Pre-Packed and Selected Wardrobes for Men

A few years ago, I read about Puma’s 96-hour suitcase. I think it’s been discontinued, because I coudn’t find it online (they’ve got a whole store called 96 Hours, but no sign of the product itself). There’s a description …

I wonder how they size the suits and if they alter.. aside from that this is a great Idea. I would like the know the materials and such that they use for their suits. I think that this Idea has huge potential to move in house. I am curious to see how this works out.

Hi,

I’m Greg, the owner of this service. Thanks for your comments. They are all valid. I appreciate your views.

We HUNGER for someone to buy from us who’ll fall in love with the product we sell and then blog about it. Our customers so far have loved what we’ve sent. The products are first class (hence the price — not far from what you’d pay at a big box department store) and not stuff that “wouldn’t sell” otherwise.

Again, thanks for the (not too negative ;) ) writeup. If any of you guys want to try us out, there’s a no-questions-asked return policy. We are for real and we’d love some honest feedback.

Thanks!

-g.

I think the idea has potential. I think the points of style, etc. are all valid, but I could also see the merit of paying someone $x and getting a kick start in the basics. But for $2k for two suits and some shirts, I’d want them to be tailored. (Esp. because I’m starting to think that custom-tailored shirts are worth every dollar extra they cost over the cheap ones, after all the too-short-arms and pockets-over-my-gut shirts I’ve been finding.)

I don’t think the problem with Click-a-closet is the lack of shopping – it’s the insane degree of trust you’re putting in some stranger who’s never seen you to pick out clothes that suit you and that you’ll like. For you to want to go with them, not only do you have to not like clothes shopping, but you have to genuinely not care what you wear, as long as it’s a suit.

If you don’t like shopping, you can at least go into most halfway-decent menswear stores and tell the guy “I need to get a suit”, and even if you let him take it entirely, 100%, Click-a-Closet-esque, from there, at least he’s seen you and can make a decision on what would look good on you based on more than just your measurements.

Click-a-Closet is like having your mom pick out your clothes for you again, but this time, your mom’s blind.

Apologies if your mom was actually blind.

You may be an anomaly, but then we both are. I am considered by my friends to be right on the edge of not being straight anymore. They are incorrect of course, I just like clothes. And shoes. And spend a lot of money on grooming products. But man let me tell you, the chicks dig a well dressed man who doesn’t smell like Pert Plus and Axe body spray.
