My Experience of MY FIT

As Van Heusen is a famous brand in the world of clothing, I was excited to visit their store and explore the new concept introduced by them called MY FIT.

I visited their site and checked for the stores in Mumbai.

As I was going to visit Kala Ghoda festival on weekend so I was looking for a store somewhere in Churchgate and fortunately found one in Fort.

I got a bit late at Kala Ghoda and was praying the store to remain open.

When I visited the store the shutter was half closed. I was disappointed but thought of trying my luck once. I asked the security guard if the store was still open and he told me to go inside and ask the staff.

I went inside and to my surprise the store executive greeted me with a smile.

I told him about the MY FIT concept which I wanted to experience and he was happily ready to explain it to me.

There are 3 divisions in MY FIT

1.MY FIT Shirt
2.MY FIT Trouser
3.MY FIT Suit

I wanted to buy a shirt and a trouser so he proceeded with MY FIT Shirt.

There are around 7 categories available to create the perfect shirt for me.

I had never seen a brand give so many options to the customers which covers almost 100% of their needs. This is really amazing. The fabrics are of superb quality.
The best among all categories is Body type where you can select a shirt demanding upon your body structure.

I selected a tall fit, 40 size, royal blue shirt.

For the first time in my life I got a shirt which was a perfect fit for me, otherwise some or the other fitting was always required.
Sometimes the stitching was not that good because of which the look of the shirt used to fade away.
Also as I couldn't find a perfect fitting shirt so had to always compromise with the size.
Either I had to pick a shirt which was a bit flabby or a shirt which was skin fit.In the flabby shirt I used to look like an uncle and in the skin fit my belly used to make me look the same.

I was relieved after trying MY FIT Shirt and was really excited to know what is in store in MY FIT trouser.

Well to be honest I loved MY FIT Trouser as much as I loved MY FIT Shirt as I have always faced problem with my size and had to select a trouser of a size less or a size more, but here I got the perfect fit.

The people at Van Heusen are genius as they have understood the problem of unavailability of intermediate sizes.

For example in market we have a trouser of size 32, 34 & 36 but none with size 33 or 35.

My size is 35 and till date had to wear +1 size trouser but not anymore.

Also the length of my legs is more so it was difficult to find a trouser that fit me perfectly but the ultra slim type concept of MY FIT trouser worked magical for me.

Finally I selected ultra slim, 35 size, black micro self stripe trouser.

I got both the things ordered and now I am waiting for them to arrive soon.



Both the Shirt and Trouser are home and I am all set for my photo shoot..;)

I am really impressed by the material, design and fitting of the clothes.
Van Heusen now comes at the top of my priority list when it is about buying formal clothes.
Do try MY FIT, it's really magical !!!
