The notion is somewhat preposterous, once you consider how far we've come as a consumer society, where a house, a car and an education are attainable by the vast majority, but a decent suit is not.

A suit has nowhere near the utility of a car/house/education.

We SFers may be obsessed, but in real life it does not matter.

In the article, the Oriental-looking co-founder of Indochino looks like he's 12 years old and about 4'5" tall.

I would never have expected that company to be Canadian.

I thought Foo was a lawyer

Interesting that both dudes are wearing suits that look mediocre and cheap at best.

From that first picture, it looks like Vucko really attacks the competition.

"The best bespoke quality suit you've ever worn for less than $500." This article is just wrong. 1) They don't make bespoke suits, 2) they don't even know how to make a proper shoulder, and 3) their fabrics are awful.

Yeah they're not bespoke, and yeah their fabrics aren't that great, but i do appreciate what they're trying to do.

Sure you might get a better suit for the same price if you buy on sale at 50% off, but in terms of mass production of acceptable suits that actually fit, i'd say they're pretty good. And I like the fact that they stand behind their product enough to offer credit for subsequent tailoring.
