Made-to-measure suiting is the way of the future, and Indochino is at the forefront of the movement. With showrooms across the United States and Canada, Indochino offers accessible, custom suiting at affordable prices. After booking an appointment with one of their in-house stylists you'll be able to build your custom suit from scratch—starting with the fabric and making your way through every detail of the suit. After you've finalized your design, the Indochino staff will take your measurements to ensure a proper fit, and once your order is placed, the custom suit will be shipped to your door in three weeks or less. The best part is that if the suit doesn't fit perfectly on the first try you can bring it into the showroom for adjustments by Indochino's team of tailors.
For my suit I designed a double breasted jacket with peak lapels in a clean Indigo Pebbleweave fabric. The subtle pattern and indigo hue offer a pleasant alternative to a standard navy suit without sacrificing any of the versatility. The suit can still easily be worn with black or brown shoes or even white sneakers if I want to keep things more casual. But my favorite way to wear this suit for summer is with loafers, a linen shirt and a knit tie. I love the way it turned out, and the fabric quality and fit of made-to-measure suiting can't be beat. From Indochino's outstanding customer experience to its beautiful final product, its custom suiting is something everyone should try.
Special thanks to Indochino for providing the suit.
