Indochino Custom Suits
Historically, custom suits have been the sole purview of the wealthy and glamorous (Marlon Brando), and the wealthy and freakishly disproportionate (Shaq, Marlon Brando). Bringing bespoke to the everyman: Indochino.  The lovechild of a Canadian commerce student and a Singaporean fashionista, Indo cuts wildly affordable custom two- and three-pieces in Shanghai, employing local family-run tailors -- just like everyone else, except Indo's happy to tell you their gear's made in Chino. Just pick from their 20+ always-in-flux offerings, then either pop in your height/weight/waist, or go fully custom; Indo'll send you a tape measure for a buck (along with free fabric samples), then walk you through their measuring process, which can be completed in 12 minutes with the help of a friend (unfortunately, that's what she said). Ranging from tweeds, to tuxes, to white-on-whites, to I-banker pinstriped jobs, the suits top out at $395, but most come in comfortably under that, notably the $200 "No Frills Charcoal" -- which offers nearly as much flavor and far less spontaneous combustibility as the pricier "Match-Lit Smoky Mesquite".
Indo also peddles shirts, coats, cufflinks, and ties, offers a money-back guarantee on all buys, and in case you still need to make some tweaks once you get your duds, gives you the first $25 worth of alterations free -- which'll neatly cover the freakish process of disproportioning, from "The Wild One" through "The Island of Dr. Moreau".
