- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Indochino is an online made to measure and custom suit company that fancies itself as sartorial at a price that is decidedly not bespoke. Of all the online custom and made to measure suit companies out there, Indochino has been one of the most highly-requested for me to give a proper menswear review of. In today's video, Indochino gets put through the He Spoke Style test. Watch to find out whether I think Indochino suits are good quality as well as more about the showroom experience, fit, and overall impressions.

Your honesty makes you have lots of credibility in my eyes. Glad there's still creators with dignity out there.
Cheers Brian!
Appreciate that very much. Thanks for the support.
love how transparent you are. Big difference to a lot of other youtubers!
Transparency = credibility. That’s the coin of the realm.
Teaching mens fashion sucks on that part
As you said the experience would differ from showroom to showroom and salesperson to salesperson. Mine was pleasant as I was given enough time to choose my fabric and I was quite satisfied with the way my measurements were taken. When the suits arrived the jacket was a bit loose and the trouser was a bit short. They fixed it within a week's time and I was told that my measurements were updated in their system. I ordered 3 more suits and these were perfect, I didn't have to go back to showroom as these 3 suits were absolutely perfect.
Great video and honest review! I wore my first MTM suit from Indichino suit for my wedding 3 years ago. The jacket was spot on but my pants were too long and had way too much fabric from the thigh down. Took it to my tailor and he fixed the issue. Had Indochino fixed the problem, they wouldn’t have finished it in time for the wedding. Cheers to all the reliable tailors!!
Thanks for chiming in. It’s common to need alterations with any custom, MTM, or bespoke suit (until your pattern is dialed in). Wasn’t out of the ordinary to have an issue with the pants, but it was the severity of the problem when they came the second time that was interesting to me.
Hello all... I have had a very wide suit experience .... beginning with a beautiful made to measure Ralph Lauren back in 1989 .... fantastic and loved it. Graduated to multiple Brioni’s from Neiman Marcus, Valentino, Kiton and even a Dominico Vacca - Prince of Wales double breast ... I spent a bloody fortune!
A very close friend of mine recently got a post COVID 19 Neiman Marcus deal on an off the rack Tom Ford suit $1650 for a $5400 suit - that looked fabulous on him ... I called my Neiman guy and he said that was very short period ... oh well my loss and Newman’s.
This is my reasoning to attempt and replicate a Tom Ford suit via Indochino?? Crazy presumption?? Yes I agree ...
The only suits and jackets I have are the Domenico Vacca, Valentino crushed velvet dinner jacket and Kiton duponi silk dinner jacket. Then I tried so many more affordable off the rack suits .... horrible even after having my professional tailor attempt to fix the suits.
Well .... I then tried Indochino. .... my first 3 suits were just okay. The pant legs were a little short, leg rise a little too short ... the suit felt compromised and of course a little cheap but the value was too good to pass up.
I went back after a year and told the showroom person my concerns and refit .... went to a 3.5 peak lapel, slightly longer pants .... lower rise in the crotch.... the suits were perfect and needed zero modifications.
Here is what I love about the Indochino program ....
The fabric samples and lay out
Pic stitching
Wide lapels
Working sleeve button wholes
Dak waistband if requested
Slanted pockets
Ticket pockets
Creative control over the lining, the buttons
For the money .... one cannot beat the Indochino program .... it’s not perfect but boy oh boy it is really good.
I bought 5 suits 3 standard and two luxury fabrics ..... I like the standard better for some reason .... I will go back and get a few more for fun!
Good luck ... have fun!
Finally a credible, not shilly, not 'marketing' feel video in the classic menswear space. I may have different style preferences to you but I have a new found respect
Awesome to hear. Thanks so much for your support.
Brilliant review! I really appreciate your honest reviews- you set a great example. Your opinions and observations are really credible and the transparency is amazing!
Love the transparency. Solid content as always, keep it up Brian!
Thanks, Jakob. Appreciate that.
Thank you for being so honest in your review! It's refreshing to see someone talk about a product in a real way.
You're very welcome. The only way to be. Thanks for the comment and support.
As other people have stated I admire your honesty. Your passion for sartorial clothing is obvious and I would also be very pedantic when something as important as proper fit is concerned. This is one of the reasons why I subscribed to this channel. You speak my language. Thank you Brian.
Love the transparancy, love all the details, love the video. Wow good job, clean, crisp and honest
Refreshingly honest and balanced. This is why we keep coming back to you for style advice. Keep it coming, Brian!
