I know, I know - Indochino gets really mixed reviews. I was hoping that I would have a positive experience with their traveling tailor, since I figured that the measurements would be right. I spent an hour with their master tailor getting everything measured, fitted, etc., and while I left the store happy, I am pretty disappointed at the end result.
The pants were more than 6 inches too long (possibly a full 10 inches?). The jacket sleeves were cut for french cuffs when I *specifically* said that I never, ever wear cuff links -- the sleeves are an inch too short. The arms were too tight, the chest bowed out, and the shoulders pulled. On the other hand, the shirt fit perfectly, and the suit jacket was the right length. I am having to decide whether or not I should try to get the suit tailored or should just return it outright. I know that it is easy enough to fix the pant length.
Do others have experience with trying to get the indochino suit jackets altered? They are telling me that they put enough fabric in to accomodate changes, but I also assumed that they would get it closer to right the first time.... thoughts?
(I also recommended that 2 friends get suits and they did -- 1 friend's suit jacket doesn't fit at all, and the other has yet to get his. I feel like a total jerk!)
