Here goes:

Single breasted three piece suit with single breasted waistcoat in a very light weight tweed.

Cloth would be a medium brown herringbone with merlot and gold overcheck.

Flap pockets slightly angled (no ticket pocket!)

Something like this but with the base replaced with medium brown, the white replaced with gold, the darker blue replaced with merlot

Notch lapels on the wider side at 3.75"

Contrast stitching in merlot on the boutonierre

Almost unstructured shoulder, but with one or maybe two ultrathin pads, and a natural, unbroken line from shoulder to upper arm

A bit of a fuller cut body but, to avoid a boxy appearance, combine with open quarters and the higher armholes and narrower sleeves associated with a slim cut suit

Classic length on the jacket hem, about 32"

Slightly higher button stance on this SB, with lowest button coming in at about 1.25-1.5" above waistband

Dark brown 100% buffalo horn buttons


Pants would be flat front, no cuff, with the slightest break at the hem, and hem would have a very subtle angle so that the heel hangs a fraction lower than the front. Side fasteners and buttons for braces. Like the jacket, pants would be a bit more full cut than the current fashion, only very slightly tapered, with an 8.5" leg opening.



Ultimately something approximating below but with the fabric specs mentioned above, the shoulders less structured, the jacket a bit less suppressed in the waist, and the pants a bit less tapered:

Occasion is for wearing the first day of class, winter quarter, to scare my students. Tweed is to college students in Northern California as garlic is to vampires.

1. The suit I'd get is inspired by Michael Caine's three-piece navy suit in Get Carter. Whilst Caine's suit is mohair, I'd rather go with a more basic navy serge. Here is how I'd describe the cut of the suit I want (not an exact copy):

Jacket:
- Natural shoulders with roped sleeve heads
- 1-button front, with the button placed down at the waist
- Suppressed waist
- Slanted pockets
- 12" double vents
- lapels 3.25" wide
- flared link-button cuffs (see image below)

Trousers:
- Single forward pleats
- Slanted pockets
- One rear pocket on the right
- Extended waistband with square end and hook and eye closure (no visible button)
- Side adjusters with a slide buckle

Waistcoat:
- 6 buttons with the bottom one not able to fasten
- Four welt pockets

Other details:
- dark brown horn buttons

I shouldn't have to say this, but I'd like a suit that fits properly. That means the jacket isn't a size too small and covers my behind, and the trousers sit at my waist and I can sit down in them without having to remove the items from my pockets.

And for the cuffs:



3. The suit would be for going to the theatre, concerts, opera, fancy dinners, weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc. I would also sometimes wear the jacket on it's own for less important occasions.

Have to admit this is the first time I've seen flared-linked cuff buttons definitely and interesting touch to add. 
For the pants style, how wide do you like your pant legs to be at the opening? Do you prefer a tapered style or more straight-legged. We will try our hardest to make sure whoever wins has the fit that they desire, but something "fitting" is all relative depending on each person's personal preference.
