Description

The Rugged Elegance Capsule is an example of a builder capsule wardrobe we created for our client Mark Perkins in Chicago.

Mark knows the frustration of finding clothes that fit. At 6’4” 250 lbs, Mark, a former strength & conditioning coach turned medical sales professional, has always had a hard time shopping for clothing that works for his muscular frame... So of course, everything would need to be custom-made for him.

Since Mark didn't have much in his closet that fits well ("if it fits my thighs it's huge in the waist, and if it fits my shoulders it's a balloon at my belly") we figured it would be a good idea to design a capsule that covers a lot of ground (for business, nights out, to-and-from the gym, etc) while also locking-down some timeless, versatile pieces that we can continue to build his wardrobe around with future orders.

And since Mark is in Chicago (famous for their cold and windy winters) I figured we should start with some hard-wearing outerwear and work our way down from there, giving him lots of options to easily style each garment for a variety of settings.

Mark's capsule includes 18 items that can be mixed-and-matched (in any combination) to create at least 100 different outfits - with effortless combinations for any occasion. See the image gallery for some of the outfits we were able to photograph.
