Thanks bro, I like yours too.  Glad there's still some "classic" in "Classic Menswear".  I also  really think there's a potentially lucrative USP for Tiberias in having a fat supply of silk grosgrain and telling everyone about it!

I hope it's not too late to make an entry. If not my idea would be a sport suit, the idea being borrowed from Sleevehead:

So what is a sports suit? The central idea behind the sports suit is the idea of “composito” (or composite). The idea is to “compose” a look by mixing and matching the sports suit's different components with other pieces in your wardrobe. Carefully of course, rather than indiscriminately. Growing up in southern Italy, Enzo remembers in particular a man in his town who did the sports suit very well.





Critically, the most important ingredient of the sports suit is the cloth and its pattern. The sports suit is executed as a three-piece suit and demands a cloth with a tolerant, versatile pattern which can live within an ensemble or independently. Practically, this excludes stripes. But what's left includes a broad range of patterns falling in between a glenplaid and a plain windowpane, as well as flecked, textured patterns such as a Donegal tweed.

Given the right pattern, there are at least 6 different ways to wear the sports suit. They are:
Full suit (matching jacket, vest, trousers)
Matching jacket and vest plus odd trousers
Matching jacket and trousers
Matching vest and trousers plus odd jacket
Trousers only plus odd jacket
Vest only plus odd jacket and trousers
The sports suit is meant to be an everyday suit but certainly not meant to be worn mindlessly or without effort. This bit of effort is very much aligned with a central idea in my planned book – the wardrobe as a cognitive and imaginative exercise. Not simply an exercise in self-absorption, but a genuine appreciation and respect for things in themselves – the autonomy of cloth, colors, and shape - and an ability to let their independence still somehow express the individual wearer of the cloth.

My ideal fabric would vary. Perhaps something similar to that pictured above or as follows:

Design a suit, make a post maybe tell us a little about what it's for, where you are from, the weather etc.

 

My ideal suit would be one I could wear to work. It would be a navy suit with pinstripes. (The fabric by USCTrojans31 post #70 would be ideal).

 

The suit construction would be a 3 piece suit.

 

The jacket would be 2 button with a low button stance. I would want structured roped shoulders, working button holes, twin vent, and peak lapels.

 

The pants would have side fasteners and buttons for suspenders. It would be a flat front.

 

Thank you for the entry

Def a great concept. I think it works especially well in fall, with donegal like you mentioned for those that stick to more solids and don't want to venture into windowpanes and checks. (I personally love glenchecks and windowpanes)

 

Great idea too for those still growing their wardrobe. Especially after having the staples, a navy and charcoal suit, and looking into their 3rd or 4th suit. it's so versatile it's easy to wear one of the combos you mentioned and be so different most people won't even know its from the one sport suit

Thanks for the feedback. The sport suit would be a way for me to grow a smaller suit wardrobe into something larger and more versatile. Ideally, I would have a few suits like this in my collection to make the most of what I have. And I love checks too!

Hi,

 

Just recently started looking at suits so I'm not really sure how to describe what I'm looking for (I've been googling half the terms here to make sure they are right...) At any rate, here I go:

 

 - chocolate brown, textured wool weave

 - single breasted, 2 button

 - double vent

 - slightly narrower, notched lapel

 - padded (but not quite British)

 - besom pockets w/ single welted breast

 - (I love interior pockets btw... I just don't know how well they work with dress jackets...)

 - functional cuff buttons (3 - contrasting/tiger's eye/patina)

 - slightly tapered waist

 - single pleated, cuffed pants

 - belted - no side tabs or belt-less

 - buttoned cloth band on waist as well as top/botton of the zipper

 

 

Not sure if that makes sense, I hope so, but please feel free to give me feedback! I move around a fair bit but mainly in cooler climates so a heavier fabric is ok. (I own a charcoal grey that I use for pretty much everything and just bought a light-grey pinstripe, so this would be the middle ground between the two...)

 

- Stephen

I only really like white for moderately roomy chinos. I had an amazing pair from Ralph Lauren, but some idiot spilled beer on them... what brand/ material are those pants?

Seriously? Those trousers look perfect! Forward pleats and the high rise make them look very elegant. And the legs are trim as well. They rumple because his hand is in his pocket and they are lightweight. I'd love to see a photo of your elegant tae kwon do pants.

Hi has the site offficially launched yet? because I can't get through to choosing a jacket style, after choosing the details for the pants it takes me directly to the fitting. In addition the images on the various options e.g. for pockets jetted, welted, flap, etc don't differ from one another.

 

cheers
