Some questions after meeting Patrick Chu for the first time in SF.
1. Fabric: I chose a mid gray from Smith's Blue Riband 10/11 oz book. This was a close call over a similar color from the Smith's Excel 9 oz book, but I went for the more distinctive, drier finish of the Blue Riband. I run fairly warm, so will the tight weave and heavier weight of the Blue Riband be too warm for (nearly) year-round wear in the Bay Area?
2. Trousers: I initially chose flat fronts, but am thinking that a single forward pleat may be more appropriate for a more traditional and formal appearance.
Also, does anyone know Chan's defaults for trouser pockets? I am interested in (not sure of the terminology) a top pocket where the opening is in line with the outseam, like this:
3. Basted fitting: I am thinking strongly of requesting a first fitting, likely a basted fitting unless respondents think a forward fitting would be better. I am afraid that doing both would be difficult because that would mean waiting about a year to receive the finished garment.
Many thanks for any assistance.
