I also think 120$ for pants is a bit steep. Especially when you consider the other 10$ you have to spend for hemming. Men hate shopping yes. But Men hate being measured by a tailor more than shopping and driving to the tailor, then driving back in 2 weeks for pants.

Huh, I guess you're right--I'm surprised they don't let you specify a length. I guess it's like outsourcing since they're a startup. I don't know if they still do, but Lands' End used to let you specify a length even down to the 1/4 in. (they also used to have custom pants options).

Indochino is supposed to be good for buying online tailored suits and shirts with "easy returns", etc. http://www.indochino.com http://www.indochino.com I always thought it sounded interesting, though I don't wear suits often enough to have bought one since I first heard about Indochino. You'd think if this company could make entire suits to fit (surely "outsourced"), Bonobos could do hemming.

  Best way to get hemmed is through a tailor, in person, while wearing the pants and the shoes you expect to wear with it. It's going to vary for each wearer.

  I can personally vouch for Indochino. I'm a very slim guy and had always struggled to find a suit that fit just right. I have ordered two suits from them; I sent my measurements and I received a perfectly-fitted suit in less than a week. They even sent a voucher for tailoring (which I never had to use). I'm of the opinion that you get what you pay for with clothing, and I don't think Bonobos is very expensive for nicely-made pants (you can easily spend much, much more). Indochino happens to be a nice exception. My suits fit as well as (or better than) my friends' $1000+ Italian suits. Edit: Regarding the "outsourced" comment, Indochino is a team of 6 in Canada that employs 50 tailors in Shanghai.
