2 new Pinstripe Suits from Indochino

Today, 2 new pinstripe suits got added to Indochino's collection. Both priced at 479$ they are not quite as affordable as the basic suits at 379$, but also far less expensive than the Vincero Collection (all suits still available, by the way). I think today's additions will make a couple of people happy, there has been the occasional customer asking for for pinstriped suits on Facebook or Twitter recently.

There is also a special gimmick for those two suits, both of them feature a special lining - in one case geometric patterns, in the other retro circles. By the way, I overheard some chit-chat about new outerwear items in October, so I am really looking forward to that! I will give their outerwear a try this time.

Upcoming Indochino release - any guesses?

Indochino's product release teaser

According to Indochino's Twitter feed, we will see a new Indochino release next week. Usually, this should be either shirts or accessories (the Cotton Collection) is not so old yet. However, the above fabric shot rather looks like lining to me? Suitjamas was mentioned on Facebook, so were custom kimonos ;) Any other guesses? 

Indochino Blueprint Collection

The Indochino Blueprint Collection is the latest  addition to the Indochino suits and shirts lineup. In contrary to the past collections that focused  mainly on business and classic outfits, the Blueprint items are more fashion forward and daring.

A great inspiration clearly and admittedly was Etro (lining, coloured collar felts) and Paul Smith. As a little goodie, fitting pocket squares are included with each suit. One a couple of suits the Etro idea is nicely and convincingly implemented. A personal favourite of mine is the "Blueprint Windowpane" suit, featuring an orange collar felt and paisley lining together with brown buttonholes.

Some other suits are less to my taste, especially those containing polyester and very bright blue and flashy lining...but to each their own.

In the updated Stylebook I believe they also "nicked" an idea from Dennis Cahlo (or rather, as "Foster" informed me, from The Satorialist), who not so long ago suggested to use the functional boutonnière for earphones and the ticket pocket for mp3 players. Gotta learn from the best, right?

Dennis Cahlo's suggestion

Overall, the new collection adds a couple of great new styles and and exciting suits. I guess only time will tell if the improvements in shoulder style and suit construction were indeed implemented, as promised in the interview a while ago.
