GIVEAWAY: Win A Custom Suit From Indochino

Hey, you. Yeah, you.

We've got some news. Indochino is coming to Chicago to throw its Traveling Tailor pop-up. And they want you there.

We're betting you've heard the name by now. But if you haven't, Indochino is an online company that makes custom suits based on your personal measurements. The result is a garment that fits like a glove. The process works pretty smoothly, but purists have scoffed about the fact that you don't go in for measurements or fittings. We get that—if you measure incorrectly, alterations (or worse) can be a pain in the ass.

It turns out that Indochino gets this, too. So, they're coming to town to take all the guesswork out of the equation. If you've held off because of unfamiliarity with how to measure, or just plain apprehension, this is your chance to get a closer look.

Here's how this will work: The Indochino team is setting up shop in Union Station's Great Hall from August 14 to 20. There, they'll take your measurements and walk you through a suite of customizations from lapels to lining to monograms.

The Vital Info:

When: Tuesday, August 14 to Monday, August 20. (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.)

Where: The Great Hall at Chicago's Union Station (210 S Canal St)

How: Walk-ins are welcome, but they're also offering a free suit utility kit when you purchase a suit after an appointment.
So: Book an appointment here.

We've been fascinated by the world of online custom suits for a while now, and we're just getting our feet wet. We tried a similar company ourselves, and we were blown away by the results. It certainly sold us on the gospel of custom clothing. Our friend Zach went the Indochino route for his wedding. And we gotta say: He looked like a million bucks.

But now, we'd like to hear what your experience is like—and you've got the chance to show us.

Here's the perk for you: We're hooking up one of you lucky dogs with a free suit from Indochino's "Essentials" collection. That's a $379 value. There are just a couple of rules.

• You've obviously gotta be able to get yourself to Chicago sometime between August 14 and 20.
• Tell us why you need this suit and how you're going to put it to good use. Do this by tweeting your answer to us @themidwestyle with the hashtags #SuitUpCHI and #MWSgiveaway (so we can get a bird's-eye  view of the entries.) It's important that we can get a hold of you so we can set you up with an appointment.
• One entry per person. We'll pick a random winner and get you outfitted.
• Contest ends on Sunday (August 12) at 11:59 p.m.

It also can't hurt to do some liking on Facebook (Midwestyle; Indochino) and some following on Twitter (@themidwestyle; @indochino). Good luck!