Wilco!
They gave me a 7-8 week waiting period for completion. In retrospect I’m glad it wouldn't arrive on time before my wedding. Great and honest review.
Thanks for being so transparent. One of the few creators I still trust
Awesome. So happy to hear that. And you are very welcome.
I appreciate the transparency right upfront. I enjoy your videos because your input is guided by your integrity. Please do not lose this as this is the foundation upon which we As watchers TRUST you.
I’m keenly aware of that. And you have nothing to worry about. Thanks for the support.
Hey Brian, first of all, I really appreciate your honesty; that's what brings value to this amazing channel! Now, the transformation of the pants is really outstanding: I noticed that the fit out of the box was so bad also because of the central crease line falling away from the center of your shoes. How did you fix that? What alteration is needed?
Thanks so much, Marco. Appreciate the comment and support. All it took was having the pants the right length and tapered to my liking.
And thank you for being completely transparent and honest. This is the BEST men's style channel on RUclips, bar none.
You're very welcome. Thanks so much for the support.
Very helpful and credible advice! I too purchased my first Indochino suit - DB herringbone in light brown - from a showroom. The fit was almost perfect; the pants required minor alterations. The lining wasn’t the same fabric I had originally selected. Where I was disappointed was in the limited customization and the lack of knowledge regarding the fabric sourcing. Since then I have opted for Suitreview which sources from SuitSupply. At this stage it’s all about quality.
Thanks for chiming in, Adam. I agree that Suitsupply is a step up in quality as well.
It was nice to have all your honesty comments and an independent review.
Customer service: subpar
Rushing me on measuring: same like yours (not desirable)
Suit adjustment: 3 tries
You pay for what you get. Is it affordable for most gents? I’d say yes and it does the part..BUT I’d say go for something else and save an extra $200-$400 for a better experience and flawless build. (My opinion of course)
Exactly. I think you're spot on. Thanks for chiming in.
EscobarStyle Thanks for the input bro. Currently researching for purchasing one good suit. Any other suggestions?
Enjoyed the very honest review. I myself had a positive experience with Indochino. I think the key is being measured in a showroom versus self measure. The man who measured me at the King of Prussia location was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. My suit was also not packaged as well as I hoped, however, I get every suit I buy cleaned and pressed anyway before wear. The suit for me was on point first try. The only alteration I had done was having a crotch liner added. The thing I like about Indochina is that I can be a bit of a creator myself. I prefer wider peak lapels in a single breast option. I also like train ticket pockets. I have a few completely bespoke suits, however, it is hard to find a wide peak lapel in a knock around suit.
I have an appointment with Indochino in a week. Glad I watched this and took notes! Thanks!
It is very uncommon to hear about such an honest and unbiased review like yours. I wish I had listened to this review before ordering my suit from Indochino. Honestly, I was very disappointed as the suit was my first customed suit. I thought it was going to be a step up from my previous already-made $ 200 JF Ferrari suits. I went to the show room in Milwaukee to have my measurement taken. The showroom experience was great. The saleperson was very knowledgeable and helpful. My suit arrived about a month later, looking totally like something picked off the rack, nothing customized. My measurements were totally messed up.
Can you review Spier and McKay suits? Sartorial talks has said some positive things about them.
Many of you all are requesting this!
YES
If you can find a good OTR fit, it's a steal at the price for quality. Yes, no handwork on 99% ( although they did have a $600 suit in two colors with full canvassing and Milanese buttonhole, etc). So, yeah, I enjoy!
I've heard really good things about Spier and Mackay from @burzanblog who rocks them a lot.
@Pizza Pizza I don't see why??? If they produce those that is extra SKU for each one. 48S, 48, 48L and if they do slim versions that is another 3 per chest size. They do custom in store and MTO online that can be taken further than the 46, sometimes 48s they stop at.
Brian that’s why we love your channel. Honest and professional. Some other style channels try to shove their brands down your throat as the greatest things in the universe, makes them look like young boys and not grown man. You’re the best bro . Great video 👍
Appreciate that support, Emilio. I'm glad that comes through.
props to you for being a honest and straightforward, keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
I really wish all RUclips channels were like you Brian . Excellent reviewed without commercial bias . I did have bad experience with indochino , I had to tailor the suit many times and spent as much the suit cost .
Many thanks for the support.
Your Honesty and transparency earned a new subscriber.
