Wifey mad at Kuiu

[Mtnwalker]

Ohhh man, the ol' lady is not happy with Kuiu. She's been hoping for a ladies line for quite a while. Not to mention that has been her go-to for most of my recent birthdays and such, which I don't mind a bit. Looks like she may be boycotting them now

I can see why he doesn't want to make clothes for fat people, but I don't see why he won't make clothes for women. They're the fastest growing segment of new hunters & he's missing a market opportunity, I think.

They cant even keep up with their current demand.

Believe me,"my better half" cornered Jason on a recent trip to her place of employment about Kuiu and lack of accommodation to the woman hunter. They had a very good discussion about it and she accepted his reasoning and continues to be happy wearing the current men's line. Kuiu can cover there entire line of mens clothing with a third of the sizes it would take to cover a womans line. As for me Im sticking with sitka for now.

I totally understand his reasoning, I'm just surprised he said it like that.

I don't know that hes the kind of guy to sugar coat anything lmao, I respect the guy hes created a great product designed around mountain hunting. How many chubby and fat guys do you see climbing a 12k' peak after a ram or billy? Im a chubby guy and hunt hunt my ass off and I dont take offense to what he said. I can really tell you his clothes dont fit chubby guys I have tried to make them work his clothing line is closer to European sizes than US too.

I'm surprised Sitka doesn't already have women's clothes.

I'm a fat guy... and kuiu will never get my business after that comment.  Obviously not very business savvy.  Sometimes better to just keep your mouth shut.  I actually can wear their stuff but won't now....  You don't have to be hiking 12,000 ft peaks on goat hunts to wear quality clothing.  I will still k with my sitka!! 

[lewy]

He's got plenty of customers as is, don't think he cares. I like his attitude, don't like it don't buy it, pretty simple

I don't care for the guy (I do love his clothes), but I think he is very business savvy. His company has more than doubled in size each year. He does it with no investors, or he could be growing even faster.

[kentrek]

He just wants profit, he couldn't have the same margin of profit with a womans line....he's a business man....but it's very interesting to word it they way he did....women can't be inspirational I guess ? 

[Reidus]

Would you rather have womens line and pay $200 for the attack pants or leave it as is?

[Oh Mah]

why does it have to be gender specific is all i have on this.My wife wears the same stuff as me in kuiu.what some wont wear it if it doesn't have pink?what on it says man anyway?
