RIP RompHim, The Viral Garment We Hardly Knew

Almost two years ago, the internet came together to gawk at RompHim, a boldly bro-y company making rompers for men. It was a bizarre viral moment, leading to the spillage of gallons of digital ink, but like many viral fashion trends, it quickly fizzled out. What happened to the bold vision of men in pastel floral onesies? The utopic future of men stripping naked to use the bathroom?

Yesterday, we found out: RompHim has gone out of business. In a characteristically pastel-tinged email sent out Wednesday, RompHim announced the dream had ended.
