Hey HN, OP here. This is the first MVP of a project I'm working on. Please feel free to ask any questions - I'll be lurking here for a while to try to be as helpful as possible!
I did an internship once with Schlumberger in a field base for a month. I bought more than 30 socks and boxers because I didn't want to be washing mine so I thought I'd just wear it, then wear another and then bash was them or use them for something else.
I also brought a lot of t-shirts (since we would wear coveralls, they were just causal t-shirts).
I didn't know they would cater to us the way they did and my clothes ended up being washed (you just had to leave it in a special net they provide, and someone would pick it and wash it) so I ended up having a lot of clean socks and boxers and shirts oh my.
Bear in mind that when I'm home, I wash my own clothes by hand because they are nice fabrics and would never put them in a machine or at the dry cleaner. But it would be nice to have some casual clothes you could change rapidly.
If this were for high-end suits and shirts, then maybe. But there's nothing difficult about buying and laundering a bunch of jeans and solid t-shirts. (Jeans shouldn't be washed that often anyway.)
From a marketing perspective, I do like the "I would pay ____ for a casual subscription."
PS - "Receive at your door" has a typo in "Receive."
PPS - Another reason this shouldn't be done with jeans: Like a baseball cap, they eventually take shape to fit the wearer, which is why your "ol' pair of jeans" feels so comfortable.
To address your first point, I think the hassle of washing clothes, getting rid of old clothes and buying new clothes varies greatly by lifestyle. I guess I'm trying to figure out how many others like me there are out there!

Interesting idea man.
