Indochino suits? - Page 166

Anyone have any experience (personal or someone you know) with ordering/buying a tuxedo from Indochino?

Basically you want your suit sleeve length no more than 1/4 shorter then a perfect shirt sleeve length. Say my perfect shirt sleeve length is 22" I would have my suit sleeve length 21.75".
They didn't pay for my return shipping. But I returned the suit. I didn't get it remade.

Ok thanks for re-explaining it, I wasn't too sure what you meant at first lol. Also when you say that the jacket sleeve should hit the wrist on the side closest to the hand, did you mean right over to the other end of the wrist bone, the end closest to hand ( when I say wrist bone I meant the one that pops out on the left side of the wrist, hope this is a clear enough explanation) 

Placed an order for the Essential Suit in navy on Monday. Emailed a few changes right away and got a response back that the changes were received. Received another email confirming they would make the change on Tuesday. Sent an email last night (so roughly 72 hours after the original order) requesting that they raise the armholes and take some padding out of the shoulders and received this reply:

About a month or two ago there was a Google Offers deal where you could get a suit/tux, shirt, and tie all for ~$325 (a ~$550 value).  I now massively regret not jumping on that to get my tux/tux shirt/bowtie for super cheap.  I did see they ran the same Offer last Dec/Jan too . . . so would it make sense to think it might possibly re-occur this coming Dec/Jan?  It would be a godsend if I could purchase a tux/shirt/bowtie for less than their price of a single suit/tux, and would decrease stress surrounding the wedding/expenses.

Production usually means that the fabric has been cut and is awaiting assembly.

There have been at least 3 offers this year, I waited on the first two, claimed that last one. My bet is there will be another one in time for holiday shopping,say November?

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll get it in the mail and see what's up. Hopefully when I emphasize slim in the first email they took that into account.

This is my first Indochino suit, any ideals on how to improve the fit for my next order? Thank you for all your help.

 BTW the suit is the Essential Charcoal.

Oh nice, thanks for the heads up!  I know the last one I saw was listed in the Chicago deals section . . . I only stumbled upon it by accident (I live on the east coast).  Is there a way to be alerted somehow the minute there's another Google Offer for Indochino, regardless of the location under which it's listed?

Thanks for all the help. I just emailed them this morning. They better remake or I want a refund lol. Have you tried Proper Suits? They actually send tailors to measure you but I haven't found much reviews on this forum.

No I haven't all online suits I know buy from Black Lapel. For my nicest suits I do go to a Custom suit shop, as no online tailor could ever give both the fit and the material of a suit shop. If Indochino doesn't work out give Black Lapel a shot. I have three suits from them 2 half-canvas and 1 full canvas (both more expensive than Indochino, but you actually get more bang for your buck). They all fit great and their customer service is probably the best service I have ever dealt with.

Hope it all works out!

Edit: I did some research on Proper suit. It seems like it would be very good if you live near one of their locations. My closest location is Chicago, and thats still a 6 - 7 hour drive for me.

I live in NYC and they do have an location they set up here for measurement. I've done some research too. Not much reviews but most were positive ones. Would had liked to here more from individual reviewers not from magazines though. Black lapel looks interesting. Definitely will consider it if indochino does not work out. Thanks.

For those waiting for orders, I placed my order Aug 1st, and it was (attempted to be) delivered today.  My wife missed fedex by about 5 minutes, so I have to go pick it up.  SO that was 22/3 day turn around time (I ordered it late, so I dont really count Aug 1st) Missed the 21 day period by a day.  But it was shipped 8/19.
