ScotteVest Corporate Office

The ScotteVest was founded in Chicago, Illinois, by Scott Jordan in 2000. Jordan found that most jackets had only two pockets, which were not enough for all of his tech devices.

The ScotteVest is similar to a fisherman’s vest, but with more pockets, designed for holding a wide range of items, such as cell phones, small tablets, business cards, and eReaders. Some styles have 42 compartments.

Other designs incorporate flexible, detachable solar panels, designed to be used to charge gadgets, as well as seams that allow headphones to be threaded through them, preventing hanging cables from being caught on door handles or other items.

In December of 2013, the company estimated sales would hit $10 million, most of it from their website.

In January 2018, Jordan made a Facebook post stating that he advertised on Fox News because their viewers were “extremely gullible and f***ing idiots.” Jordan later removed the post.

Jordan has made new airline baggage fees a big selling point, stating that if you pack correctly, you can get by with one check on bag, your carry on, and one of his vests.

Headquarters for ScotteVest are located in Ketchum, Idaho.

Poshmark Corporate Office

Poshmark was founded by Manish Chandra, Tracy Sun, Gautam Golwala, & Chetan Pungaliya in 2011. The company operates a mobile phone app which allows users to sell their gently used items and ship them to customers anywhere in the US.

Poshmark takes a 20% commission from items sold. Sellers can have their accounts suspended or completely removed from the site if they take sales offline or to a competitor. While some people have claimed to make several thousand dollars in a single month, (with one seller hitting $1 million in sales) others say that a lack of ratings or feedback from buyers leaves clients open to fraud.

Poshmark stated in August 2018 that sellers had made a combined income of $1 billion since the app was introduced.

Currently, the app is only for US users, but that might change in the future. Company headquarters are located in Redwood City, California.

La La Ling Corporate Office

La La Ling calls itself a baby lifestyle boutique, not just a baby and kids clothing store. Founded in 2004 by Ling Chan, the company has become “the” place for celebrities and hip Los Angeles mothers to outfit their children.

What makes La La Ling different? In addition to the usual baby and children’s clothing, the store offers stock bedding, furnishings, hand-picked artwork for the nursery, and personalized gifts. La La Ling offers a personal shopping service, which can help customers put together the perfect baby shower gift.

The company is a partner of the LA Baby Show, which highlights the latest in kids items. More than simply infant and toddler items, the store also has items, including toys and furnishings, up to age 10.

The founder of La La Ling, Ling Chan, decided to look in a new direction and sold her store to her two employees, Celine Vacher & Kara Homsey, in 2012. In April 2015, La La Ling introduced their first original designs which have since become their best selling items.

Corporate office headquarters is located in Los Angeles, California.

Uptown Cheapskate Corporate Office

Uptown Cheapskate was founded by Scott and Chelsea Sloan in 2008. This brother and sister team learned a lot about resale from helping out at their parent’s franchise Kid to Kid. When Chelsea realized that she had some very upscale business clothing that she no longer wore, she decided to open her own store, and later, with some help from her brother, another family franchise, only this one aimed at adult clothing and accessories.

The company buys, sells, trades, and cosigns clothing, shoes, and other gently used items from consumers for resale. Within 8 months, the company was turning a profit and had opened a second location.

Uptown Cheapskate works for both buyers and sellers in that sellers earn money for clothing that would otherwise simply be taking up space, with buyers receiving quality, name-brand clothing for far less than new items cost.

In November 2022, Uptown Cheapskate opened its 3rd Austin, Texas, location.

Uptown Cheapskate currently has more than 40 locations in 17 states and has headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Tommy John Corporate Office

After being laid off from his sales job in the 2008 recession, Tom Patterson decided to be/do/make something different. He remembered that many successful people today made their fortune simply by “building a better mousetrap.” Patterson thought that one of the things that annoyed him as a salesman was the “fabric gut” from his underwear. He decided to redesign men’s underwear.

He searched for the perfect fabric and had a tailor make the original 15 pairs by hand. He gave them out to friends and asked for honest feedback. Once he believed he had the perfect fabric and fit, Patterson and girlfriend/partner Erin Fujimoto moved to San Diego for manufacturing.

Today, the company sells their products at some of the finest retailers in the US, including Nordstrom, Saks, and Neiman Marcus. In just 5 years, revenue has surpassed the million dollar mark.

Patterson isn’t planning on stopping at men’s underwear but wants to continue to make improved products for men’s socks, robes, and pajamas. The company began producing women’s underwear and camisoles in early 2018.

By 2016, the company states that it had sold more than 2 million pairs of men’s underwear and had their products in more than 500 stores. The company also has an extensive e-commerce site.

Company headquarters are now located in New York, New York.
