IMO, the shirt sleeve needs to be shortened a bit.
the jacket requires some tailoring on the waist.

Really, the cuffs? I struggle a bit to slide my hands through the cuff when buttoned. Is it supposed to be that I'm only able to button the cuff after putting the shirt on?


The buttons are to close the cuffs after you've put the shirt on.

The shirt sleeves are a tad too long. Also, as a word of advice - don't buy dress shirts from Indochino. There are far better MTM retailers out there like ModernTailor, Jantzen, etc. For the same price you could get better quality or for less you get the same quality as IC. It's fine if the shirt comes free with a suit, but they simply are not worth the $80-90 they charge.

The shirt sleeves are a little long but it's not TOO bad. The jacket seems to fit pretty well but could use a little waist suppression. Other than that, fits well IMO.

Thanks, will check them out. Speaking of which, anybody have any experience with Biased Cut? http://biasedcut.com/shirts-splash/. They're in the same price range, but new customers get a free $20 credit... hm.

Shirt cuffs are a tad long, otherwise you look just fine. Let's see some shoes.

+1 on both counts.
