  • Two rebellious city boys pitch 'Quiet Rebellion' - office underwear for men who constrained by business fashion. Alex Miles and Ini Weston seek an investment of £75,000 in return for 10%, but does their underwear really transform office underwear?
    An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

If you're already dressed nicely let's say suit and tie, is anyone even going to see your socks? I'm sure basically all of the almost 240 morons who agreed did so because you're calling out a millionaire, not because they actually have been in that situation.

      i don't think that's his main point. i think what he was trying to get at is the socks honestly look good- but no one gets to see them. obviously peter CAN wear fancy socks to places but typically when you buy something bright and fancy you want someone to be able to look at it.
      Something like the bottom of their shoes being colorful would be super neat since you can show it off as you walk as for socks get hidden very easy- which is obviously the point but for me if i was the only one that knew i had on my fancy socks i'd still feel like i couldn't express myself at work. the rebellion theme and hiding what you're doing contradicts each other a little bit. I can see some people being amused for a while but i can see why he's a bit confused about buying nice looking socks and then hiding them.

I’ve long since left the corporate would because of transferable skills but it’s actually very, very real that people literally HAVE to conform to company dress codes or else they lose their jobs. Not that they think they need to conform. And trust me, simply changing jobs thatll pay the same benefits and salary as corporate positions is easier said than done.

      At least when Nick was selling Lenin work shirts from his college dorm, there was a bit of a guerilla side and quality to it. Selling sneaky funky socks from a brand to "trick your boss" just seems fake and a bit childish. Most people in my age group disassociate themselves from their work life not try to integrate it.

    This would be great as a Xmas present for him, especially the humorous “Quiet rebellion “ idea and the cards featuring historical “rebels “.
    Maybe they should offer personalised cards and a gift box option. The box could be dark and kind of boring, then inside lots of crazy colours and bright tissue paper or something……
    Either way I think the dragons missed out here because I know a few people Who would love these.

      NO ONE is going to think a doctor wearing loud socks is unprofessional. If anything it’s a talking point and would make him more human and relatable.
