As much as I'm vastly entertained by the recent tournament, back to the clothes.
I got an appointment with Chan mid-March. I'm looking at getting a SB Peak Lapel Suit. I don't want it styled as a traditional business suit as I have enough of those. However, I'm thinking of getting the suit in a basic navy pinstripe. What are people thoughts on SB Peak Lapel Suits in terms of Lapel Width, Gorge Height, and #Buttons.
I was thinking SB Peak Lapel, normal gorge height, 3 button-2 roll. Should the gorge height be adjusted and should I rethink the button-roll? And in terms of width, what is considered "normal" for a SB Peak Lapel? I prefer the lapel to sit a bit higher on my chest, within an acceptable range (i.e. not going too close to my shoulder line), how would I achieve this effect? I'm thinking of getting a vest as well, so I'm guessing a low gorge and will be necessary for the whole look to be right?
Also, in terms of fabric, this being my first suit, I want it under a G, any suggestions for a 120s? I don't like flannel material, prefer something year round weight for California weather. Thanks guys.
Edit: added thing about vest.
