How 'Gents Playbook' Founder Tom Marchitelli Revolutionized Sports Fashion

Tom Marchitelli joins the guys on Diggin' Deep!

Tom is the founder of Gents Playbook, which outfits over 400+ athletes and celebrities with custom suits. Before his sports fashion business took off, it started as a side hustle. Tom was working a job in corporate finance in New York City, but always had a passion for fashion. He got his start by sourcing some of the best suit materials from England & Italy, perfecting each suits fit, and getting down in the DMs with some of the biggest athletes in the country.

Once word spread around the sports community of Tom's bespoke & swaggy suits, athletes began to DM him. Tom was DM'd by Travis Kelce because of his connection to Hoz, and Tom made his first ever bomber jacket for the 3-time Super Bowl champ.

He's also fitted Rob Gronkowski at a Super Bowl, has Dak Prescott as one of his biggest clients, and recently dressed Jarren Duran at the MLB All-Star game to a best dressed victory.

Tom's story is about betting on yourself and turning something you're better at than everyone else into a thriving business.
