Indochino Suits For Men Are Just in Time for Wedding Season

Wedding season can be difficult. Without the inside scoop on the latest trends and the advice on the best threads, it’s all too easy to be caught going too casual, too formal, and just simply out of style. Fortunately, Indochino has got you covered.

The online and retail custom suitmaker crafts are made to measure pieces that are fabricated to wearers’ individual measurements and look preferences to attain a flawless fit with endless ways to customize. Originally founded as an online retailer in 2007, Indochino has the know-how to assure an elevated digital experience with access from almost anywhere in the world. With Indochino’s 75+  showrooms open in Canada and the United States, customers can immerse themselves in a multi-channel experience to get into the perfect suit for this upcoming spring and summer’s nuptial celebrations, no matter what the occasion.

Indochino | Behind the Brand

“I think a lot of what we do is going against the grain,” CEO Drew Green said in Indochino’s Behind the Brand video. “Bespoke, made-to-measure, custom, was traditionally only available in store. We were the first to bring it online. As we went through that journey, we really felt that in order to connect with the consumer, we needed to give them true options; really provide an engaging experience that they would enjoy and remember.”

Indeed, online and in-store, Indochino men can get creative to align with their choices. This includes standing out with seasonal colors, patterns, materials, tailoring length, suit fit, lapel sizes, and if you want to add personalized options like a monogram, and more.

“Our showroom is a little different than your traditional suit store,” vice president of retail Dean Handspiker said. “There’s thousands of options in booklets and we provide expert advice for what people are looking for. Swatches we display in one meter by one-meter scale, so that you can get a feel for what fabric will look like.”

The magic of Indochino’s system is that you can reorder online with these measurements and custom settings once they’re already in the system, saving you the time and effort from having to go in for fitting and adjustments every time you buy a suit. This is a big help, especially this year.

As of January, Handspiker said, 42% of Indochino’s in-store appointments were wedding-related, which is a huge upswing that early in the season. With many weddings delayed over the past two years, this wedding season is going to be a big one. Indochino is aiming to be there for all men’s needs.

“We see with a lot of men, this is not just their introduction to Indochino, but also an intro to suiting,” Handspiker said. “We’re there to support them through all choices — matching shoes, lapels, deciding on one button, no button, or two-button suits, and more. Off the rack, you’re not going to have that level of service.”

So What’s in Style in 2022?

“We’ve seen a shift in colors in the past couple of years,” Handspiker said. “Blues and grays have been the de facto colors (and still are to a certain extent), but now we’ve seen a rise of neutral tones. Early indications are that green will be very popular this year. We’ve added a line of spring pastels and even bright colors that will be arriving shortly.”

These delayed celebrations have also increased the formality of weddings and Indochino’s tuxedo business is already going strong this year with formal dinner jackets following suit. Wearers can never go wrong with a traditional black tux, but rules have loosened up a bit when it comes to formal wear. Indochino now offers a “gorgeous” midnight blue/navy formal option that helps the guy who wants to stand out a little bit. Why buy a tuxedo instead of just renting?

“It’s the most advanced thing in men’s style,” Handspiker said. “The lapels might go in or out in width, but tuxedos are going to last you at least 10 years before you’re going to need a new one. And at a $529 price point, we make them really accessible.”

Got a destination wedding? Indochino even designed a suit that travels easily. The apparel company’s Howell Traveler suit is wrinkle, stain, and water-resistant, with added stretch for extra comfort on the road. And if you’re planning to wear linen to a beach wedding, Indochino advises bringing a travel steamer to remove wrinkles because linen crumples easily.

All in all, if you’re going to ensure that you’re looking fly for the spring and dapper this summer, Indochino has got all the flavors to fit into any wedding setting.

Grand Seiko’s claw-inspired watch costs $16,400
Angular evolution: Grand seiko's tokyo lion tentagraph features brilliant hard titanium construction
Grand Seiko Tokyo Lion

