Hey guys, thanks for hunting ;) I've been producing fashion all my life. Always wanted to create something unique and special that people love, with great quality, sustainable and fair. When I read Mark Zuckerberg's post about decision making and his idea of wearing the same t-shirt every day I was quite impressed. I thought ok what would I wear if i did the same thing? So I started to research which specific shirt Mark picked for himself. This lead me to Brunello Cucinelli who is an amazing fashion designer with a great hand for fabrics as well. Unfortunately you can't buy Mark's shirts in Brunello's store. So I decided to design and produce a replica that is as close to the original as possible. I was quite satisfied with the results and thought it would be quite cool to make them available to everyone who's interested. It definitely helped me to get a great start into the day and more important it really feels great when I wear it. If you have any questions feel free to ask them! I will hangout here on producthunt the whole day :) Klaus
it's not that hard to convert ;)

thanks guys, updated just after seeing your comments. :)
40 Euros for a grey t-shirt? Come on! You can go to the Gap, Uniqlo, or J Crew and get it for $15-$20. Uniqlo is probably $8-$10
that justifies 40 euros? Go to Everlane.com they sell Grey t-shirts for $16 their factories pay fair wages and treat workers well.
LOL Even if Elon Musk launches teleporting today, this is definitely my winner
Black shirts are better P.S. here's the original post on Facebook where Mark shows his closet full of grey shirts :) P.S.S. Never forget the t-shirt cannon

Grey is the new black :)
I will buy in black
no, blue shirts are. Gray is also cool though.

Love it. Some feedback for you. 1. Not mobile optimized? Table stakes these days. 2. CMS choice, you are selling a product. Go to shopify. There is a 'greatest for small inventories' theme sub category. Use one of those. (Attempts checking out....) Okay wow, that it's weird. You are using Shopify for checkout, bot not for the site CMS? Just spin up a separate shopify account separate from Vresh. The break in branding and domain will cause some people to likely abandon, decreasing conversion rates. 3. Marketing; your goal is to sell products with the project, bit there doesn't appear to be much in the way of any type of email ask as a down sell via a browser abandon pop-up. Opportunity to use something like fomo for some social proof. Take down the YouTube videos, use same clips but upload to your own wistia account so post YouTube credits/recommendations send people away from the site.
also. Your custom coded front end doesn't have some basic social meta tagging structures in place, when I try and pin the image to Pinterest for future reference, Pinterest widget doesn't pull any images to easily bookmark for later.
You can remove the post YouTube Related Videos-feature by adding ?rel=0 to the video URL.

awesome feedback, thanks, I will look into it
NP! It is an awesome project, can see it doing well. Depending on the success here, I think there might be a bigger opportunity to take this 'reverse engineer' wardrobe philosophies of celebrities/business people and sell them. You could likely roll this out for many other people. Great PR fodder. Great FB ad creative opportunity. Very curiosity inducing value prop that will get people checking things out.

let's discuss :)
Awesome! Do you have a picture of someone wearing the shirt? 😍
Maker
this is me wearing it ! I wish I would be in shape like Mark :) but at least I can wear something as comfortable:
Nice - looks like it has a good length at the bottom, something a lot of t-shirts struggle with
Maker
great attention to detail. I also really like the t-shirt bottom length and it was one of the first things I noticed regarding Mark's shirt.
Great! Uniqlo sells a very similar grey t-shirt for something like $5. I've owned / worn only grey crew neck t-shirts from Uniqlo for the past 2.5 years (with a few exceptions). Paying 40 euros for a tshirt seems steep.
was going to post the same. Uniqlo shirts are awesome. I wash and dry them as often as I want and they never move. Keep their color and their shape. Not sure why so many people are so positive about that shirt for 40euro. Also very surprised at the price Zuck pays his shirts. $400 each shirt? Seriously? That seems very against the supposed simplicity the man has...
another uniqlo plain grey/black t-shirts fan here ✋
there is more complexity, cost wizardry, supply chain tricks in your $5 shirt than in any $400 one. Fair trade, transparency and ethic are rarely cheap.
its about support and quality, craftsmanship. I'm sure you spend countless dollars on dumb stuff all the time, that you can find cheaper somewhere else.
Are you doing the Zuck hoodies next? #WinterIsComing
Maker
:) great idea, I'm on it.
Yes please. Make it a package deal like 2 hoodies and 10 shirts. I'd buy it today.
Now that I would buy! It would be cool to buy two shirts for the price of one
This is a cool tributel! Added Z-shirt and further "daily uniform" thoughts on Medium -
nice!! great article
Thank you 🙏 Swell looks really cool btw!
thanks man, appreciate that. 🐳
Reminds me of the H&M April Fools joke from a few years back:
I will have 10 of these, thank you very much.
