Is $50 for a shirt not still expensive?

not for made to measure it's not

That's pretty much the price for a Men's Warehouse shirt. except with this you can pick the fabric, all of the details, and it's 100% custom fitted.

These coupons should also still work -- handier if you're making a more expensive order:
mycouponswinter (10% off, 2 free shirts, expires 01/12/11)
couponcabin (13% off, 1 free shirt, expires 30/11/10)
couponsnapshotfall (11% off, 1 free shirt, 1 free accessory, expires 30/11/2010)
MYCOUPONS (20% off, expires 30/10/2010, but still works as of November 15)

mycouponswinter did not work, but the couponsnapshotfall worked great.

I'm pretty sure MFA loves Indochino, but it can't hurt to ask for opinions and any redditor experiences with them.

I've had mostly good experiences with them. The suits aren't great in quality, but are somewhere around what you'd find in a mid-range department store. On the other hand, I love their shirts. Their products do fit very well, and while I have no experience in sending a suit back in, they do honor the credit you get for tailors.
As far as the price goes, I like Indochino because, as a 34s, it's hard for me to find suits that aren't made to measure, and I think they're one of the better values.
This deal isn't great since their shirts are $99 and they don't have much in the $25-$79, unless you wanted to buy a tie or a pocket square, but those are terrible values. If you can find something you want, go for it, but if I used this deal I'd probably be buying two shirts for a total of $125 after the coupon, which barely feels like a sale to me.

Actually, I'd say the suits are better quality than department stores. Their wools seem finer, and their suits are half-canvassed, where as deparment stores have 100% fused suits.

Agreed - the shirts are great..

Can you use 2 of these at once? $289 for a blazer is a bit out of my price range, but $139 might be a bit closer.

Limit 1 per order.

I saw that but I didn't know if that was when ordering the credit on Groupon or when using it on Indochino. I'm sure you're right though, I was just being hopeful.

I got in on this. Picking up a shirt ($99) and a set of cuff links ($25).

I got in on this Groupon, I'm excited. I have a charcoal suit from Indochino I bought about 2 years ago that I love, and from what I hear their quality has actually improved a lot since then, and it looks like they have a lot more customization options now as well.
Right now I'm trying to figure out what I want to get...I'm thinking either one of their gray suits or a blazer of some sort.

you guys are going to laugh at me - I'm totally new to this subreddit. I had never heard of this brand. I thought the submission was sarcastic, as in, all these clothes are made in sweatshops in Asia... :(
p.s. I'm a lawyer and I usually go for traditional cut suits. Is this a good place for that?
Welcome aboard the MFA train.
There's a lot of love for Indochino here - mostly due to the tailor-made fits, whether you're looking for a slim fitting or a more traditional cut suit, at a pretty decent price.
Good place to start is their video page
Edit: Also, they probably are made in a sweatshop in an unknown sovereign Asian province, but at least they're fitted.
There is indeed alot of love, but theres also a ton of hate.
Run a search for "indochino" in the /mfa search bar and you'll see some reviews from previous customers.
Yeah, I recall this guy as the worst of experiences. But IMO, I think he's just confused in this world and his tailor is just an asshole.
Could very well be or I could be telling the honest truth and you'll just have to factor that in as well. I didn't want to post a response originally as I know some people have had good experiences. I happened to have a very bad one. Take it as you will.
They're made in Hong Kong, not really sweatshop territory.
According to this http://www.indochino.com/uploadfile/201003112143117358.jpg it's some sweatshop in Shanghai.
As an aside, Hong Kong is beautiful
Having been to Hong Kong, I can say it is beautiful.

I had no idea you could get tailor made suits in unknown sovereign provinces. I thought they had to at least be former colonies :P
thanks for the tip
