What inspired you all to create this company?
I remember my immigrant father saying, ‘American dress shirts don’t fit me.” My Asian friends had the same issue of where the industry “slim fit” was still too large so I created an actually slim fit.

What distinguishes your company and product in the market?
We have unique, actually-slim sizes for our dress shirts with a trimmed shirt & sleeve length, chest & back/shoulder. As Asian-American founders, our products are inspired by our Asian culture.”
