"It used to be only a small segment of the population had access to custom-designed and tailored clothes, but that's quickly changing thanks to advances in technology that make the process possible over the web," said Jin Koh, founder and CEO of Original Stitch. "With the launch of our Designer Platform, we are effectively making anyone a custom clothing designer, allowing them to create a line of shirts they love and sell them to others. Our vision is to create the world's largest clothing store with millions of unique possibilities built directly by our community."

While couture in quality, pricing for each shirt starts at an accessible $75.
According to a 2014 report by Euromonitor, growth in menswear is outpacing womenswear globally, and menswear sales are up 70 percent since 1998 once adjusted for inflation. With customization one of the major drivers of innovation for the larger apparel market, Original Stitch is well positioned to serve the growing demand for quality, customized fashion for men.
Today's launch in the United States follows the release of the Designer Platform in Japan in September, and a period of steady user growth for Original Stitch since its launch in April 2014: The company is increasing its customer base by 127 percent month over month globally, and 130 percent in the United States. With the addition of the Designer Platform to the Original Stitch experience, the company is geared to continue its momentum and goal of exempting men everywhere from the traditional shopping process.
