Chore Coat Report 005.

Our first batch is getting sewn and should be done any day.

In parallel, we found a company in Arizona that has an automatic cutter. We’re doing the first sample cut right here.

We’re still waiting on pricing, but if this works, we just solved a huge piece of this puzzle. It takes me about 45 min to cut out a coat now. This machine does it in 3 min.

I love seeing machines like this because this is the future of garment mfg in America - and how it could actually legit come back and be cheaper than stuff made overseas. I think we’re very very early in a new era where this slowly starts to become the reality and more and more possible. So long as entrepreneurs lean into it, invest, try and push this stuff forward.

This machine costs $250k right now. Could it not cost $10k or less in the next decade?
