while in HK I had a suit made by Raja- I did not know of this forum then otherwise would have used Chan. I need another suit and I must say the fit of the Raja suit is good (I had a few fittings). I got a pretty standard suit- 2 button- did not ask for full canvas- didn't know about that then. What should I ask for this time? any advice GREATLY appreciated.

You could tell the full canvas and half canvas by the hand feeling on the front edge from the 1st to the bottom, for the half canvas, you will feel it becomes thinner from the position around the pocket, it is my opinion
