Furthermore, the same applies to the Steve Nash Charcoal Suit, also 299$ instead of 499$ with coupon code NASHCHARCOAL.

[EXPIRED] Indochino Coupon Alert: Shirts for 49$ instead of 99$

Indochino Shirt Sale - get each shirt for 49$ - valid until November 22nd, 2011

Indochino is having a shirt sale again, this time it's shirts for 49$ instead of 99$ (that is almost 50% discount) with a suit purchase. At 49$, their shirts are a an excellent deal - even Wooly Llama (comment section) would agree. There is a vast selection of shirts available at the moment, there should be something for everyone. Be advised that the deal only works if you are buying a suit as well. There are also a couple of personalized coupon codes being sent out - 25% off 600$ - but I am not sure if they can be used for other accounts as well (in case someone doesn't want to use his).

[EXPIRED] Special chance!
A user who has received a 25% code (for a purchase of min. 600$) decided to share it with you guys, as he is not going to use it. We are not sure if it works, might be that his coupon code is tied to his account, but I guess it is worth a try. If it works, it will probably only work once, so the first to use it will get the 25% off. The code is 25off600_826130. Good luck and let us know in the comments if it worked!

Call for pictures/infos:

Today is the first day of the Indochino pop-up store in Vancouver. If anyone is going there, I'd love to see some pics and stories for an article on the blog!

Steve Nash suit/new packaging

Just received my new Steve Nash suit - the Gray Glen Plaid. First suit with the new packaging, it's really big - see some pics below - review as soon as I find the time. 

Steve Nash invests in Indochino and gets his own Collection - Introducing the Steve Nash Collection

Indochino promised us their biggest collection to date and in a way, it is true - it is their biggest collection, because Steve Nash might just be their biggest (as in tallest) model to date. I assume you all know Steve Nash, the Canadian basketball star. He is also an investor in Indochino (introduced to the company via Jeff Mellett, another Indochino investor) and today he got his own collection, the Steve Nash Collection. 

It's a clever marketing move by Indochino, using a strong Canadian testimonial for their brand. There had been a cooperation between Nash and Indochino before, for a charity and featuring the Showdown In Chinatown suit. I don't know if Steve Nash is perceived as a style icon by the general public, but he surely seems to have the necessary enthusiasm for suits. Here is what Mr Nash himself has to say about the collection:

“I have a huge passion for men’s apparel and brands that are innovative,” said Nash. “So, it is extremely exciting for me to be a part of a brand like Indochino and to have the opportunity to design my own signature collection with them.” (source: http://www.techvibes.com/blog/steve-nash-invests-in-and-launches-his-own-suit-collection-with-indochino-2011-10-25)

The Steve Nash Collection consists of 6 new suits, 4 new ties, a selection of pocket squares and 3 new cufflinks. As for the suits, standout features include:

• Nailhead fabrics (4 different colors, all 100% Merino Wool)
• Prince of Wales fabric (100% Merino Wool)
• Glen Plaid fabric (100% Merino Wool)
• colored collar felts (matching the suit color) 
• special polka dots linings (available in 4 colors)

Prices range from 499$ for the 2-piece suits to 579$ for the 3-piece suits, ties are 49$ each, pocket squares and cufflinks are 39$ a piece.

The new suits are mostly pretty versatile with a twist (nailhead). Available in blue, brown, charcoal and gray the nailhead suits don't have any fancy plaid or striped patterns and can be worn with a number of ties and shirts - and pocket squares, if you want to. If you already have your standard navy and charcoal suit in your wardrobe, a nailhead version might be a nice addition - the brown one also looks great, surely makes you stand out from the crowd, especially on a closer look.

My personal favorite however is the Gray Glen Plaid Suit. Just like all other suits in this collection it is made from 100% Merino Wool and it has a bit of a rougher look to it, perfect for the late fall/winter weather in my opinion - I ordered this one, with pants cuffs, think it goes well with fabric and style. To see an overview of all the new suits and some more details on the collection go here.

As mentioned, there is also a number of pocket squares and ties available, see below for an overview.

Overall, an interesting new collection - I personally don't care much about who designed or models for Indochino, but the collection itself is pretty cool - I like the nailhead fabrics and the glen plaid a lot, the pocket squares and ties are interesting, but a tad expensive (as usual). Overall, Indochino has had some great releases lately and their updated production process (digital cutting) was also a huge step forward. Pity I am not in Vancouver, I would love to go go to their pop-up store - as a tailor measures you there, the risk of having wrong measurements is basically terminated.

Last but not least, there is also a Facebook Competition (value: 4000$)

...by the way

I did some research on Steve Nash and men's style and Indochino is actually not his first time as a suit model. According to an article on guyism.com, Mr Nash already modelled for Sears back in 1996 - with limited success - guyism.com lists him as number 2 of the 25 worst NBA draft suits of all-time. However, Steve Nash's interest in (and sense for) men's fashion has surely increased since then.

As you might have heard or read, Indochino is co-sponsoring the Steve Nash foundation and the Showdown in Chinatown event - more about it here. Indochino CEO Kyle Vucko himself is twittering live from the event right at this moment, watch the Indochino Twitter channel for updates and more pics. There is also a photo album on Indochino's Facebook page. 


I will update this article with photos and info as the event progresses. By the way, I wonder if they all got a chance to try their suits before? I'd think so!

So those seem to be the Moda ties - but they are wider than on the website, right?

Indochino to help Steve Nash Foundation with special suit

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.
