Have any of you guys gotten a fully tailored suit?
I'm going to treat myself to a grad present come April and I was thinking about getting something custom done.
I'm just hoping to get some tips in terms of what I should be looking for in terms of materials. My friend who I'm going through said this will be doneout in Japan.
He recommended doing a silk-cashmere blend.
Thoughts. Thanks.

I like how people say that pleated and/or cuffed dress pants are out.
If you have a corporate job, go walk around where the big wheels work......see what they wear......thats right, pleated and cuffed haha

Out meaning not fashionable. Most corporate big wigs don't care for fashionable; they're more likely to wear traditional looking suits andworkwear ie. pleats and cuffs, traditional fitting shirts as opposed to fitted.

You know what, you are correct once again. Not sure what I was thinking there. I've just always associated the crease with pleats that I completely forgotit is supposed to go all the way up to the waist.

youre correct. My point is, its not like you look dumb if you wear them, because they are very much "in" in corporate america.

Niidawg might be able to help you better with the material but I would go with wool, maybe 120 wool?
At least that is what I would choose for a first bespoke suit.

Epaulets are nothing new. Just like skinny ties, they've been around for a longggg time.
i still think epaulets are great. it can get overboard tho when you see em on shirts or w.e where they shouldn't be...

Super 120s is a great suggestion. Is this a suit you are trying to wear all year round? Would this be your first bespoke (custom) suit?
For a first suit - i think it makes sense to get a 4 season woolen suit. Silk/cashmere will come out buttery ... very nice ... however the problem with it isthat it wont be durable. It should be like a 4th or 5th suit to get ... not a work horse suit.
Outside of Super 120s wool, i'd also recommend silk/wool blend or a wool/mohair blend.

Wore one of the v-neck sweaters I got at BR a couple of days ago. Even though it was hand washed, it seems to have shrunk a bit.
