Welcome to anyone who’s new here! I’m building the world’s best life and golf apparel in traditional forms using natural fibers instead of plastics, produced 100% domestically in the USA. I’ve stumbled into this in hilarious ways but I’m having the time of my life doing it. The Design Philosophy: Simple is better. Quality should speak for itself. Keep it classy and traditional. The Problem With Big Brands: Most big brands operate at around 70% gross margins. Those margins allow them to wholesale, retail, carry excess inventory, discount product, and still be profitable even if they do not sell through everything. It also forces them to be constantly lowering costs and quality and offshoring production. I call this “the race to the bottom.” Prices go up, quality goes down. That model requires bloated pricing and overproduction. I am not interested in that. I believe in making fewer things better. I don’t have massive overhead and I don’t care about scale or size. The Arnie Model: I care about reasonable prices and uncompromising quality. So we do small limited releases. We pre sell each batch. We deliver in 4 to 6 weeks. This allows me to know exactly what to produce. Which sizes. Which colors. How many units. No guessing. No excess. No waste. That is the Arnie Margin. I make a fair return. You get a product at a big discount to what a Big Brand would charge for comparable quality. How It Works: Because we produce domestically and I purchase raw materials up front, capacity is limited. That is why we operate through an email list. When an order window opens, original buyers receive a password first and get 48 hours of early access. Then the password goes to the broader email list. Then the site opens to the public. On our last run we sold out in just under a week. I expect the next one to move even faster as the first wave of product lands and people see it is legitimate. What We Believe: At Arnie McNair, customers are not transactions. They are friends. We believe in win win. We believe in handshakes. We believe in transparency and trust. We believe in old school American business. I am available in the DMs. We work things out directly, man to man. What’s Ahead: The goal this year is 6 to 8 total releases. Small batches. Done right. If you are here, thank you for stopping by, buying, or even considering supporting. -Arnie
