We’ve collected dozens of points of measurement to develop best in class fits for our shirts, sweaters and pants,” said Chris Phillips, VP of men’s merchandising at Stitch Fix. “Hawker Rye is our take on modern American sportswear, featuring our essential washed shirts and everyday chinos. This blending of art and science ensures we are able to serve a wide variety of men looking for great, everyday pieces at an accessible price point.”
