This should be a software product that works with hand held Lidar 3D scanners or Apples Lidar. Then you could scan yourself at home, pick the materials, send the info to a costume suit production line, then they'll make the suit the same way that custom order cars are made. Of course the ultra rich wouldn't be the target market. It would make custom suits affordable for the rest of us
Of course they did not. They are millionaires who totally lost touch to the life usual people have. They rejected so many products because they don't understand needs and markets for (from their perspective) poor people.
Did you miss the part where they explained that a $40,000 a year salary gets the best measurer in the business & therefore the cost of this machine have to be higher because most measurers are cheaper than this machine & faster than this machine in doing an identical job?
@@mehere8038 That only works if you don't intend on being in business for more than a year. Over 10 years that tailor will cost 400K, plus sick leave and holiday. The scanner is a one off cost and doesn't need breaks or holidays and won't call in sick.
Exactly this. I work in the city and if one of these turned up in the lobby of our building, they'd probably get 200 orders at a 500 pound price point. That's hugely cheaper than a West end tailor.
John should have brought in another vegan eco sustainable coffee brand, he would have got immediate investment. Seriously, DD used to be full of interesting inventions and genuine new businesses and products like this, now it's just the same thing over and over and over.
Nothing wrong with this at all. Quick and convenient. If u want to take your time and be pampered that's your choice. Theo is basically saying 'if I'm buying suits from you and spending a fortune, I want you to suck up to me'
Mayhap they should try to pal up with airport security. Leave on holiday after going though - and you can pick up a “whistle” from the arrivals hall when you get back
Same reason companies used to pay me to hand dig stuff To get a machine there takes hire and transport costs. Then money to take the digger away and you also need someone to drive it and another guy to watch the machine.
They really show their true colours with the comments they make. Would love to see an entrepreneur reply to an investor who went out well that's good because I wouldn't want to be in business with you
So… do you need to be in underwear? So the business pop up shop they have to take off what they’re wearing first? Seems impractical in that environment.
BS, the military don't use that! I go into the clothing store at the Quatermasters and ask for my size. Normally get the wrong size back. Haha, yeah nice try mate
oh so of course if YOUR military do that, all branches of the military all over the globe MUST do the same thing & none could possibly be using a machine like this right?

Sounds like a plan, I’m in. Where do I sign up? How much do you need and what % haha
This wasnt invented when that technology or even apps were a big thing.
This was actually a really interesting and unique idea for the time it came out!
Yeah! And just under ten fousand in the last mumf.
Did Duncan really need to be that rude?
They didn't discuss the cost of the scan suits with that of the conventional product ... if it is half the cost, then that is a new customer base

@@ryanturner2559but you still have to pay an employee to work the machine for the customers
He is still in business and doing very well actually!
Hes a bum
You and him are mentally sick
@@johnsmeaton6375your sat inside on a Friday night commenting hate on a dragons den vid, so what are you?
@@localshopkeeper9517 1 little comment of 3 words and you get so butthurt, calm down
Spoiler alert.
John look likes he's about to cry
Bless him
Chris is packing! 😅😂
;p

This is a very old episode…
Lol
@@kichoojkexactly. Was good when it was like this. Nowadays is all skincare brands, healthy snacks, nothing interesting
Yeah it used to be... Except this episode is from 2010, but people really just like to hate and say 'things were better before'
Really miss this music

Fits his character.
Working in software and embedded systems, I can say that this was and is impressive
nice pic
@@AdamBechtol 😘
So you get measured by a £40k machine then tell the tailor you want your trousers longer and your sleeves longer etc.ect. what is the point ?
Quick and doesnt have the hastle of the small talk.
Mayhap they should try to pal up with airport security. Leave on holiday after going though - and you can pick up a “whistle” from the arrivals hall when you get back
LOL
Lil' Debs looks good!!
Peter’s answer was spot on
Same reason companies used to pay me to hand dig stuff
To get a machine there takes hire and transport costs. Then money to take the digger away and you also need someone to drive it and another guy to watch the machine.
Can get a custom suit in Thailand for $200
kinda irrelevant if you live in London though.
And how much does a return flight to Thailand cost?
You can't compare quality for quality, fabric for fabric, tailoring skill for tailoring skill.
Right now, but back then?
And a ladyboy 😂
They really show their true colours with the comments they make. Would love to see an entrepreneur reply to an investor who went out well that's good because I wouldn't want to be in business with you
that’s called “sour grapes” and it’s not a good look
I'de scan Chris.
:p
Maybe I can pitch a similar idea with X-rays 😂
well hello Chris ❤
The sharks are really often living in the past, their age can be seen and heard the longer the show goes on
Theos' synopsis does not make sense - the fact that he sells them proves that there is a market.
Can we see more of Chris please?
They're a bunch of party poopers😂😂😂
Deborah was encourages.. It's just not scalable mate
You are yes.
Does Chris have a stack of the dragon's money in his pants?
These dragons are always wining and complaining
The last 1 was years before that like 2012
And
White safe, did scan.
Why does Peter a;ways do the -all I need to do is splash my cash around and do exactly what you’ve done.
aw he looks like he’s about to cry on the way out. don’t beat yourself up, John, _someone_ will buy your suits!
Lol

he made milions !!!!
