Seat 14A (www.seat14a.com)

a). Most men hate shopping. b). Sizes are never consistent and a number cannot define a unique bodily shape.

Our solution: We simply send an email with a few complete looks every few weeks, if you like a look - order it and we make it made to measure for you. We ship globally for free. Each look is about $150-$175 (so won't break your bank account). Each look is based off of heavy research around looks, textures and trends that are currently in.

They only have a few outfits but some http://seat14a.com/ensemble/the_valley are really great.

Aiming to have about 3-4 looks per month (our November collection will be Movember themed)


It looks like a picnic!


Are the pieces in the outfit generally specific to that outfit?

This is an interesting idea, but the value proposition to buyers is much higher if you're selling a few pieces that can go together, but are also very versatile in that you can use them in any number of combinations.

I don't want to spend money on 'one-offs'. Can you speak to the quality of the pieces?


On our blog we try to show how these outfits can be combined with other wearables. I think we need to step this up a bit more (so thanks for the feedback here). The quality is good (feedback has been positive but again it's always relative especially in fashion). We hand source all the fabrics and own our process end-to-end - so that helps wrt quality assurance. Hope that helps!


This is a really great idea. Just some feedback: The product photos, on my screen, look pretty low quality. I imagine this is because they are being scaled to the size of the browser. It also makes it a little hard to use as the photo takes the entire screen and requires scrolling for the information and site navigation.


Thanks ON. We intentionally kept the photos full-screen to give it a more magazine feel. WRT quality - def. going to up our game soon. Recently set up our own photo studio in the office (psyched!)

Based off what, Hipster™ magazine?


Yes. Pirate™ and Oil Rigger™ magazines are also looked at pretty closely :p
