For decades, suits have been the dress of wealthy men. A nice suit would cost well over $500, and it was difficult to find a suit of even decent quality for less than $250. Entrepreneur Vishaal Melwani set out to change that, starting up online clothing store Combatant Gentleman.
Melwani grew up in a family of Italian tailors, so he was familiar with suits… and how pricey they are. Without compromising the quality of the suits, he used his knowledge of the industry to make suits as cheaply as possible, sourcing materials and constructing the suits in various places to deliver savings to customers. Men can now buy suits that look good and are durable for $140-$220 and skip the warehouse, an added value for the professionals working 60-80 hour weeks. Here is a man with poor balance wearing a suit from Combatant Gentleman:
Indeed the man had poor balance, but at least he has a fabulous looking suit. This site is REALLY the answer to every business man’s want – a nice, inexpensive suit. That doesn’t look like crap, of course. The closest thing is probably H&M Suits that fit so well with the low cost, however the material used in those are sub par and not designed to last. I applaud the post and of course I applaud the Founder of Combatant Gentlemen. Fantastic Logo as well! Great job.
I think it is an amazing idea. A good suit is so difficult to obtain for a good price. I know there are cheap suits out there, but they often don’t give off the professional vibe that you need with a suit. To look at the process and make it cheaper is a great innovation.
