Overall a disappointing experience. I had concerns with the quality of the hems and edges. As you can see from the photos, the craftsmanship is lacking. The manager said that this quality was their standard and I shouldn’t worry. It’s the attention to detail that I found frustrating, even if it is not visible on the outside. I said that for $700, the hems and edges should at least look more professionally done. The manager said that this is what $700 gets you and if I wanted better quality, I should have gone to Harry Rosen and spend $4000 instead. I found this comment dismissive and unprofessional. Even $5 fast fashion clothes have better construction, which is ironic as these suits are made in a Chinese factory as well. I also had concerns with the fabric (it is cotton, linen, and silk). The fabric was pilling and stretched looking in so many areas, making the suit look used and old. The manager said I could just use scissors to remove the pilling and this was common in the fabric I chose. However, the quality of their garments should be their responsibility and a brand new custom made suit should not look used like that. Speaking of responsibility, they said they would remove the seams for the pockets. When I got back the suit, the seams were still there and the manager said I could remove them by hand carefully. He showed me how and I realized when I got home, he damaged the fabric from pulling the seams apart. I am not sure why he did not use a seam ripper to be more careful. Lastly, the fit was so ghastly when I first received it. It was baggy everywhere. While they did alterations as part of the final look, there are still areas that are so ill fitting. As someone with thick thighs and a big butt, they still somehow managed to make the pants look like a diaper on me. I get that the fabric does not stretch, but I did not want a diaper/balloon pants. After the alterations, the jacket started wrinkling at the back, indicating fit issues with the as well. I would not recommend Indochino to anyone. I am sure many people get what they want from them, but it does not seem like they care when some people get poor quality and ill-fitting outfits.
