late, we’ll run this till August 31st.

Here’s how it will work.
If you want to get one of the pay what you like Pinkertons or Teasdales
Send an email orders@lastwear.com with “Pay what you like vest” as the title line.
The information we’ll need is as follows,

Pinkerton

Chest measurement just below the arms in inches. Don’t forget to breath in deeply.
Waist measurement in inches measured just above the top of the pelvis.

Teasdale

Undebust - measure around the chest just below your bosom. Breath in.
If you plan on wearing a bra with your Teadale, measure with the bra on as the under-wire will change your measurement.
Waist measurement in inches measured just above the top of the pelvis.
High hip - mesure around your hips right at the hip bone.

----

If you have an unusually shaped body, put on some tight fitting clothes and have a friend take front, back and side shots and attach them to the email.

Once we have received your email we will check your measurements and confirm whether or not we can make a vest in your size. Then you’ll send us what you think the vest is worth via paypal.

Limit is 1 garment per customer.

Available colors: Dark brown ONLY. Don’t even think of asking for another color in conjunction with this offer ;)

Delivery schedule:
Controlling costs for these garments means we cant afford to start making them until all orders are in. Production will therefore begin Sept 1st.
Delivery will be 4 to 6 weeks later.

Pricing.

The Base Price for the Pinkerton will be $45
The base price for the Teasdale will be $40
Shipping for both will be $15

That amount covers the cost of the fabric, the buttons and what the factory charges us for cutting and sewing. That’s it.
That means if you pay $45 for the Pinkerton we make $0 - the cost of our time/labor taking the order and packaging it up.
Our hope is that enough of you will pay more than $45 so that those people who can only afford $45 can still get one and we won’t lose money doing it.
If this goes well and we actually make a little money we will continue to offer a new style/color of clothing, at a pay what you like price, every other month.

--------------------------------------------------

At the very least, I'd certainly be interested in peoples feedback on this as an idea.

Thanks,

Thom. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252205#Comment_252205 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252205#Comment_252205 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:29:02 -0700 Oddcult http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252209#Comment_252209 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252209#Comment_252209 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:47:23 -0700 Thom B. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252217#Comment_252217 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252217#Comment_252217 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:48:15 -0700 Dmitri http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252229#Comment_252229 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252229#Comment_252229 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:13:54 -0700 Finagle

Maybe if you combined the Pinkerton waistcoat with the Teasdale corsetry it might hold my stomach in a bit though.
Alternatively, when are the Chestertons going to be available. I see them mentioned on the site as the alternative to a Pinkerton for those with a belly, but I don't see them actually listed. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252454#Comment_252454 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252454#Comment_252454 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:42:04 -0700 emsie http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252471#Comment_252471 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252471#Comment_252471 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:17:24 -0700 lexmachine http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252474#Comment_252474 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252474#Comment_252474 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:39:14 -0700 Thom B.
@ stsparky - It depends on the garment. Currently I have the Pinkerton/Chesterton graded to fit a maximum 50" chest and 52" waist measurement.
The Steeplejacks are graded out to a 62" waist (although I haven't had a pair made in that size so I need to check that nothing weird happens when they're sewn up at that large a size).

@Kradlum - The Chestertons are available and fit up to a maximum 50" chest and 52" waist. We have a few in stock (not sure why they aren't on Etsy) email me your measurements and I'll let you know if we have any in your size.

@everyone - wow, thanks for the support folks! I'm really happy to see that people dig this idea. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252476#Comment_252476 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252476#Comment_252476 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:41:05 -0700 warrenellis http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252477#Comment_252477 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=252477#Comment_252477 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:54:13 -0700 Thom B.

@ trini_naenae, on the medium size Teasdale the armhole falls about 2 1/2" down the side-seam from the armpit, the total armhole circumference measurement is 20"
That is to say, it's not a very tight fit and is designed to easily accommodate a wide sleeved shirt. I expect you will find the fit to be just fine as is.

@ ruzkin, Thanks! Not sure whether you mean the Amber Guard Hoodie (as modeled by Mr. Sizer) or the Story teller hoodie.
Either way, the answer would be yes, we have plans toward a similar garment in the future. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=253057#Comment_253057 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8639&Focus=253057#Comment_253057 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:58:39 -0700 ruzkin
