DressMonkeys Stand Up And Be Heard

Our launch is creating quite a buzz amongst future DressMonkeys of the world! Check out what's being said so far:

Oh man, I had to take a quick peek at "The Monkey," but I can't wait to take some real time and dig into the website. I'm pumped and can't wait to order my first vintage monkey blazer!
Love the site!! sooooo gonna keep checking out the sight and spreading the word!!!
Nice job on the site. Once you get the commercial website ready, shoot me an email and I'll stick it in the magazine... as long as you can ship to Japan!

DMNK: Shipping to Japan isn't the issue. The difficulty will be convincing Japan's youth culture to buy a DressMonkey. Frankly, where do we even begin with them?

Congrats man!!!! The first picture on the page is hilarious. Good luck with everything!
Great idea- I hope you aren't using sweatshops. All those young hipster post irony buy-suits-off-websites-advertised with coley-dressed-as-Dieter types are into ethical supply chain certification these days. Corporate social responsibility is the new hookers and blow.
A brilliant start, super logo, great tilt that makes business fun again. aah, for youth and good looks. Best wishes for continued very cool endeavor.

DMNK: Coley will trade you (or anybody) his youth and good looks if you send him a package of English muffins, lucky charms cereal and dunkin doughnuts coffee.

Looks really good - the visual as well as the story of you and Coley. It's a great blog and is memorable. I'll pass the word to those that I can.
I like the idea and I can relate first hand you some of your in insight on China and it’s fascinating (sometimes bizarre) culture. I will definitely peruse the DressMonkey e-commerce site when it’s up. Good Luck.
Go Monkey Go!
The site looks so good. Especially the honey in the skanky blue dress. how much did you pay her to take the pic with you?

DMNK: The girl in the skanky blue dress initially wanted a part of the company for the picture. I said hell no, but offered her a part of the man behind the company. She said hell yes.

This is SOOOO AMAZING! You really should really write a press release, talk with someone from the New York Times and get DRESS MONKEY on the front cover of the New York Times Styles section! Really! I think it's a really interesting concept you've got.

DMNK: Anyone know of anyone at NYT?

Nice work jeff! keep me updated...if they are not too expensive, i'd love to get a blazer for my husband once that part of your site is ready to go:)
One day some celebrity will be walking down the red carpet at the Oscars and some reporter will ask, "Who are you wearing?" and this famous celebrity will look right into the camera and proclaim "I am wearing DressMonkey." Sweet.

DMNK: Cool. But we reserve the right not to sell a blazer to Tom Cruise.

"I was exploring your web-site and its quite interesting and if you tell me some less complicated words about what exactly u're doing it could be great. What are your plans on this business? is it really that serious or its just a short-term project? So exciting! Wishing you good luck and all the best."

DMNK: Full translation in Russian of our products and services coming soon...

Amusing site - hope it catches on.
"CONGRATULATIONS ON PHASE 1 - I ACTUALLY WENT INTO "DRESSMONKEY.COM" THE OTHER DAY JUST TO CHECK IF ANYTHING WAS HAPPENING YET. I KNOW OF 2 CUSTOMERS (THEY DON'T KNOW THEY'RE CUSTOMERS YET) WHO WILL BE ORDERING BLAZERS WHENEVER. LET US KNOW!"
"You guys are fucking legends! Total stars .... Your website is amazing .... well done and many congrats!! I will get round to reading it all and telling all my mates in Scotland!!"
Welcome back and kudos on your endeavour. Big fan of the web page and of course the lotion shot!
You may want to stress each of your affinity for women at the beginning. Otherwise the whole company may seem more like a reason for the founders to screw each other than run a legitimate business. I know that's not true, but you lose the benefit of the doubt when you go into fashion. The first picture doesn't help either. :-) Yet I admire your entrepreneurship.

DMNK: Point well taken. Ignore our questionable tendencies and just admire our entrepreneurship.

Yes...a blazer from DressMonkey.com is a GREAT idea! Congrats on the new venture, can't wait to see the goods!
I will definitely check it out and pass it on!

Comments

The idea is right on. F*ck GQ and their mix-up tactics. Just give me some real options that look good. I'll be following your progress and spreading the word, biatches. Sorry for cursing but I feel strongly.

Your passion for blazers and anit-establishment stance have earned you a spot in the next round of quality testing, MMM3 - the Final Chapter (working on the name, I'm thinking either that or MMM3 - Blaze(r) of Glory). Imani, we salute you.