Grand Seiko added a watch to its Tokyo Lion collection— the Sport Collection Tokyo Lion Tentagraph. This watch comes with the brand's first mechanical chronograph movement and holds to the angular design that has set the series apart since 2019. The watch costs $16,400 and will be available in August 2025. This 43mm watch shows a clear step forward for the collection.
The lion sign stays important to Grand Seiko's identity—it stands for how easy a watch is to read, how long it lasts, how comfortable it feels, and how good it looks. This symbol has been part of the brand's history since 1960. The Tokyo Lion collection turns this symbol into a bold, angular shape that copies a lion's paw through its geometric form and surface finishes.
The newest Tentagraph watch shows more of the feline idea. Its surfaces have hairline finishes that look like claws, and this design brings out cat-like shapes across the case. The watch measures 43mm across and 15.6mm thick—these large sizes catch the eye right away. The watch feels good to wear because of how it is shaped to the body.
Grand Seiko uses Brilliant Hard Titanium in the Sports Collection for the first time. This metal is twice as hard as regular stainless steel. The alloy looks brighter than common titanium and also resists rust and scratches better, which is needed for sports watches.
The chronograph buttons have a new shape—this change makes them easier to use when someone is active. The three small dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock look three-dimensional. A Lumibrite coating on them makes sure a person can read them in all light, from bright day to full dark.
A brown silicon rubber strap comes with the watch, it has a lion's paw design on the back that adds a subtle design touch. The strap bends easily, so it feels good to wear. The case back has a slight curve. These details make the watch comfortable to wear in many places, and the watch also holds out against water down to 200 meters.
The Tentagraph Caliber 9SC5 is the main technical feature. It has a chronograph part that works at 5Hz. This fast-moving part runs for 72 hours on one charge and also protects against magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m—these are important features for a modern sports watch.
The chronograph functions add to the Tokyo Lion's sports appeal while keeping the collection's specific look. Grand Seiko's mechanical skill joins with its angular design idea, forming watches that go against how people usually think about sports watches.
People can get the watch in August 2025. It will be on Grand Seiko's website and at stores that sell its watches, this makes it easy for people around the world to buy good Japanese mechanical watches. The $16,400 price shows the better materials, the in-house movement, and the special design that set Grand Seiko's sports watches apart.
This Tentagraph shows Grand Seiko's continued step forward in expensive sports watches. It shows how old Japanese craftsmanship can take on modern design styles while keeping its technical lead and wearing comfort for demanding uses.

Gaming meets horology in Hamilton’s Death Stranding 2 timepiece
Hamilton's Kojima collaboration creates futuristic death stranding 2 timepiece
Hamilton Death Stranding 2 watch

Hamilton takes its first step into gaming by working with Kojima Productions to make a special watch for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. This work shows a change from the brand's well-known movie projects, such as Interstellar, Dune: Part Two, and Indiana Jones—it represents Hamilton's initial move into interactive entertainment.
The partnership joins Hamilton with game designer Hideo Kojima, whose studio works under the motto "From Sapiens to Ludens" while reshaping interactive entertainment. Death Stranding 2 continues the science fiction story of Sam—this story happens in a post-apocalyptic place where life and death mix through emotional plots, exploration, and strange pictures.
"Hamilton was a perfect choice as a partner to design and create a product set in the near future. Please take this watch in your hands and experience the product that connects the world of the game and the real world," explains Hideo Kojima, emphasizing the bridge between virtual and physical experiences.
The American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition displays a titanium case build with black PVD treatment that draws from Hamilton's original Boulton plan. The light, rust-proof structure shows smooth, curving lines that copy the game's distinct look while holding up well.
Seven sapphire crystals form the watch's most noticeable part. One main crystal sits in the middle, and six others pair along the case, this setup creates shifting light and a science fiction feel. The crystal layout shows the game's strange design ideas while helping people read the time.
The simple dial plan shows future plainness through grey hour markers, a bright orange seconds hand, and looped open hands that reflect the sapphire crystal pattern. A matching black PVD titanium bracelet finishes the rough, technical look suitable for post-apocalyptic journeys.
The watch includes a three-hand automatic movement with 25 jewels and an 80-hour power reserve. A Nivachron™ balance spring offers resistance to magnetism, shock, and temperature changes—these are necessary traits for surviving tough places, both virtual and real.
Art director Yoji Shinkawa worked on the design, combining Hamilton's movie history with the game's future setting. This work shows how classic Swiss watchmaking can adapt to current entertainment forms while keeping its technical quality.
The company produced 2,000 individually numbered watches. Each watch comes with special game-themed packaging that adds to its collector appeal. The work shows Hamilton's growth past traditional cinema projects into the growing gaming entertainment area.
This release puts Hamilton at the front of watch-gaming projects while honoring both brands' dedication to creative storytelling through their respective crafts.