Great honest review! I have a suit coming from them in the next couple days...I hope I like it.
Incredible review to the point... looking forward for more such reviews.
Love the work
Many thanks for the comment.
Such a great review Bryan! Thank you! You guys are awesome ❤️
Many thanks! Appreciate the support!
Thanks for your reviews. VERY HELPFUL!
Great channel. I finally subscribed after this video. I had been watching a lot of Gentleman's Gazette, but I found them a little too particular and unconcerned about price. Your channel has shorter videos (but not too short), clear presentation, advice for average people, and someone who is scrupulous about transparency. Keep up the good content. Best of luck.
So happy to hear that! Thanks and welcome!
Thank you! Finally someone with a similar experience to me reviews this company. For me it was the jacket that was off, but where the company fell flat was dealing with it. The process of three re makes leading to eventually asking for my money back took over a year to go through.
Oh, man. So sorry to hear that, Morgan. It's a shame that the customer service experience wasn't great for you.
Thanks Brian - great review!
Love the honesty, can't wait for the next video! Stay safe
Great review! Transparent and thorough!
Many thanks, João!
Your video has confirmed every suspicion I had with Indochino especially regarding the measurement process. Will be going with Oliver Wicks instead for wedding. Thank you for valid input.
Him disclosing how he had bias was very good. Subscribed right then and there!
Great honest review! Such feedback is definitely needed! I had a somewhat similar experience. I think because they are shipping it with your initial measurements, they intentionally leave more space to make tailoring easier. With that being said, I had two additional alterations with them from the initial purchase also requiring them to send a new jacket because the half-canvas was a bit too thick for me. They were able to get the perfect fit for me, but it did take about 1.5 months. Imo, its' a great starter option and is cost-effective as they will cover all the charges to ensure that you're satisfied. I wouldn't recommend it if your looking for quality like SuitSupply or higher-end MTM brands or if you're crunched for time as it might take a while before they are able to get the fit right.
Thanks for chiming in with your experience, Bradley.
I'm so glad you were fair and honest. The guys over at Gents Lounge swear by Indochino and after watching their reviews one would think that Indochino is the holy grail of made to measure
You're welcome, Kenneth. Appreciate your comment very much.
I love this channel very much, your reviews are always on point..
Many thanks!
Woohoo full transparency with a review that actually saves us time. Thanks! Can't wait for the Spier and McKay review.
You got it!
He Spoke Style Thanks! I’ve read and seen IG posts about the brand saying very nice things. The photos of their suit jackets leave me wondering. They seem so have too sloped of shoulders and a flared bottom of the coat. (Not attractive to me personally) I’ll just wait for a proper review by you.
Great review! Appreciate the honesty . Keep it up
Thanks! And Wilco!
In summer 2018 I was in Houston on vacation from my home country in Lagos, Nigeria it was my first visit to the US, and I had planned to make at least 5 custom made office suits in Houston. I had googled some few made to measure stores and settled for Indochino or Jos .A. Bank, my visit to Indochino at the Galleria mall was very disappointing, I met a bearded man and a lady, I was initially ignored after a while the bearded guy attended to me and I asked some few questions about the process and asked if it could be shipped since I've got just 1 week left in Houston, he told me no in an annoying manner and I took a walk and headed to Jos.A. service wasn't great at all. I have been a sales manager and consultant for many years in a multinational company so I know what kind of service's I expect. I agree with you on the displayed fabric, it was great at least you can see what you want.
Appreciate the honest review.
I love the honesty! 👏🏽
I’m still on the fence about IndoChino but I’m def leaning towards “No, thank you.”
Love the turtleneck sweater, I picked up 3 from H&M in different colors
Must have for winter wardrobe
Indeed. This one is from Uniqlo.
Uniqlo and h&m do have some really nice staples if you shop around. It helps to build up a varied wardrobe.
Always a presentation full of trust and attraction. Thank you Brian.
You’re very welcome. Thanks for the comment.
Great review. I had a very similar experience with the brand. I chose to give Indochino a try for my wedding suite. I wish I would’ve gone with a different brand. My biggest negative was the showroom experience. Every employee is extremely young (nothing against younger workers). The employees seemed to have had very “cookie-cutter” training for tailoring and they didn’t give off a very passionate energy when it came to suites and fit.
Thanks so much for chiming in, Michael. Appreciate you sharing that.
