SOHO — It was a snatch and garb.

A man who broke into a bespoke men's clothing shop was caught wearing the clothes he stole, police said.

Karrim Randall, 36, broke into Marcella, at 32 Grand St., roughly 10 p.m. on Aug. 16, and was arrested outside shortly after, sporting the ill-gotten duds, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's criminal complaint.

He also caught carrying $16,000 worth of Marcella's dress shirts, suits, blazers, socks, ties and bow ties, police said.

Marcella, which did not respond to request for comment, normally closes at 7 p.m. on Sundays, according to its website.

Randall was charged with third degree burglary and is being held on a $10,000 cash/ $25,000 bond bail. He's due back in court on Aug. 21.

His Legal Aid lawyer did not immediately return request for comment.
