My thoughts. Not a complete disaster, the shoulders could definitely be improved and I did have to take the suit in to get the sleeves slimmed. I ran out of time and needed the suit back for a wedding so the sleeves are a bit longer than I'd like. That will be remedied as soon as I return to the tailor.

The fabric is terrible, but to be expected and is in alignment with the cost I suppose. The stitching is bad. I had the crotch blown out on first wear. There are loose strands everywhere and I feel like if I cut or pull on one of them the whole suit will just unravel.

Here are pics in action.

I purchased the "Ultimate Grey Suit"

think ive come to the end with this, dont see the point in another remake, when seems to be alot of guess work in this. i didnt change the pant length from my first one yet they are longer, and your right it is a diffrent fabric for the pants and the jacket and they where both the remakes. i thought it would be close enough to get minor alterations done but obviously not.

i think i could leave my measurements the same on there site ask for a remake and it would be a diffrent size... just doesnt make any sense to me.

looks good on you, but sad to hear about the quality of the fabric and construction. I can do much better with my $350.

I bought a suit from them, because I am poor, and it's hard to find my size. anyway, I think it came out alright after 1 remake.

Here is the only photo I could find, and please disregard the tie. I was pretty pleased, overall. given the price and all that, the suit seems like a fine buy.

Looks pretty darn good on you.

Sorry about that tie though...I'm sure it wasn't your first choice

Hi everyone,

I just got my suit today! My first impression is that this suit is well-made with great material.

However, upon trying them on, the jacket doesn't fit too well. I can't put my fingers on what's wrong but my best guess is sheeves too short, jacket too short, arm too tight.

Please tell me how should I fix this because I'll never go out if I look like this.

Really seems like indochino suits tend to look best on smaller guys. I had to go through one remake, and I am very happy with the end result. I'm looking forward to ordering my next one. Hopefully that first statement doesn't offend anyone who has not realized they are small.

I agree. I think the slimmer you are the easier it is for something to drape over and look OK.

Hi everyone,

I retook some pictures and the suit looks somewhat better. Please let me know what alteration should I make?

The sleeves are way too short on the jacket & the jacket itself is too short. The lapels are short and stout, but I think with a longer jacket, and consequently a lower buttoning point, they will look more proportionate. Everything else looks fine and subject to preference. I would, however, reccomend you undo the bottom button when you wear your jacket.

Wow, so many issues with these suits. the sleeves are too short as well as the jacket.

Just one guy's opinion: that suit looks bad on you, sorry. the shoulders don't look right, but maybe you have strange proportions.

Don't button the bottom button. and your pants look too short. the jacket is definitely too short. and the shirt you are wearing looks too long and baggy in the sleeves. I would suggest having it remade. How did the lapels even come out like that? Good luck !