Totally agree with the review. Had a suit made a few years back. They made the pants wayyy to tight cause they thought it would look better on me instead of what I liked (I have big calves), and after 3 alterations with their tailor in store they refused to remake them. To this day I like the suit but rarely wear it because of the pants, jacket is decent.
It's nice to get a honest review on products. It's so many influencers that embellish this brand. Thanks again Keep up the great work
You're welcome, Johnra. And wilco!
Honestly, I was expecting a new segment about how to make a face mask look stylish or how to accessorize a hazmat suit.
Ha. Won't see that on this channel!
You can bet fashion designers will be inspired by this soon...
@@hespokestyle boy oh boy this aged like milk!!
You now DO have a video about stylish face masks :))
Great vid!
Always came for the quality reviews. Never went disappointed. Keep it up, man.
Also, just one suggestion. The video-subtitle sync is a bit off after 1:10. Just a friendly suggestion that may help you improve the video.
Wilco!
Will check into it.
The only Lifestyle & Fashion Channel worth while watching. I just cancelled subscriptions for all other channels. Thank you for being such a great inspiration!
Like how straightforward you are mate, cheers for more fashion inspo!
Thanks Matthew! The only way to be!
He Spoke Style agree with you mate! To more sartorial inspos!
Thank you so much for your honesty! I purchased an Indochino suit based on other influencers rave "killing it" reviews and I was so disappointed. Not only did my suit fit terribly, but their customer service is nonexistent.
Sorry to hear that, Mr. Ferro. Well, know that my opinion is not influenced by dollars.
Thanks for your honesty, I also wasn't blown away by their suits.
You're very welcome. Thanks for chiming in, Felix.
I have been considering buying a suit from them, thanks for the info. Although your overall experience wasn't great, I think that suit is damn sharp.
Yeah, it’s not bad, as I say! I personally did not have the greatest experience and I have some qualms with the quality-especially being a fused garment-but could be a decent option.
@@hespokestyle how is it half canvass and fused? Doesn't half canvass mean it's not fused in the chest area?
Appreciate the honest review. Show room experience means nothing to me, glad the suit looks good for the price. I'll take a slightly sub par show room experience if it saves me money.
I had a similar experience. I ordered trousers several years ago, just to give the brand a try. I'll just say, it was my first & last purchase. Great review. The honesty is appreciated.
You got it. Thanks so much for chiming in.
Thanks for the upfront disclaimers. My experience has been hit or miss also. You have to go into it with "you get what you pay for." I had one jacket that was 4 inches short in the arms, and then another suit that fit like a glove and one of my favorites. Thank you so much for sharing your candid thoughts. Can you do Spier and Mackay next?
After having purchased 3 suits from Indochino, I keep coming back to your video Brian. You nailed just about everything. One thing I’ve noticed is that the quality overall is really good for the price, however I would never buy side adjusters again. All 3 of my trousers have either ripped or fallen off. At first I thought it was a mistake on my end, tightening them too much. Come to find out, it’s fairly common. I will probably continue to buy from them, as the price point is perfect for my state in life now, and a tailored suit is the single BIGGEST confidence boost for a man in my opinion. At 5’9 165 lbs I can find off the rack suits that fit well, but something crafted to your body just can’t be beat, especially at this price point.
Thanks for all your hard work with your videos! The fact that I can get trustworthy advice for free is just insane to me. Going to go pour myself a Negroni and finish my book. Cheers my friend!
How the suit quality years later ? Think it’ll last ? Is it still looking good ?
earned a sub and a fan with your vids on this and suit supply.
Awesome! Glad to have you!
Thanks for this video! Was looking for high quality suits at an affordable price and it’s tempting to go with Indochino or Suit Supply but I don’t think I’ll ever find cheap and high quality. Hope the hopsack weave essential navy suit and cotton Khaki suits stay in stock and available on HSS. Will be my first suits and I’m saving up to purchase at least one of them for the SoCal heat this summer 👍🏻
Thank you for your honest and informative review. I bought a suit about 3 months ago. My experience at the store was excellent. I didn't feel rushed at all. They took all the measures, asked for my preferences, gave suggestions. The pants were flawless. The jacket size was great, although I am not sure about the shoulders width. I think the jacket make my shoulders look narrower or at least don't have the effect of giving a better structure. Overall, I am satisfied. But I buy again, I would prefer to be measured again and bring the jacket I bought with me.
Thanks for chiming in, Leonardo.
