Dear customers and citizens of Styleforum,

You may have noticed a lacking amount of presence from Connor and I in this thread. There is a good reason. My partner Carol is 18 weeks pregnant. Much of my time and effort has been placed toward preparing for a happy family and developing long term business plans for nSuited!

Here is an overview of what we have in the works:

• We’ve started construction on additional warehouse space which doubles our capacity
• We have over 1000 new items in inventory which we are readying to offer to you
• We’re planning some great sales starting with coupon code “babyshower” giving 35% off any purchase (I need to raise funds for the baby)!
• We’re exploring the possibility of crowd-funding import lots with dividends for participants

As many of you may know, Connor and I became acquainted and started work on nSuited because of our involvement in Styleforum’s own Thrifting Thread. Funds for initial buys for nSuited were raised directly from thrifting profits! In addition to expanding nSuited, we are also looking for ways to expand our pre-owned clothing efforts.

We see two gaps in the current market:

• Funds and infrastructure to bridge hobbyist thrifters to become professional freelancers
• Location independent buying of high-end men’s clothing

The first problem is one which Connor and I have faced continuously for the past 2 years. As a hobbyist thrifter our revenue was limited by available buying funds, and limited selling capacity. This meant that profitable items were left on shelves of thrift stores. We plan to create a contract-thrifter program in which we provide hobbyist thrifters with buying funds, expert buying advice, and nearly unlimited listing infrastructure provided by our Kansas City warehouse.

Additionally, we plan to initiate an easy to use online buying service. This will allow customers looking to clear out some of their wardrobe to easily receive fair payment for their clothing. You will be able to easily provide us with basic information about your clothing, receive a quote, and receive cash or credit toward nSuited items for your unneeded wardrobe items.

Both of these services are months away from formal completion, but please feel free to contact us if you are interested in participating in either prior to official launch!

We really need to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of our customers and anyone involved in the Styleforum community. This started as a fun hobby for us with business secondary. You’ve allowed this to remain fun and rewarding for us. I hope we can continue to reward all of you with great products!


Cheers from the nSuited Team,

Matt and Connor

Major Congrats on the new family.

I'd definitely be interested in crowdsourced importing! I've seen so many lots on ebay etc for 200 Kiton jackets or whatever that were pretty reasonable if you got 100 backers.

Alright fellas, need some ideas for valentines day. What do you thrifty dudes doing for your special ones?

My wife and I have adopted a ten buck thrift eachother a gift rule. We go together, split up, thrift eachother a gift for ten bucks and have to hide it from eachother at checkout. So much fun. She loves thrifting as much as I do, so its totally a blast. Love me my woman.

(18 inches of snow to dig out)

This is AFTER 2 hours of digging.

The only answer to this question:

Make me a res, bro!

Oh my GOD I love Brazilian...everything. But that bread is the ******* bomb.

I've only felt an earthquake once and that was in Uganda. That was wild.

What were you doing in Uganda?

--- So I thrifted in my closet today. @IanErickson you want to give up that Levis jacket now?
