Indochino Adventurer Blue Trenchcoat Review

Indochino Adventurer Blue Trenchcoat - 279$

When Indochino introduced their Spring Collection in March 2012, I knew there were a couple of things that had to become part of my wardrobe. I had had an eye on knit ties and chambray shirts for a couple of years already, but somehow never pulled the trigger on any of those. I saw my big chance now and ordered 2 of the chambray shirts, a golden/blue knit tie, a belt and a trenchcoat. Especially the trenchcoat was quite a bit of a risk, I knew the measurements for the suits, but wasn't sure if the outerwear measurements would work.

Double-breasted suits now available at Indochino

Long awaited, Indochino today finally re-introduced (they used to have that feature in 2009) double-breasted suits. The option is available on all suit jackets and blazers and you can choose it during the customization process (at the same step where you select the number of buttons for yours suit). Should work great with their new Linen Collection! 

Get ready for the summer - The Indochino Modern Linen Collection

Indochino 2012 Linen Suits - 379$ each

Long awaited by many, Indochino today released one of the most important collections of the year: the 2012 Linen Collection, dubbed the Modern Linen Collection. Indochino or rather, their creative mastermind and co-founder Heikal Gani, tried a new approach to linen and created a special fabric, consisting of 25% linen and 75% wool. What does this mean for you?

Ratio Clothing - Introduction & Review

Ratio Clothing is one of the most popular online MTM shirt makers around. They are also the only brand I know that manufacturers in the U.S. and still manages to keep prices reasonably low. This is quite unusual in times when most production is outsourced to Asian countries and that fact adds to the perceived value of the product. 

Coupon Alert: Various Shirt Deals

Quick alert for those of you who are interested in Indochino shirts. There are a couple of shirt deals online at the moment. One is the official one from Indochino's main site. If you buy a suit, you can get shirts for 69$ each - just use the coupon code SHIRT69. 

There are two more deals on fab.com (hadn't heard of them before, seems similar to Groupon). One deal is for a pack of 3 shirts for 199$ (33% off) and the other one for 3 shirts and 3 accessories for 249$ (44% off). Deals are valid until April 10th, 2012.

Disclaimer: These fab.com links above are referral links - if I get any referral credit, I will use it to buy that Indochino deal and give it away on the blog for free in a competition. I won't use any referral credit for myself. Update: 2 more uses of the referral link and I will be able to buy that deal with the three shirts as a giveaway.

Thanks to Steve for the info via a comment, there is also a deal for a Suit Utility Kit (tie, cufflinks, tie clip, pocket square) for Canadians.
