Confession time: when Greg asked me if I was wearing StepOne's in the interview, i suggested I was.. He took me off guard and I was trying to be nice.

Truth is, i'd never worn a pair.

So, following the interview, I bought some online.

The experience in terms of ordering, messaging and delivery was all fantastic.

And the undies? yeah, I get it now. I dont think i'll be going back to the kmart 8-pack anytime soon.

I don't hold shares (although that might change), and certainly not trying to suggest others should, but just offering some customer feedback.

I do wonder how easily others copy what they've done -- it's hard to spot a moat here. But as @mushroompanda said "sometimes it only takes being 1% better here, and another 1% better there, and it adds up to become and multi-year growth story. How did Under Armour, Hoka shoes, or Lululemon become success stories in highly saturated markets? Did they have a clearer moat when they were fledgling companies?"

Quant funds obviously saw the @Strawman purchase in the alternative data today and is pushing the price to 52 week highs.

Ha! I bought some online yesterday too after I watched the interview. His enthusiasm is contagious. When living in North America I found some Jockey grundies I love that I always get people to pick up for me when they are travelling over there to bring back home. For some reason this particular design aren't available under the Jockey label in Australia. Interestingly they are pretty much the same blend of fabric that Step One use so will give them a go and if I like them it will save the hassle of badgering someone to pick up more for me.
