Different angle: at 40 people with no meaningful equity, check the runway. Ask how long they're funded for and what the plan is after. "Running things in three years" needs the company to exist in three years, and that's a real question rather than a rude one.

Twelve years in retail category management. I know what a 40% gross margin actually feels like once shrink and card fees take their cut.

Separate from the fusing, the roll depends on collar geometry. A button-down needs enough length in the collar leaf for it to arc rather than lie flat, and a lot of shirts cut the leaf short to save fabric. Look for something around 7.5-9cm on the point. Short-pointed button-downs never roll properly no matter how they're made.
