Don't buy from indochino

Have had the worst experience with Indochino

My FH and I live 3 hours from the nearest city went suit shopping in May for our September wedding at the West ED… We went to a few off the rack places like Tip Top and Moors… An Indochino had just opened so we had him mesured there… When we got home we looked at photos and read reviews… Decided to order with Indochino since his body type is not typical and we would have to spend hundreds in alterations… We thought that we ordered early enough to deal with the possible production errors.

The first suit comes in and it is horrible, way too small, arms half way up his forarms… Not to mention the quality was crap… Phoned the 1-800 number and made an appointment for a suit fitting that weekend…Drive the 3 hours to the store when we arrive at the store and there is no record of the appointment but they will squeeze us in (thanks?)… We are told mesurments are incorrect… We point out they did the measurements, laugh it off was not completely unexpected based on reviews… They will remake suit… 1.5 hours there plus 3 hour drive home

Second suit comes in arms are the correct length but he can’t raise his arms… The only occasions he will be wearing it is weddings and funerals, hugging is manditory… Phone the store directly this time since customer service didn’t work so well last time… Made an appointment for that weekend drive the 6 hours round trip… Production issues blamed this time, laugh it off mistakes happen… Whatever, they will remake the suit jacket and alter the pants on site… So we leave the pants and drive home.

Third suit comes in Early in the week, he can now raise his arms about mid chest level but still feels as if he is going to Hulk out of it… We make an appoitment with the store yet again… Drive down yet again… He explains the issue and that we only have 25 days till we leave for our wedding at this point… They tell us there is nothing they can do and it should be fixable by alterations but they are booked solid so we will have to go somewhere else… I am beginning to get annoyed and point out we don’t live in the city and our small town doesn’t have a tailors… I then ask about the pants that they have had for over a month… They didn’t alter them because it is wedding season and they are swamped.

It was at this point I lost it and demanded our money back… They said fine but they want the suit back… As it is a weekend no upper management were available and that is all they were authorized to do… Absolutely unacceptable, he can’t wear off the rack, nor is there enough time to get a replacement… Not to mention the 20 hours of driving put into the damn thing… I will be calling the customer care line tomorrow but am not very hopeful

    Thsnks for the support... They have offered us a $100 credit towards tailoring so Troy is in the process of trying to find someone in town (the dry cleaners may have an out of house seemstress)... I'm still pretty pissed and have told him that I would rather marry him in his shirt sleeves than have that suit at my wedding but he wants to be a bit more dressy... I really wish we had gone to Harry Rosen during their January sale... Would have cost about the same when you take into account the time and gas.

    Holy moly!!! You've actually kept pretty calm I think. I'd be yelling and then crying, sometimes both. I'd be overwhelmed with the fact that my weddings so soon and you virtually have no suit, when you've invested so much time into getting one. That being said, at least your fiancé isn't settling and gunna wear a suit he feels like he can't even lift his arms in. That is bad customer service but at least he's not stuck with a bad suit! What are u going to do? My fiancé handled his suit I don't even know what it looks like lol ... so I don't know how long his took and all that. Are u going to go to moores? Or try to order off indochino online???

    This is the first time I have heard of Indochino having such poor service. My FH has ordered a few suits from them, including his wedding suit, and has never had problems. The first suit he ever ordered was when they were an online only store and he sent in his measurements and there were no problems. I think it may just be the people/location you went to. As they are a new store they may not have been ready for all the demand that would come with setting up in wedding season.

    I should add that my FH went for his measurements appointment July 10 and he recently got an e-mail saying his suit was shipped so generally they are pretty quick with things.

    I am sorry to hear that things did not go well for you and I hope everything works out.

    Wow this is awful I'm so sorry this happened to you guys Smiley sadI know you said you've tried Moores, but maybe you can go there again and explain your situation? I believe they are very quick with alterations. We are getting our custom suits from them and they said we have up u til 2 weeks before the wedding to change everything if we want. I hope you can get everything sorted out so you can enjoy your time leading up to the wedding and not be stressed Smiley sad
