Hey I'm a founder. We actually just started picking up real Big & Tall sizing within past 2 months. Still gathering data on how B&T fits guys' bodies, but learning a lot.

And don't forget that the larger sizes from vendors vary widely. A Ralph Lauren (black/purple) xl, xlb, xlt, 2xlt and 2xlb fit very different torso shapes and that's just one manufacturer.
Also, monthly auto-clothing deliveries implies a level of replacability for the profitable clothes that would lead me to think they'd look good for a limited amount of time and that quality fabrics and tailoring would be limited. Which then makes me think they're not targeting people with standards and taste so much as people who do not want to think about clothes and that wouldn't be something I'd want to use.

Respectfully disagree, our goal is to establish a lifetime relationship with our customers, not churn-and-burn them out within first 3 months. If we sent clothes that fell apart people would stop using us.
We want users to come back to us for their wardrobe needs whenever they find they need them. That's why we built the product to be flexible, so you can schedule your next shipment when you want, or even pause indefinitely.
Biggest size? 2x. I haven't been able to comfortably fit into a 2x shirt since my freshman year of high school. My shoulders prohibit that, and even if they didn't, a non-tall shirt is not going to be of use to anyone over 6'3".
