The Indochino Modern Dandy Collection - Selected Items

I saw what you did there with the socks, Indochino!

I want to take the chance and highlight a couple of items from the recently introduced Indochino Modern Dandy Collection. I've left the (closed) poll on the right side of the blog, as you can see it's a somewhat controversial collection. I'm a bit surprised about the result, I actually consider it a very good collection with a number of interesting items, new customisation options and some completely new additions rounding off the selection. You can read my initial review of the collection published a few weeks ago here.

Earl Gray Flannel Suit - $499

One of the suits I really like is the Earl Gray Flannel Suit. With 275gms it is a rather heavy fabric, ideal for the more chilly fall days. It may be a quite conservative choice, there are definitely suits with a more daring pattern out there, but I like how subtle, elegant and versatile this suit looks like. The only thing I don't like? The collar gap on the model.

Indochino also introduced a number of entirely new items, 3 of them pictured below. Flat caps are not for everyone, but they have been very much back in the news for 1-2 years now. Stylish leather gloves are a must for the colder days and why not try suspenders for a change - just don't forget to select suspender loops from the customisation options when ordering pants.

A couple of new Indochino suits

Indochino Charcoal Flannel Pinstripe Suit - $399

Indochino today released a couple of new suits. Actually, I am not entirely sure they are all completely new, I have a feeling I have seen some of them before. Nevertheless, there are a couple of interesting additions. There is one specific suit that I am interested in, because it would be a great fabric for winter. It's the Charcoal Flannel Pinstripe suit. Flannel is a quite heavy fabric, in this case 295 g/m. It's a pretty tense pinstripe version, so it's definitely not good for all occasions and makes it quite formal. On the other hand, the fabric gives it a little informality as well, so it's an interesting combination. 

I'd definitely recommend it with a simple shirt and tie (perhaps a wool tie), so you don't go overboard with the patterns. The suit is priced at $399, which is reasonable. I guess most of you have bought the suits you wanted during the Black Friday sale last month, but this could still be an interesting piece of garment. I don't believe there will be any bigger sales anymore this year, but I'd love to be wrong. If there is another sale, you can be sure to read about it here. 

I am also quite sure there will be another, bigger collection later this month. It's been a while since the last time and many suits have sold out already.

The new Twilight cast? No, the Indochino Deco Collection 2012.

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.
