What if you were an Apparel Brand and created your own "Kickstarter-like" app on your site, released a new product every Thursday, sold the pieces before you made them, and then manufactured only what you sold? For Mike Maher, Co-Founder & CEO at Taylor Stitch,  that's exactly what he and his Co-Founders did. But that's not all. Did you know that 85% of all apparel ends up in landfills? So Mike and his team have also set out to make sustainability one of their main directives by making clothes that last. Here's his story.
