Update: Indochino Measurements page now shows true garment measurements

I was writing about the changes on the measurement page some users have experienced yesterday. Thanks for your comments, I have also received info from Indochino about what actually happened.

Let me quote Chris, one of Indochino's concierges:

"We recently overhauled our back-end database to display customer account histories under the true garment measurements, rather than the physical measurements that were displayed before."

This is actually a pretty good thing, once you know what's going on. The measurements you originally take for your suit are translated into a digital pattern. After you received your suit you will have a base to work on and adjust your digital pattern according to your preferences. The digital pattern measurements now don't show what you had originally input, they show the true garment measurements. This makes it easier to determine the changes you need and makes the whole process more transparent.

So, if you see the measurements changed, there is no need to be concerned. Your suit should still fit fine (especially if it's not your first order and you got your measurements figured out) and if you still need to change something, it's easier to do so.

Indochino's Digital Cutting may result in measurement changes

As you may know, Indochino has recently invested heavily to introduce digital cutting and digital patterns. This is an important step to reduce inconsistency issues on repeat orders. This also means that your previous profile had to be translated into a digital pattern and thus, a couple of measurements may now have changed. 

It so happens that for me some measurements seem completely wrong and not representing what I measured, e.g. my chest measurement is now 41.5" compared to 38" originally. I guess we will see how that impacts my most recent order, a double-breasted pinstripe suit. 

Previously, Indochino always suggested not to panic and submit changes based on the garment. I will do so, but I would like to finally have a working profile that doesn't get changed around in the background. 

Not sure if all customers got their profile switched to digital patterns already, but does anyone else have completely different measurements suddenly?

Thanks to the anonmyous user sharing the deal with us in a comment over at the coupon section, I can inform you about a new deal up at Vente Privee (deal website similar to Groupon etc.). You can get an Essential Suit, a shirt and a tie for 329$ instead of 527$, that is a discount of 211$ or almost 38%.
