Just ordered my first three piece suit from Samuelsohn (first suit ever) through made-to-measure. So nervous about whether it will fit right...
I made the following decisions:
Jacket
-Jacket length is about 3-quarters of an inch or so higher than the standard (though I don't think it is unreasonably short)
-Single-breasted
-Fabric: 230g (7.5 oz) wool; 110s
-Undercollar: Suede
-Lining: Fully lined; darker than suit colour
-Lapel: Notch lapel (3 inches in width); button-hole
-Cuffs: Imitation surgeon cuffs with overlapping buttons (non-functional); 4-buttons; I was told that if you want overlapping buttons that functional cuffs would not be possible
-Vents: Double vent (same as side vents)
-Chest-pocket: Left (1)
-Pockets: Flap pockets (2); no angle
Waistcoat
-V-shape collar
-no lapels
-5 buttons
-4 welts/pockets (no flap pockets)
Does anyone know whether a felt or suede undercollar is preferred? What are the pros and cons of each?
