The new Twilight cast? No, the Indochino Deco Collection 2012. |
Yes, long title, but there is also a lot to talk about. It's been a while since Indochino's last big collection, but now it is here and it's a big one. The Deco Collection consist of 14 new suits & blazers, 2 coats, 8 shirts, finally and just at the right time, 6 wool ties and a couple of glittery accessories.
Indochino has moved on from the Superhero theme and dives right into the 1920s. Great patterns, heavier fabrics including both flannel and tweed, bold linings (100% silk!) and, similar to what we had with the Superhero Collection, lapel pins.
Photos are really well done again, the settings are excellent and the suits appear great. Yes, I do like this one a lot and the theme appeals to me quite a bit more than the Superhero one. Before I go into details about some of the standout pieces, I quickly want to refer to a recent review of Indochino done by bespoke tailor Jeffrey Diduch. Read the review, I think it's a great example of how Indochino improved over the last years and where they stand now.
Let's take a look at some of the standout pieces. As for suits, the single one I probably like most is The Bootlegger Blue Tweed Suit pictured below. 100% Australian Merino Wool, Super 100s fabric, very nice texture and colour. Sells for 399$, a fair price I think.
The Bootlegger Blue Tweed Suit - 399$ |
The Mack Red Melange Toggle Coat - 349$ |
The Bruno Brown Tweed Blazer - 249$ |
