This one is one step higher than indochino in quality.

Was curious about this. I saw Indochino once... they set up a temp store in Grand Central in NYC a year or two ago... I thought the suits looked of poor quality even standing a few feet back from them. They just looked like they didn't hold their shape that well and the way the lapels folded down looked sort of sloppy.

I have a small number of nice suits and a few average suits, some of which are getting old and due for replacement, so I had been considering BL. Looking on the "quality" page of the Black Label site, I see that they do use half canvas construction (as opposed to fully fused w/glue), so it would seem they should hold their shape pretty well. I hate cheap fused suits that look bad after a dozen or so trips to the cleaners.

When you say BL is a step up from Indochino, is this the sort of thing you're talking about? (construction / the way it holds it's shape) Or other?
