I recently bought Indochino's essential navy suit (here: http://www.indochino.com/product/The...tial-Navy-Suit) based on the recommendations here and from other men's style sites I like. I picked up the coupon from a few weeks ago ($370 for a suit, shirt, and tie) which seemed like a great deal. Now I confess I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse.
The jacket fits ok. The shoulders seem a bit on the large side, but it's not really a problem. It's not as fitted as I prefer my jackets, but I can have it brought in without much trouble.
It's the pants that are the real problem. They are pretty loose in the seat and the inseam. The pants leg itself is enormous through the thigh and cuff and there is huge break at my shoes. I'm not much for tapered men's pants, but I do prefer a slimmer, straight leg with a very slight break.
I took my measurements while wearing a suit that fits me quite well, so I'm not sure how this happened. I probably gave myself a little room in some of the measurements, but no more than .25". Now I think I should have sized down--which I thought was a no-no for custom tailoring.
So, sorry for the long winded posts. My questions for you guys:
1) what's your experience with Indochino customer support? I have a remake request in, but no idea if they'll accept it.
2) I don't know much about tailoring. I know the jacket shoulders are a lost cause (but again it's not a huge problem). What about the problems I described in the pants? Can those be fixed? If I had to guess I'd say leg circumference yes, seat and inseam no. But again, I just don't know too much about it.
3) General thoughts about Indochino? I know Joe likes 'em, and I've gotten a lot of GREAT recommendations from the site. So I'm a bit surprised this has turned out like it has.
Thanks for your help fellas!
