are you sure that's cashmere/wool blend? usually it's polyester that makes things shiny. that, or the dry cleaners messed it up.

D-bag scammers. Indeed. I watched a video on how they make suits and it looks like bullshit. Off the rack is better than the conditions under which these suits are made.

So the final verdict is?? Is it a wool/poly blend?

coltboy, have you heard anything from indochino about this yet? I'd be curious to hear what they say about it.

LorenzL, I did not send them the video. When I describe it in a e-mail, Angie gave me the blanket response that it was 100% wool. Could they have made my suit out of the Performance Charcoal which is polyester, perhaps, but the tailor stated it was a blend, not 100% poly.

Beowolf, I am not a chemist, just a pyro. I will leave it up to the SF mindset to make the final verdict.

If your tailor is half decent he can easily tell if a fabric is wool or wool blend. I would take his word over the email response.

I am wondering if I should write them, their customer service probably won't know more than what's stated on the website. If it's indeed a blend (for whatever reason, it can also be that they got a bad shipment and no one checked), then it has to be changed accordingly on the website. I don't think they are intentionally misleading their customers in such a way.

I'd say that coltboy75 should email [email protected] and tell him his tailor says it is not pure wool. - Mike

That's probably better, yeah. He's directly concerned after all. They probably know about the issue anyway, as they monitor Style Forum sometimes.

Have any bigger dudes ordered an indochino suit with any success? I'm like a 44R.

Lorenz, have you forgotten the whole 'full canvas construction' business?
They'll write anything that will get you to buy a suit. Who knows, maybe their fabrics are woven by a company named '100% pure wool'. And since they have a full refund policy you have little recourse.

I'm not saying they are lying or that the fabric is a blend, I don't know. What I'm saying is that nothing in their web presentation leads me to trust their integrity blindly.

LorenzL · May 3, 2010

I'm just saying that we shouldn't assume the worst without having had a real reaction from them. What I meant to say in the sentence you highlighted, is that I wouldn't imagine them to cheat on customers in such an obvious way. They have to know that someone would find out sooner or later and I cannot imagine them making such a short-sighted decision. There is a difference and clear line between clever marketing (such as "bespoke quality&quot

and blunt lies about the fabrics they are using. As they are clever businessmen, I tend to believe that there must be a reason behind this issue.

NotoriousMarquis · May 3, 2010

All the suits have ripples down the back. theyre really poorly made it seems. thick as thieves is even better than this, and I really dont like what they do.

Oh, I like that. Are you saying they try to cheat as inconspicuously as possible?
