History

AlbertMing was founded by Albert Shyy and Ming Chang in 2010. [2] They were close friends growing up in Florida and attended the same high school. [3] Both of them are UC Berkeley graduates. [4] [3] Shyy studied business and was a managerial consultant before 2010. Chang studied computer science and had worked as an Apple engineer. [2]

Product

Naked Suits by AlbertMing or simply Naked Suits are the company's first line of product. They are water-resistant and could be ordered either off-the rack or made-to-measure. The product name is intended to convey the expectation that the suits are so comfortable, the wearer would not even realize that they are wearing a suit. [4] Shyy and Chang wanted to "reclaim" men's suit by making it more durable and "less miserable" using modern technology. [2]

Promotion

Naked Suits was promoted by numerous artists including Chuck D [5] [6] and Tim Urban. [1]
