Hot Shopping: Made-to-Measure at Indochino’s Pop-Up Store

Bespoke suits at Indochino's Traveling Tailor

It’s said that clothes make the man — but that’s only true if those clothes fit the man. Luckily, finding the perfect bespoke suit is easier than ever thanks to Indochino’s Traveling Tailor, a clever pop-up shop operating in downtown Ottawa this week. Just make an appointment (walk-ins are welcome too), and a team of stylists and tailors will provide a one-on-one consultation and help you put together the perfect suit, shirt, and accessories. And it’ll cost less than you think: basic bespoke suits start at an incredible $379. April 24-28, 8am to 8pm. 151 Slater St., Suite G089. For questions or to book an appointment, contact ottawatt@indochino.com.