It's channels like this that educate and convince us to spend our money in a more wisely fashion. We learn to appreciate the quality and effort from stand alone/ single-store bespoke tailors; thus we'd rather end up visiting them. Thanks for the info!
You're very welcome. And thanks for the support!
As always, you are incredibly transparent and it's very refreshing. A lot of other channels are always trying to sell you something. Not you. "Just the facts mam, just the facts"
Glad you guys appreciate that. Thanks so much for the comment and support, Trey.
@@hespokestyle no thank you! I was just watching your pini parma review. Definitely the next suit I try
Very revealing. Thanks, man!
You're welcome! Thanks, as always, for the comment.
Another great soup-to-nuts video...thanks for all the detail, Brian. I'm in the process of having a sport coat made at Indochino. So far, so good. I really liked my salesman (the store manager), didn't feel rushed etc., and felt he had good attention to detail with measurements, but this was my first made to measure experience, so nothing to compare it to. I've heard lot of good things about Oliver Wicks too and may try them next time, but I like the idea of a brick and mortar where someone can measure me, and where I can see all the fabrics which O Wicks doesn't offer. My Indochino coat arrived last week and was really, really close, providing a better fit than any sport coat off the rack that I've ever tried. There was about a 1/2" of extra fabric in the front toward the top which they're taking in, and I asked them to shorten the length 1/2" too. They updated my measurements to my profile so future coats should fit better. I know you had your tailor alter your pant length - wasn't Indochino willing to do that for you? Also, do you have any opinions in general about origin of fabrics? I understand they use Chinese fabrics vs. O Wick's British or Italian. Do you think Chinese fabrics are inferior, or less durable? Sorry if that's a loaded question! Thanks, Brian.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sure the brand would have done it for me, but since I'd already had them remake the pants once and I didn't have time to go through that process a third time before I was required to create content for them, I went with the option I knew would be perfect--my personal tailor.
@@hespokestyle Got it. Thanks again, Brian!
Well said Sir!! Wish everyone was this honest.Have been watching ur videos for a Longtime and i am not surprise with ur thoughts.You r a great man.Respect!
Appreciate the comment and support.
Hey Brian. Thanks for the super honest review. My brothers and I went into an Indochino showroom to get measured for his wedding and the sales person told us they’d need a 4 month turnaround time. Definitely not impressed but now after watching your review, I don’t think we missed out on much.
Wow! Four months?!
He Spoke Style Yup. I checked the website after we left the showroom and it said 2-3 weeks so I’m guessing he just didn’t want to measure three guys back to back.
SoOoOo what you’re saying is “No” on the “Slacks” but “YeS” the “CoAtS”? Finally a real review of the brand I have always questioned on price of “CuStOm” Mens Clothing. Thank You, B
Actually, with the help of my tailor, I would say that the pants fit great. The jacket needs some help, particularly in the pitch of the sleeve, the way the back lays, and the armholes being too low, which gives it a boxy look.
made to measure and custom isn’t the same though
I tried Indochino recently out of curiosity and had a very similar experience. I sent my suit back for adjustments but have a feeling I will need to take it to my tailor. The jacket was quite boxy and there was some strange buckling in the chest area. The measurement process was the same as your experience. Thank you for a straightforward review. I find your videos and recommendations very useful.
Appreciate the comment and support, Allen! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love the honest review, in spring of 2017 before there was a showroom in the Carolinas every youtuber suggested them (payola of course)and given that this was my entry point in custom suiting of course I was pumped! However after going through the intimidating (at the time) process I got the suit in about 4 to 6 weeks and the suit had potential but the fit was absolutely off it was about 2 sizes bigger than it was supposed to be arms on the suit looks like 2 trash bags no exaggeration and when I contacted them I got a pretty smug reply about the fit I have to add I was out of town for two weeks before trying on so maybe a bit of it is on me but in the practice of good customer service as a big business the problem wasn’t corrected. I call it the suit with so much potential, I wore it only twice since April of 17 quick added point I took the suit to 2 different reputable tailors and it just couldn’t be corrected and I’m not even gonna start with the trousers. I appreciate your honesty Mr. Sacawa
Yikes! Thanks for sharing your experience, Jairus. And you're very welcome.
Very honest review. I appreciate your honesty.
