CANNONBALL gets you 20% off swimwear at bonobos.

Dockers has a lot of stuff on sale with no minimum free shipping. Also, if you sign up for their email newsletter, you get an extra 20% off. That brings a pair of D1s down to $32. Hard to pass that up.

I'm curious about the Indochino promo. I know they have a good relatively rep here and on Primer, but I've also read that their tailors take creative liberties with sizing and it can be spot on or a frumpy mess. I know they have the tailoring credit, but still...

[tdig]

Tailoring credit and a guarantee. I've been waiting for another deal to pop up to give them a try. Between the credit and the guarantee, I'm confident it'll eventually fit the way I want it. Key word though is eventually. I've heard of people who got it right the first time and love the fit immediately. Others I know have had to wait longer for fixes.

@tdig, Valid points. I've always wanted to give them a try myself. Now trying to decide btw the light grey or navy.

[tdig]

Personally, I really like the shade of their essential gray and find that colored suit more difficult to find than a solid navy. I'm going to get the Essential Gray with peak lapel, 2 button, functional lapel and functional buttonholes, pen pocket, navy lining, ticket pocket, and contrasting buttonhole. Can't decide on slanted or regular pockets though.

@BJ, I think the Dockers had shipping free for orders of 100$+


Where did you see the no-minimum free shipping?

[RiveDroit]

Very true about the challenge in finding a nice grey suit.

@pratyk, it looks like that was part of the email promo. 20% off plus free shipping

[pratyk]

tdig - I would recommend notch lapels. The lapels are very prominent on that color suit, unlike a navy or a black suit where you can hardly see them in most lighting. Personal taste, but it makes sense to aim down the middle of the road with a grey suit.


I would strongly recommend not getting functional cuffs on your first Indochino suit. Maybe not even until your third from them. You'll eat up that $75 credit very quickly if you have to alter functional cuffs. I regret getting them on my second Indochino suit because they lost functionality in the alterations because I didn't want to spend $100+ to get them altered to maintain functionality.


Go with regular pockets! The ticket pocket is a nice touch.

[nicholascrawford]

To anyone pondering the Indochino deal - go with the Spot On Navy tie. It's incredibly useful.

[tdig]

Thanks for the words of wisdom nicholas. I'll definitely go with the nonfunctional buttonholes and regular pockets. Still on the fence though with peak lapels. I dont have any suits with peak lapels and I've always been a big fan.

@pratyk, this is a different email. It's a promo you get when you sign up for their newsletter. See here:

Nicholas, how dark is the shade of grey? On your picture and on Primer (http://goo.gl/nJz8g) It looks ideal for me (I already have a charcoal one).
