Hi, Just got a new Indochino suit (first one in a while) and I'm curious to know what people think of it. I'm planning on ordering a few more in the next little while, so any comments on what I could change would be appreciated. I know it needs pressing, and please ignore the shirt and tie - shirt's not really designed to be worn with a tie, and it was just the first tie I had at hand when I got home. (EDIT: The shoes are awful as well, I know; they're an old pair that's falling apart, but my good ones were left at the office). Also, the picture quality's not exactly stellar, but I only had an older camera on hand - I can get better ones if anyone thinks it'll help them comment. Thanks, Andrew Pictures:

Jacket needs a good pressing but the fit seems to be ok.

I should've mentioned - those are my old pair of shoes. It's not particularly visible in the photos, but the top has actually separated from the sole. I just didn't have my good pair on me (they're at the office). So, no need to tell me that they're not exactly stylish

Fair point on the pants length though - I'll likely get them shortened when I get the next few. Anything else that I might do?

It looks good. All it needs is shorter trousers, and that's the easiest and cheapest possible modification. Nice going.

Seriously, though, don't ever wear those shoes again for any reason. Burn them with high heat.

Really guys?

The pants are way too long, the skirt opens as it is too tight across the lower back, you are getting a collar roll (the bunching of the fabric below your collar) as they have cut the back too "round" for your more erect postures, the sleeveheads are finished horribly and the sleeves themselves are attached improperly causing the arms to look as if they are twisted.

I realize that this is strictly an online suit. I'm not sure of the price point and as such can't comment on whether the quality of this is relevant or not. But then again this is all just what I see.

^^^ That is a bit extreme based on some blurry photos. He's obviously standing to attention in those photos as everyone in these tends to do. The sleeves are a little short but the shirt cuffs are tight enough and shirt sleeves short enough that it doesn't matter much. The collar roll is absolutely minimal, again probably more to do with stance than anything. Sleeve rotation may be a little off but again unnatural stance could account for that. The jacket length looks good but the trousers need to be taken up.

Some people may say that your pants are too long, but I think they are fine because they will look okay when you sit.

Overall, you look great on this suit!

Sleeves too short
Too tight around your belly
Pants too long

But overall it's not bad at all for an Indochino suit!