Thanks, Joseph. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Really appreciate the honesty. In Europe it wasn’t easy in the past to get so that’s the reason I haven’t tried it. My only mtm experience is with Suitsupply in Amsterdam and Milano. The Milano one was not that great and the one in Amsterdam was amazing, I’m guessing it’s because they spoke waaay better english in Holland. The fabric selection is endless and there are plenty of options to customise. I was curious of an online mtm experience even if it meant I’ll have less options to customise because while I use the excuse of a city break to get 2-3 jackets or suits it’s starting to get expensive when you factor in travelling costs
Based on my previous Suitsupply video, it seems that the European experience is much better than the US one.
Appreciate the honesty. I personally don't have anything from Indochino so can't share my 2 cents.
1+ for a review on Spier & Mackay suits. I have several items from them and very happy with the quality and fit, no suits though. Still reluctant to order a full suit online.
Thank you for your honest review , I was thinking of getting a tuxedo for my wedding from them
Apreaciate the honest review
Thanks for the honest feedback.
It's funny as I just saw my bespoke tailor in L. A. gave him a very, very detailed list- DETAILED!!! I wanted a full break (I am ex-military and that's the way I like it). Tried them on yesterday and a wanted a pocket cut on the bias, I was quite specific even giving the bespoke tailor a detailed DETAILED list. Full break on the hem---nope, not even close! 2" above the top of the shoe. It's like did you read my list? He is going to correct these errors- how is going to turn cowboy pockets into pockets on the bias is a mystery to me but suffice to say won't be using him again. How someone can mess up a pair of trousers when I give him a WRITTEN VERY DETAILED LIST is beyond my comprehension. I sympathize with you Mr. MODERATOR!
This is an amazing review of Indochino. I have had experience with them and they did get various of my measurements wrong. The fabrics are pretty nice, but the measurements were off.
Thanks for chiming in, Rodrigo!
Thanks for keeping it real with indochino.
Love the pini Parma review. How about reviewing the DanielRE collection??
You're welcome, James. Definitely NOT going to be reviewing the DanielRE collection.
An honest (not malevolent ) review, thank you. Great turtleneck btw! ~ Cheers!
Thanks for the support. Means a lot.
Love this review. I was, actually, going back and forth between Indochino and Suit Supply. I was leaning more towards S.S. This video, effectively, made my decision easier.
As a sidebar, I would love to go truly bespoke. But, my suit wearing days are limited to Sunday's and special events. Therefore, I can't justify the price in doing so.
Well, think about it this way. A bespoke or higher-end MTM will last a very long time. And if you're only wearing it on the weekends, you're likely to have that suit for a long, long, long time.
Remember cost per wear.
I do like my suit but I feel you were spot on with the measuring experience. I didnt get that confidence when being fitted. They had only been doing it for 1 month. I did enjoy the experience other wise and like I said I do like my suit. I thought the customization and fit would have been a bit better. It also took a very long time before it was completed. I started the process before Thanksgiving. I had to do 3 final fittings and didn’t get my suit until the end of February. Still not sure if I will go back.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate your review/critique of Indochino. It is a pity though that you flat out would not recommend them.
I have 4 Indochino suits and like you I experienced a few issues when I got my first one. The fit of the jacket was spot on. It was about an inch longer than I preferred but it quickly grew on me. The pants fit perfectly around the waist but the length was a tad bit longer than desired. I quickly realized that if I wear them with suspenders the length was actually perfect. The opening was a standard 8" which was about an inch wider than I prefer. I do my own pants alterations and that was a minor issue so I just tapered them myself.
My second suit was a double breasted suit... I had ordered this one before I had a chance to try the first so the issues were the same. Only problem though was that for a double breasted that length was way too long. They offered a remake and it came back perfect - jacket length, trouser length and leg opening. Their customer service was excellent and I subsequently bought two more which fit perfectly out of the box.
I would definitely recommend Indochino for anyone who wants a decent suit and dont have a ton of money to splurge.
If you are looking for a perfect fit out of the box then this may not be for you. You will need to get minor adjustments to ensure its perfect. If that's too much hastle and you have the money then by all means go bespoke.
Thanks for sharing that, Osbourne. One of the biggest things for me is that it's a fused garment. You're not going to get a ton of life out of that no matter how you look at it. I agree with you though, that for the price it's not completely terrible.
Your honesty regarding sponsor status of videos on this channel with pay dividends. Thank you!
It's the only way to be! Thanks for the comment!
Hey Brian, I really like this series. Would you be willing to continue this with other MTM brands? A few I've been curious about are pickashirt and Oliver Wicks.
