I noticed everyone in here was too busy focusing on the negative comments they totally overlooked your post. I think your suit is probably the best I've seen in this thread and finally sheds some hope that it is indeed possible to get a well fitting suit from Indochino. Nice!

Could someone please critique the fit of my suit? I took it to the tailor and they said the suit was fine but the pants needed to be takein in 2 inches and the length of the pants shorten by 2 inches. The crotch area also need to be let out but he said there was nothing inside.

Despite the negative reviews ITT, I think I'll give it a shot.  The price is right, and I don't mind going through a remake/getting refund if necessary.  I also have a large drop which makes OTR tough.

 

I'll be sure to remember the advice wrt armholes.  I can certainly understand how raising them allows for a slimmer fit without movement restriction.

Good luck with the traveling tailor. Hopefully, they used Chicago as a learning experience. I have a large drop too, and somehow my "made to measure" pants were aver 6 inches too big. How the heck could that happen when they had an employee take my measurements? I'm telling you Mikey, the suit that they shipped me fit EXACTLY like the trial suit that they have you try on during the measurements. You'll see what I mean. They didn't adjust a thing. I'm a pretty patient guy too, but when I saw that, I lost it.

I hear you. I've only seen 2 or 3 suits here that looked good. Most of them are either breath-takingly bad or no better than a basic otr suit with the waist and hem adjusted.

It looks pretty solid IMO. It's a lot better than 90+ percent of what I see in real life. The two DB suits that I've seen have looked really good....coincidence? Maybe...I think this suit would fit in with the few that I said look good. The one that I received was devastating. I went to the Traveling Tailor in Chicago, but the fit of my suit was shockingly inaccurate. The pants waist was over 6 inches too big, and one lapel was noticeably bigger than the other. I think that says enough.

I too am considering giving their traveling tailor a shot (san francisco).  The experience of the gentlemen from Chicago earlier sounds atypical...as of something went wrong from the measurement input/order process.  I can't imagine a majority of customers receiving those boxy trial suits (that would be horrible!).

My limited research shows IndoChino has a "hybrid"/closer to half-canvassed construction.  Can anybody comment on what they think of the construction?  For $400+, I'm hoping to upgrade from the "fused crap from Macys"

Hey all,

I'm about to order my first Indochino suit and was hoping for some tips on the measuring process.

From what I have seen on blog posts and in this thread, many suits arrive from Indochino big in the shoulders, chest, hips, with issues with jacket length, button stance, and low armholes.  

Is it worth trying to 'game the system' and take an .5-1 inch off of certain measurements.  I plan on having to get a remake, but I think it's worth trying to dial in the fit from the factory.  

Thanks for the help.  I'm just an Army officer that wears sloppy fitting uniforms with velcro and zippers everyday, so my mistake if my ordering strategy does not make sense.
