In the past month or so on Facebook I've seen interesting ads for a men's clothing service that would send you a like an outfit a month and I also saw one for a food service that would send you ingredients and a recipe for a meal.
Both services were significantly flawed which is a shame because otherwise they would be getting my money on a recurring basis.

The clothes service would send pants, but you'd have to get the pants altered to the right length. Great, so every month I'd have to get a random pair of pants altered to my length. How does that make sense?
The food service only allows you to do 3 meals a week. At $10 per person per meal, that's $60 a week and I have no idea how good the service is, nor do we really have time to cook 3 meals a week. Why not offer an option for 1 meal a week?

Do they not test these services out on real people before going live?

I have 3-4 friends who swear by Blue Apron food service like that. I've seen the food it looks amazing. I'm sure sure what the service you saw was, though.

uh do they sell pants that you don' t have to get altered? I've never bought a pair that didn't need a visit to a tailor

Unless you are getting your pants custom made you probably do get (or should be getting) your clothes altered (or doing it yourself). Pants in particular. Unless you are unspeakably lucky, of course.

I have no problems finding jeans or khakis that fit me sans alteration. Tamara, Blue Apron was the food service.

I can't imagine getting my pants hemmed one a month, I've done it like three times in my entire life, and not willingly.

Seriously? Gentlemen, gentlemen, alterations are important and (with very little work) cheap! *sends Clinton Kelly in your general direction*

Huh. Haven't had to have pants altered (other than suit pants) in years and years. Either lucky or because some places offer a wide range of fairly precise inseam sizes. Admittedly, I don't wear fancy or expensive pants (or jeans, but that's a separate issue): Pretty much all Lands End and LL Bean at this point.

All the slacks I buy come with an uncut leg. You have to get them altered unless you're like 7 feet.

Regarding slacks, I agree, Jeff. Most of the pants I'd get from http://www.fivefourclothing.com/club... would be khakis or jeans though.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Well the jeans I buy only come in one inseam which is much too long for me so I have to get them altered.
