Scotch Select vs. Taelor: Choosing the Right Menswear Subscription for You

Scotch Select offers a self-serve model. You add items to a virtual closet, selecting what appeals to you from the Scotch & Soda collection. While this gives flexibility, it falls short of a bespoke experience. Taelor goes above and beyond with a personalized styling process. When you join, you start with a style quiz, followed by a one-on-one consultation with a professional stylist. This stylist takes time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and goals, ensuring each shipment is carefully curated for you. And with the support of AI-driven recommendations, Taelor fine-tunes its suggestions based on your ongoing feedback—no more scrolling through endless options to build a virtual closet.

Scotch Select offers a fixed 3-item-per-box plan for $99/month, with the ability to swap boxes an unlimited number of times. While this model keeps your wardrobe refreshed, the lack of personalized input on new shipments can make it feel repetitive over time.

Taelor, on the other hand, offers customizable plans, flexible item counts, and exclusive member discounts. Taelor’s flexibility extends beyond the initial styling. With up to 10 items per month and customizable shipment frequencies, Taelor adapts to your needs, allowing you to keep items as long as you like or swap for fresh styles when ready. Plus, if you fall in love with a piece, Taelor offers exclusive discounts of up to 70% off retail prices—making it easy to add favorites to your permanent collection. 

For both services, returning items is seamless. Both Taelor and Scotch Select provide prepaid return bags and free shipping both ways. In Scotch Select, items are sent based on availability and require a minimum of 8 items in your virtual closet to trigger a shipment. This can mean additional time spent managing your closet to keep boxes coming smoothly. 

With Taelor you can simply wear, enjoy, and return. Taelor’s fast 2-3 day delivery ensures you never wait long for your next stylish ensemble.

Scotch Select embraces the rental model, but the focus remains largely on offering Scotch & Soda’s latest looks. While stylish, it doesn’t provide the same eco-conscious messaging or commitment to sustainable choices that Taelor prioritizes.

Sustainability is a core value at Taelor, encouraging members to "own less but enjoy more." By extending the life of garments, Taelor promotes eco-friendly fashion and helps reduce waste. With every rental, you’re making a positive impact on the environment without compromising style.

In the diverse landscape of men’s clothing subscription boxes, Taelor offers personal styling, curated rentals, flexible plans, and dedication to sustainability. While Scotch Select offers a stylish selection from a beloved brand, it lacks the tailored experience and flexibility that Taelor provides. With Taelor, you’re not just renting clothes—you’re gaining a personal stylist, a sustainable wardrobe solution, and the confidence that comes with looking and feeling your best.
