My story

Thirty years of dressing the men at the top.

My name is Randy Willard, and I’ve spent the last 30 years dressing CEOs, executives, athletes and celebrities.

I started at one of the most influential custom clothiers in America, the company that put men’s style on the cutting edge of the NBA, the NFL and Major League Baseball in the ’80s and early ’90s. I spent nine years there.

About 22 years ago, I started the company that became The Man Makes The Suit.

Since the ’80s I have worked with figures throughout sports, entertainment and business.

For three decades I have been helping men define their style. My quest has been to elevate men’s appearance with confidence and ease.

“Clothing for gentlemen, by a gentleman, is an experience you owe yourself.”

For three decades, Randy has been writing the playbook for leaders in business, sports and entertainment, one fitting at a time.

Why I built it

The CEO Wardrobe is my legacy.

For three decades, everything I knew stayed inside my fitting room. I wanted it to reach every man who needs it.

So I put all of it in one place: every principle I use with private clients, every mistake I’ve watched men make, every lesson it took me decades to learn. It’s built for any man, whatever his size, budget or starting point.

I’ve watched everyday professionals walk into meetings, interviews and negotiations and get treated differently before they open their mouths. That’s the whole point. I’m ready to show you.
