INDOCHINO Pledges to Suit Up 25,000 Grooms for Free

Around 6,200 weddings are taking place at any given time in North America each day. That means there are a lot of grooms and groomsmen who need to get suited up. Vancouver-based custom suit maker INDOCHINO made an ambitious pledge to suit up to 25,000 grooms for free in 2016. Of course, there’s a catch, but it’s an easy one: “Any groom whose wedding party of four or more groomsmen is outfitted by INDOCHINO will receive his own made to measure suit free of charge.”.

Here’s How It Works:

Step 1. Schedule an appointment at one of INDOCHINO’S seven showrooms for the groom and his groomsmen.

Step 2. A Style Guide will personally work alongside the wedding party to design each suit in INDOCHINO’s Groom’s Lounge – a dedicated space to relax and enjoy the experience. Get measured, browse from an incredible range of suit, tuxedo and shirt fabrics and select customizations that include lapel, lining, buttons, collar, cuffs, monogram, and more.

Step 3.  Grooms and groomsmen can expect delivery within 4 weeks, at which time INDOCHINO will invite the wedding party back to the showroom to ensure a perfect fit and complete satisfaction.   

Grooms and groomsmen can visit any one of INDOCHINO’s seven showroom locations in New York, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto and Vancouver.

“A wedding is one of the biggest days in a man’s life and we want to ensure the groom and his groomsmen will look and feel their best on the big day. Of course, if we can help remove some of the stress of wedding planning with a free suit – we’re happy to help,” said Drew Green, CEO of INDOCHINO. “From the moment a groom steps into our showroom to when his party’s coordinated, picture-perfect outfits are delivered, every INDOCHINO customer will feel the made to measure difference.

Who wouldn’t want a custom-made suit for their wedding day? How could anybody turn down an offer that good?

Stand out with new summer colors from Hockerty
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

The summer is in full swing. That means you are likely dealing with the rising temperatures to the point that you are sitting back and missing the blizzards of January. I remember standing on the corner of a street in New York and watching the snowflakes fall, thinking, "I can't wait for summer and baseball." Now, I am looking back and thinking about those temperatures, and I am wishing I had enjoyed them more. As I bake like a chicken on the streets of New York, I think about how to dress for the office while dying of heat stroke. The answer? Hockerty's new Summer Edit brings light and breathable fabrics while also adding in the kinds of colors that will take your wardrobe from stylish to functional without leaving the style behind.

Luminox’s new Adventure Watch trades tactical black for a weathered, vintage look
The Swiss brand's latest field watch wears a pre-aged "IP Antique" finish and leather straps, priced at $795.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox usually builds watches that look ready for a covert night operation — but its newest one looks ready for a 1950s expedition instead.

The Pfäffikon, Switzerland–based brand just dropped the Adventure Watch, a field watch styled after the timepieces of the early exploration days but built to Luminox's modern military-grade standards.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
