Mitch Purgason: Your favorite athletes’ tailor

The realm of pro sports often involves a degree of professionalism and style, aspects often well visualized by the pregame walk into the stadium. Athletes often don high-end or luxury suits, with media outlets typically highlighting the entrance of impact players. However, the custom suit business was not often a unique one. Then came App State alum Mitch Purgason.

Purgason creates personalized custom suits for athletes, celebrities and businessmen under his brand Stitched By Mitch. Purgason now maintains a steady and reputable client base of household names, though the road to success was far from easy.

As a student at App State, Purgason was unsure of what he wanted to do following graduation.