Thanks for your honesty. I would have tried Indochino if they were near my location but they weren't. I would never buy a suit online, always go somewhere where they measure you.
You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for your honest review. I have a number of Indochino Suits, trousers and shirts. The fit is somewhere 90-95%. I then went to have it “dialed-in” and it has been a mess trying to get things correct. Very frustrating and some of the fabrics pucker and bubble (that fused construction). By and large though I have been very happy and have gotten tons of compliments. I just wish I was less impulsive with purchasing so many suits until I had the measurements exactly where I want them.
Thanks for the video. Got my first custom suit ever the other day from them. I must say my fitting was a great experience. I did not have an appointment. I was just walking around the mall and they accommodated me. The jacket fit was great for me. I just had to take it out a bit. However I did the measurements a year before purchasing a suit so I had put on some weight. I got a blue suit for $300. It was on sale.Mines were shipped in two weeks also It is not perfect , my pant leg could have also been a bit slimmer. However being oddly shaped it was a great feeling to a get a suit that truly compliments me. I would purchase again. I totally agree with what you said about the box situation. I love your view as a more seasoned suit buyer
That’s great to hear, Antonio. Appreciate you chiming in with your experience.
@@hespokestyle what is your oponion on brands like proper cloth for shirts and suits. I am considering buying a donegal wool shirt and blazer from them; as it is my favorite material . Also what about the tie bar. I love the way their shirts fit and also their tie options. I definetly buy from them and try to mimic your looks. Would you ever consider making a video on alternatives to your looks. I love your content but cannot afford what you wear.
Love your modesty and thoughtfulness on preproduction to give balanced opinions.
Indochino as a brand has always been wobbly like many others.
Thanks so much, Terence. Appreciate the comment and support.
In what way do you think"?
@@hespokestyle Like many other online MTM companies who focus on consumers new to menswear they often focus on marketing and trend-chasing as proofing. They also get away with less than ideal production standards as newbies 1) don't know what to look for and 2) may not have the experience or developed the personal taste to know a) their style b) what suits them.
Menswear is so much more in the detail and nuanced!
Indochino has worked great for me. For an average consumer at a financial level, indochino is one of the better ways of attaining a suit. I usually have to have my indochino suits altered, but again, for an average consumer, indochino is the way to go in terms of affordability. I still agree with your entire critique though!
Great perspective, Bryan. Appreciate the comment and support.
BLUF. Nice. Great to see this review and to see you doing well, Brian. Go blue.
Hey, Z! Hope you're well. Thanks for the comment. Sinta for life.
love the video was considering indochino, but ur video changed my mind. thnks.
You got it, Leland.
Love the transparency. Me though? My experiences were great. I really liked the guy I that worked with me in Tysons VA, but iffy with the one in Georgetown (Washington D.C. area). I definitely wasn't rushed my first time in the show room (Tysons VA). I agree with your critique with their format in their showroom with the long cloths out.
Just received my Indochino "Luxury" Harrowgate Charcoal Windowpane suit. My showroom/measurement experience was good, had a good staff member, answered all of my questions and took lots of measurements. The suit arrived within 4 weeks to Canada from China/Taiwan...so not bad. The fit is excellent for the most part, sleeves are a tad narrow at the cuff for a French cuff shirt, but otherwise, I'm impressed...and I'm a big guy who bought a tailored fit so not easy to get right. I'm marginally happy with the fabric quality. I chose one of the "Luxury" line fabrics and frankly it seems a little thin....so we'll see how it holds up. But the look of the fabric/pattern is nice. Honestly though, not sure if there's much difference between their Luxury fabrics line and the lower tier stuff, apart from pattern availability.
So we'll see how the suit works out long term....paid $800 and change CAD, with tax. I've spent twice that at Harry Rosen for made to measure and they f*cked up my orders twice! That said, the fabric was much nicer.
How’s it holding up ?
@@ethan7062 So far, so good. Although I've only worn it 3 or 4 times as I don't wear suits every day....usually weddings or other events and I have a few other suits in the rotation. But it looks good, seems to wear well.
I’ve seen my share of utube videos re men’s styling, and I have found them to be both useless, and sad. However these videos form He Spoke Style are spot on, I mean GREAT stuff and super accurate. I have been studying fashion for over forty years. Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. How REFRESHING!
I never comment to video offerings in this way, but I am so impressed that I wanted to let it be known.
Please keep up the GREAT, INSPIRING work.
