I plan to order the Indochino Light Gray Three Piece Suit as discussed here and have some questions on the customization and advanced options. I have read this and this. Please let me know if you know of any other guides.
Jacket
Jacket and vest lining: I like the idea of getting something unique like pink, but will I regret it? Regardless, should the jacket lining always match the vest lining?
Pick Stitching: I know this is typically preferable in a custom suit, but have heard mixed reviews on Indochino's pick stitching.
Slanted Pockets: I think my preference is to be conservative and not have slanted pockets.
No Pocket Flaps: Do most suits accomodate tucking flaps into the pocket anyway? All of mine do.
Natural Shoulders: I'm really not sure at all about this one.
Higher Arm Holes: The consensus seems to be to always choose higher arm holes. If it eases movement, then why wouldn't it be a default?
Functional Sleeve Buttonholes: I really want functional sleeve buttons. How big a risk is it for a first suit from Indochino? And, if I choose them, should I also choose unhemmed jacket sleeves, or does that not matter since the placement of the buttons will already have been made?
Vest
I don't get what they mean when they say Normal vs. Normal with Collar vs. Rounded. I do know that I don't want vest lapels.
Pants
I know your belt should not show when wearing a vest, but should you wear a belt at all? If not, should I get no belt loops and choose side tabs? I don't want to wear suspenders.
Thank you for your help.
