Buying a custom suit doesn’t get easier than shopping here, given that most of the process happens online. Choose the style, color, fabric and preferred accents of your bespoke suit on the website, then punch in your measurements (probably best to ask a friend for help). In about three to four weeks, your suit will arrive at your door; any necessary adjustments can be made without charge at Indochino’s FiDi store.

If you want to mimic the style of tight end Vernon Davis, surf legend Brad Gerlach or Geographer lead singer Mike Deni, shop the celebrity-curated collections here. Make an appointment with one of the store’s outfitters (they’ll meet you anywhere) to create a collection of perfectly tailored sweaters, denim, suits, blazers and more. Your measurements and style preferences will be stored in the cloud, so if you want to place another order, you can skip the appointment and have everything shipped straight to your home.
