Hom Capsule

The Hom Capsule is an example of a custom capsule wardrobe we designed for our client Eddie Hom (see his full article here).

Eddie was a bit of a challenge - but a GREAT guy. When I first met with him on Zoom (you can book a free zoom appointment with me here) Eddie told me that he's a power lifter with a muscular physique - so, naturally, he has a very difficult time finding a good fit - especially with trousers. Like most people who squat big weight, he has a strong seat and thighs that is simply built different (than the typical "off-the-rack" pants). He struggles with issues like pocket flare, crotch blow-outs and general discomfort/lack of mobility.  

During the day he’s a pharmacist by trade living in NYC. He likes to look sharp and professional for work but he also has an active nightlife and often goes straight from work to a dinner and/or night out.

So for Eddie's capsule we focused on 1) nailing the fit for his unique body shape 2) choosing classic fabrics that are updated for stretch, mobility and durability and 3) designing items that can go directly from a day at the office to a night out on the town.

Below are the 14 items in Eddie's capsule. See the photo gallery for some of the many, many different outfits he can create by mixing-and-matching these 14 items in any combination.
