I am getting a suit tailored soon. Give me recommendations for materials, colours and all sort of other poofish details. I know that due to my build single breasted always works best.
I am getting it mostly for social type events as I've not had to wear one for work for over six years.
I don't want to look like a corporate type as I did that before and I also don't want to look too eastend gangster either, although that might happen irrespective of the suit. Vaguely Victorian gent or Imperial adventurer without getting into historical re-enactment territory is more the look I want.
Material all depends how much money you've got, really. I dream of having a mohair suit one day but I think that's probably going to remain a dream for quite some time.
If you're getting it tailored then I think the best advice anyone can possibly give is to talk to your tailor as much as you can. If you explain to him that you don't want your suit to look too businessman then he'll probably understand what you mean and show you the right swatches. I've only really perused mod tailoring circles online but the advice they all give is that it's your suit and your money so if there's any doubt in your mind over it or if your tailor's a bit of a cock then just go somewhere else.
