Hello All,
As the title says, I am looking to choose a pin stripe cloth for MTM in Spring.
I think pin stripe is a difficult look to wear well, as personally I prefer a very subtle pin stripe, so perhaps 10mm to 13mm apart and a very fine stripe.
However I am not sure if I would suit this, this is just an observation from seeing suits on people.
I am 5'10, 38" chest and weigh 150 pounds, so a slim frame which I think would work better with a more narrow pin stripe.
How do you guys go about choosing cloth for MTM and get a good sense of what the finished article looks like? The tailor I will use only really keeps finished goods until they are picked up.
I am looking for a good mid grey, and also a navy pin stripe, something very classic and elegant
Thanks
