Indochino was founded on the belief that you don't need to spend a fortune on a custom wardrobe. By taking the premium made to measure experience direct to the consumer, we’ve created a superior alternative to off-the-rack clothing, at ready-to-wear prices. This approach has enabled Indochino to become the largest custom apparel company in the world. Customers step into the shoes of a designer to create custom suits, shirts, chinos, blazers and overcoats. They select from hundreds of fabrics and endless personalization options, including lapels, pockets, buttons, linings and monograms. These garments are then made to their precise measurements and shipped directly to their door within three weeks for a great fit, hassle free. Our immersive multi-channel experience enables customers to order their custom garments with ease online or in-person at one of over 30 showrooms across North America. We are proudly headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with offices in Dalian, China, and employ over 600 people globally.
