Indochino: Made-to-Measure Suits, Fabric Choices and the Showroom Fitting Explained

Indochino is a Vancouver-founded menswear brand that sells made-to-measure suits, shirts, blazers, trousers and outerwear. You can order online with your own measurements or get measured at an Indochino showroom in the US and Canada.

A good Indochino order depends on accurate measurements, a sensible fabric choice, and leaving enough time before the event you are dressing for.

Measuring online or in a showroom

Indochino offers an online measuring process with guides and questions about your build and fit preference. It works best with a second person holding the tape.

A showroom fitting uses sample garments to adjust fit. Many first-time buyers find the showroom route more reliable.

Your measurements are saved in your Indochino profile. Later orders become easier once the first suit fits well.

Choosing a fabric

Indochino sells suits in wool, wool blends, linen, cotton and other fabrics. Wool is the most versatile for year-round wear.

Check the fabric weight and composition on each product page. Linen suits summer weddings but creases easily.

For a first Indochino suit, navy or charcoal wool covers the most occasions.

Customising the details

Indochino lets you choose lapel style, buttons, vents, pockets, lining and monogramming. Some options may add to the price.

Keep details classic if you want the suit to last for years. Save bold linings for a second or third suit.

Fit preferences and style choices

Indochino asks how you like a suit to fit, from slim to more relaxed. Pick based on how you actually move, not only how the photos look.

A very slim fit looks sharp standing still but can pull when you sit or reach. If you will wear the suit all day, allow a little room.

Jacket length and trouser break are two details worth thinking about. A shorter jacket and no-break trousers look modern, while a longer jacket and slight break look more traditional.

Consider where you will wear the Indochino suit most. Office wear needs durability, while a wedding suit can be lighter and more distinctive.

Two-piece suits are the default, but Indochino also sells three-piece options with a waistcoat. A waistcoat adds formality and warmth.

Shirts matter too. Indochino makes custom shirts, and ordering one with your suit ensures the collar and cuffs sit correctly under the jacket.

Think about separates. A navy Indochino blazer and grey trousers can be worn apart, which gives more outfits from one order.

Take photos of your measurements and keep notes on what you changed. That helps if you need to adjust fit on a later Indochino order.

If you are ordering for a wedding party, coordinate fabric and colour with the other groomsmen. Indochino may offer group ordering, so check before everyone orders separately.

Finally, allow for your weight to change before the event. If you are training or dieting, measure close to the order date.

Delivery times

Made-to-measure takes longer than buying off the rack. Check the estimated delivery date at checkout.

Order well ahead of weddings and interviews. That leaves time for any adjustments.

Indochino suits are made to order and then shipped to you, so delivery can take longer during busy wedding and holiday seasons. Track the order and plan a try-on the day it arrives.

Alterations and remakes

Indochino has offered an alteration reimbursement or remake policy if the fit is off. Check the current terms before ordering.

Try the suit on as soon as it arrives. Report fit problems within the stated window.

Keep receipts for any tailoring you pay for, in case Indochino reimburses it.

Where the Indochino savings are

The $100 code is worth trying first on a single suit. A flat $100 beats 25% off on any order under $400.

On a larger Indochino basket, such as two suits and shirts, 25% off will save more than $100. Work out both totals in the cart.

The $50 code is a smaller fallback, useful on a shirt order or blazer. There may be a minimum spend on dollar codes, so check the cart.

Codes may not combine with Indochino bundle pricing. Compare the bundle price with a code on individual items.

Common questions

Is Indochino made to measure?

Yes, Indochino makes suits to your submitted measurements. It is not fully bespoke tailoring.

Do I need to visit an Indochino showroom?

No, you can measure yourself online. A showroom fitting can help on a first order.

How long does an Indochino suit take?

Made-to-measure takes a few weeks. Check the delivery estimate at checkout.

What if my Indochino suit does not fit?

Check the current alteration and remake policy. Report issues promptly.

Is Indochino good for a wedding?

Many grooms and groomsmen order Indochino suits for weddings because the fit is tailored and fabrics can be matched across the group. Order early, as made-to-measure takes weeks and a remake adds more time. A first fitting a couple of months before the date leaves room for fixes, and it gives local tailors time for any final tweaks.
