2 Business Ideas. Both Fastlane. What to choose? Need advices and feedbacks

[BlackMagician]

I am running small agency successfully.
Have been thinking of two core fastlane ideas since couple of months.

One is SaaS
One is Clothing

SaaS Idea came few years back while talking with my uncle.

He runs a manufacturing unit for Men shirts and kids shirts.
He mentioned that they have 10% fabric waste while cutting. If he sits and plan the pieces himself, he saved 2-3% fabrics, which is huge. But the local people who nestle and cuts does normal jobs in it. Not that expert and skillful.

At that time I thought there can be an App that only work was to reduce the fabric waste. Give efficient marker designs to save the fabrics and make extra clothes per roll. Other small and mid factories has Similar issues.

But due to tech limitations of mine, never persued it.

Another fastlane ideas is clothing brand itself.
This is Clothing for Islamic Men who wants to be confident, wear it's sunnah dress and can go to any councils, meeting confidently. Look professional.

Ths idea came from talking with lots of normal folks and my own observation in the market.

There is a huge gap in the online market for this.

Idea is to create a few great fit products, 3-4 SKUs and build a brand like True Classic did.

As I run my own agency, I know I can pull both ideas using marketing.

Now I am stuck what to pursue?

Both are great ideas.
Both have different pros and cons.

My uncle has manufacturing unit and 16+ yrs of experience in this industry hence I can leverage that easily to manufacture my clothes.

I have been debating on the ideas a lot.
My goal is being true fastlane.

Asked multiple people and GPT, some said clothing is operation heavy hence SaaS is good.

Some said SaaS is too technical and take lots of time and budget to start and make some revenue.

I am stuck and confused. Hence I came to the only place I feel can help me in this.

You guys.

So I am open to answers any questions to get this moving. In the next post I will add exact details and market research of both the ideas in detail for those who want to see in detail and advice.

Thanks for reading
