The Showdown in Chinatown Suit - 450$

Important Update: to read about the new Indochino Steve Nash Collection released on October 25, 2011, go here: http://www.indochino-review.com/2011/10/steve-nash-invests-in-indochino-and.html

Staying true to their weekly release cycle, Indochino today released a (kind of) new suit with a new lining (mystery solved - it is indeed lining). Limited to 50 pieces, the Showdown in Chinatown Suit is made specifically for the Steve Nash Foundation's Showdown in Chinatown - this special event gathers soccer and basketball athletes to raise money for underserved children around the world. Indochino is a co-sponsor and also donates all profits from the suit to support the Steve Nash Foundation.

The suit itself is basically the Ultimate Grey Suit (100% wool) with a special lining and a red collar felt. The price is a bit higher than usual, but as mentioned above, the profits go to the foundation.

Ultimate Grey Suit

Two recent Indochino purchases make my suit wardrobe pretty complete and my bank account pretty empty. I bought the Ultimate Grey Suit, one of those basic suits that everyone should have (and I didn't) and as I had a birthday recently, my girlfriend was so kind to gift me the Navy Walker Tweed Suit (great fabric, unfortunately already sold out, gladly I don't need a remake). I'm really happy with both of the suits, my measurements are really just as I need them now (I still always add half or quarter an inch here and there, mostly for the trousers and the jacket length). Please excuse the 5-o'clock-shadow, but it's Friday after all and I just didn't feel like shaving in the morning ;)

I'll do a proper review on both of them soon, but before that I'll take a little break and go on a 2-week vacation. Probably I won't manage to keep away from the blog completely, so if there is a new collection or something else big happening, you will hear from me. By the way, I have added another page to the blog, basically a collection of photos of people wearing their Indochino suits. Check it out at http://www.indochino-review.com/p/user-reviews.html.
