I saw this today and found it completely ridiculous.

What kind of details do you like to get on your custom suits? Anything very unusual?

Are there other bells & whistles that you've seen and found cool or silly?

I'm pretty conservative... the biggest decision for me whether or not to get a ticket pocket.

It's a blurb about some NY tailor (Mohan Tailors) who came up with the "iPad suit"

I think Vox's swiss army suit has some nice touches and is done very tastefully.

I like a pocket for a book in the jacket like the pocket for the ipad, but an ipad is a bit much.

I have a pocket inside my pocket on my trousers from Ambrosi. I asked to have that put in for my phone. As I usually carry my phone in my left trouser pocket, I find it useful to have that pocket-in-a-pocket as a way of separating my phone from anything else in my pocket, and providing a little protection for the phone (I don't use covers).
