Reviewing Indochino: A Custom Bespoke Suit for My Husband

Back in April, I asked you all for some suggestions on where to buy fancy husband clothes. We have two weddings coming up within the next few months and my husband has NEVER owned a nice suit. Ever. It seemed like to perfect time to buy him a suit that fits him perfectly.

And then I looked at the prices.

I had NO IDEA that a man’s suit can typically cost between $700 – $1,000.

Sure, there were some less expensive options like hunting down deals at Marshalls, Nordstrom Rack, Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, etc. But I really wanted to get him a super awesome suit that actually fit him well and makes him feel like a million dollars.

Oh, I should probably mention that my husband is 6’4” with a long torso. So off-the-rack doesn’t always look great on him. Typically, I can luck out by buying him regular length pants/jeans and a “tall” version of a shirt (thank goodness for Banana Republic), but normal jackets are either too oversized or end up weirdly short. I swear, he will look totally fine and then he will lift his arms and suddenly be showing off his belly button like Pooh Bear.

My brother mentioned that he was going to try Indochino for his wedding suit and I immediately clicked over the website, checked it out a bit and booked an appointment!

We visited Indochino’s Bethesda showroom, which had just opened a couple days before. At the appointment, we met with Sean who measured Travis from top to bottom, put an okay fitting stock suit on him and then pinned it to exactly his specifications. After Sean had all the measurements entered in the computer, we walked around the store and made like 100 decisions.

I’m not kidding.

We picked the suit fabric.
We picked the lapel design.
We picked the buttons.
We picked the stitching colors.
We picked the inside monogram.
We even picked the super fun inside fabric.

So. Many. Choices. And Sean was there to help us every step of the way. After we made all our choices, he rung everything up and the suit ended up being just $379! A FULLY bespoke suit for less than $400?!

Here are some photos from around the store of just SOME of the options:

The order went in and we got an email and text about 4 weeks later to let us know that the suit was on its way to our house. Once we received it, we made a second appointment to have any final tailoring touches made.

We went back to the store and Sean and another specialist worked with Travis to make sure every single thing was perfect. They tightened the jacket a bit in the arms and loosened it a bit in the back. Oh yeah, and this was all included in the original price too… no extra nickel-and-diming us!

They sent the suit out for the final tailoring and I got a call about a week later that it was ready to pick up.

Of course, I wouldn’t be a blogger if I didn’t make my husband model his new suit on the front porch (hi Ollie)!

Look at that hunky hunk of hunkyness! SWOON.

We absolutely love his new suit. It fits him perfectly and will be great for all our upcoming fancy events. The best part is that now that all his final measurements are on file, if we ever need another suit all we have to do is click through on the Indochino website and order one!

Have any of you tried Indochino? Did you realize that made-to-order suits could be so reasonable?
