Stitch Fix Review for Men. When you lose a lot of weight like I did in 2018, old clothes just don’t fit anymore. This can be inconvenient. But now that I am closer to where I want to be body-wise, I can afford to invest in improving my wardrobe. Over the winter I was conservative and bought relatively inexpensive clothing, but now I want not only a better cut of cloth but some clothes and equipment that are specific to what I am trying to do, for example, hiking and weight-lifting.

Stitch Fix is a company that provides style advice coupled with a buying service. Basically, it is a subscription to clothing. The customer can choose when and how often to receive “fixes”. There is an extensive questionnaire when you sign up, and ongoing updates and communication about what your current needs are, and any style refinements.

When you’ve provided a style profile, and decided how often to receive fixes, the fix will be scheduled, and your stylist will start picking out clothes based on your profile and any additional notes you provide. With each shipment, you have the option to return anything you don’t like, using a prepaid envelope you can drop in any mailbox. If you keep the entire shipment, there is a substantial discount.

Customer service is terrific! Before you check out for each fix, you’ll be asked about each item, how well it fit, how you liked the style, and whether you want to return it or not. They also ask every time (so far for me) whether you’d like to stick with your current stylist or switch to someone new. And here’s a story about a problem that they easily solved for me:

In my first shipment, there was a shirt that didn’t fit, even though it was my size. I liked the style, just needed a bigger size for this particular product. Of course, normally I could have just exchanged the shirt for the right size, but they were out of stock. The shirt cost less than the discount for taking the whole shipment. So it didn’t make sense to ship it back, but would have been a waste. I could have taken the shirt to Goodwill or some such place, and probably would have, but Stitch Fix are so inquisitive about my experience, that I wound up sharing that info with them. I was told that I could return the shirt and that it would not affect my discount, so I did, and was given a credit. Great experience to be sure.

In this episode I unbox my second fix. Since I told Kelly, my stylist, that I’m going to be doing some hiking, she (or he) picked out some hiking boots, and some hiking shorts. I also got a North Face t-shirt, and this is the first time I’ve ever owned a North Face product, believe it or not. A sweater, which may be a little too warm for the weather right now, and some jeans fill out the order. I haven’t been very hip leading up to this, but now Kelly is hip enough for both of us.

This is what I would call a premium service. The clothes are fairly high-priced based on what I’m used to. But so far, I’ve been happy with what I have received, and especially with the added value of a gifted stylist. I’m planning to stick with the monthly subscription for a while, and maybe go to quarterly when I have some more warm-weather clothes. For next winter, I don’t expect to need such a big haul, though I did have cheap Walmart stuff this winter, and it’s wearing thin, literally. So I’m sure I’ll need some upgrades.

Stitch Fix is a good idea if you have lost weight, or are adding some new activities to your life, as we should always be doing. I recommend it if your finances allow.
