Fed Up with the Let-owns of Traditional Shopping? The Winston Box
In the hyper-curated fashion scene of the modern day, a bevy of new menswear emerges every month. With spring approaching, it's finally time to pull out those stylish transitional must-haves. However, shopping for clothes can be a drag. It's a struggle to carve out time to go to a store that might have what you want and then try everything on in a dimly lit dressing room (only to find, inevitably, nothing actually fits). Online shopping is a whole other issue in itself, with a good rule of thumb being that it probably won’t look the same in person as it does on the model. Additionally, for some, stores don’t even carry their size. Wil Cuadros, the Texas entrepreneur, ran into this exact issue in 2016 while looking for a new subscription service for menswear. Despite claiming to have a look for every style and, most importantly, size, many so-called “all-inclusive” services fall short of true inclusivity. Frustrated by the let-down of these companies and motivated by countless pleas from plus-size men across social media, Cuadros and business partner Amit Patel co-founded what they call the Winston Box.
Given the oversaturation of subscription boxes tailored for women, the Winston Box brings a new wardrobe to an often-overlooked demographic. This wildly successful big & tall men’s subscription box allows you to ship style straight to your door, from workwear to everyday clothes to try on in the comfort of your own home. Happy members report that “the Winston Box has been a life changer” and “I receive more compliments on my clothing now than ever before.” So, if you find yourself agreeing with these men or are simply stuck in a style rut of recycling the same hoodie and jeans combo every week, the Winston Box can make upgrading your wardrobe easier than ever.
Utilizing a succinct 60-second questionnaire and team of talented stylists, the Winston Box ships a personalized package of two to three items (available in sizes up to 6XLT and fitting waists up to 64 inches), all for just $75.00 USD. With an average retail value of $140.00 to $220.00, this subscription presents an incredible deal for a fully customized outfit. Additionally, if the clothing in your order is not a perfect fit, active members receive free size exchanges to guarantee they match customer preferences. With membership options available on a monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly basis, the Winston Box presents patrons with the opportunity to enhance their wardrobe and stay abreast of the ever-evolving trends in men’s fashion today.
“We want to make sure everyone can enjoy stylish, affordable clothing no matter the size,” Cuadros and Patel said. “That's why our subscription service delivers high-quality big & tall clothing directly to your door at a fraction of what the specialty stores charge.”
Cuadros and Patel will soon launch Newton’s First, the first athleisure brand catering exclusively to big & tall men. Despite being made with stretch fabrics that move with the body, there are very few athleisure brands that have provided clothing for this demographic until now. Newton’s First offers tailor-made stretch fabrics featuring temperature regulation and wrinkle-free construction, ensuring a clean and tidy appearance. Every garment is 100% sustainable, crafted from only eco-friendly materials, and produced using green production processes, guaranteeing a high-quality outfit designed to last for years.
“As big & tall guys with decades of combined experience in the industry, we understand the unique challenge plus size men face because we've faced them all our lives,” Patel says. “[This] is why Newton’s First religiously follows the rules of Fit, Fabric, and Fashion:”
FIT: Big sizes with generous cuts and fuller midsections, but tapered and fitted in the right places for a more flattering silhouette; tall sizes with elongated torsos and longer sleeves for men 6’ 3” and up, and consistent sizing and fit across our entire collection. Available in sizes 2XL to 6XLT (waists 40" to 64" and inseams 30" to 38"), Newton’s First utilizes proprietary sizing that has been tested and refined on over 50,000 big & tall men across 5 different continents, guaranteeing that the clothes effortlessly move with you, no matter what.
FABRIC: Engineered to perform under pressure, whether you’re out for a run, running an errand, or running a meeting, our high-quality fabrics are moisture-wicking, breathable, durable, and lightweight.
FASHION: The right balance between wardrobe staples that remain timeless and contemporary styles for the modern man, inspired by the latest trends in athleisure and streetwear.
Amidst the plethora of subscription services today and their often misleading claims of inclusivity, it's essential to make a well-formed decision concerning your shopping needs. The Winston Box captures the essence of modern menswear and offers a style and fit that compliments any body type. Shopping doesn't have to be a drag; now, it can be a guaranteed win.
