If your stuff is always to be found on sale...where's the value? D2C or no. I can only imagine the cost of returns and exchanges for this. Soft goods are tough, ladies clothing is even tougher. Hard goods, like wheels, are a little better
Not sure what the panic is all about...1 or 2 less tanks of fuel for the Gulfstream per month of a certain walmart heir and it's all good. Wondering if Bentonville ever loses money?

I'm sure a big part of their losses are accounting losses tied to the sale of the business. That's how PE and LBOs work.
Rapha Core bibs have become by far my favorites. I bought 2 pairs at $100 instead of $130 retail, but I'd easily pay $130 for them after using them for a year.
