Indochino? Cheap?
Hi everyone,
I’m starting as an analyst at a consulting firm in the northeast in Jan. I’m starting to look at suits that I can realistically afford and I keep seeing Indochino. Theres a few posts mentioning them on WSO from like 2012, but nothing more recent.
So what’s the deal with Indochino? The price is pretty good for their premium suits. 100% cotton and has a “super 100 count”. They also have a fitting center near me, so for $400 each I think getting a freshly tailored suit sounds almost too good to be true..
Anyone have experience with Indochino? How is the quality and durability? I was thinking of getting 3 and making sure they all fit perfectly. I’d love to hear some opinions.
Cheers!
Right before I started IB, I went to Indochino and got 5 suits and a bunch of shirts. They were generally conservative color schemes (navy, charcoal suits with white/blue shirts). I thought they looked good since getting the right fit is more important than full canvas vs. half. Even in PE, I still wear some of the same one's from my analyst program although now they are starting to get a little faded.
I have heard some people ripping the pants relatively quickly but I never had an issue. I think you can order two pairs of suit pants after the fact but you'd need to check that.
SuitSupply is a much, much better option for entry level suits.
Just checked Suit Supply out. Thanks for the recommendation. $900 for their custom suits though. Total kick in the nads
Why do you absolutely need a custom suit though? Honestly, unless you have pretty weird body proportion, a off-the-rack suit well adjusted by a tailor is going to fit just as well (talking entry level, obviously a Gieves & Hawkes suit is going to fit like a million bucks, but it will cost close to that ;)
Take off the rack, get it fitted there and you'll be spending about 400 bucks. Great quality for the price
I have some from my intern years. They're, like, OK. I'm sure Suit Supply is probably a lot better (for higher $ though).
$400 is far too high though. They have regular sales that can go down to like $250-300. Pretty sure they have a Black Friday sale.
I would just get a non-tailored one from jos a banks or suit supply. I had to get mine re-tailored like three times and still don't really like the fit. I've also heard the quality doesn't hold up
Damn. Bummed to hear that. Thank you for voicing your experience with them
i got a couple suits from CombatGent and they seem fine....made in China...quality seems fine....lowest price i've ever seen for suits and tuxes.
I also got a tux from here (and my friend did also) and they were fine.

Check out 'Spier & Mackay'. SuitSupply quality but with lower prices as they often have sales.
Also try Enzo Custom (They have quite a few showrooms around the country) or Oliver Wicks (Online MTM and made in Europe).
I have 3 suits from Indochino and got them for around the $300 price ea on sale. They’re great, for the price and all of mine have lasted 5 yrs. They’re not like a designer Hugo Boss suit in quality, but like you said, since they’re tailored they look good. I 100% think they’re worth it for an everyday suit.
I got a navy Indochino suit for junior year interviews and then added a charcoal one before starting full time. I’ve always liked clothes and liked that I could customize a bit at that price point (~$400/suit), and they worked great for my analyst years. I upgraded to a Knot Standard suit when I was recruiting after getting promoted to associate but Indochino would’ve been totally fine. Have also gotten their shirts a few times when they do a 5 for $300 deal which last pretty well.
