I am heading off to Hong Kong this Sunday 21 Sept. I have decided to have a suit made while I am there and would appreciate some comments on my choice of design and some feedback on where I should have it made.

Background: I am a 50 year old Male 5'10" 75kg, slim build. I am looking or a suit that will not date and will be worn only 6 or so times a year for social occasions, weddings etc (not business)

suit design (please comment or suggest changes)

Charcoal Grey classic design suit:
9-10oz 100% light weight wool Queensland climate

Jacket:
canvassed
2 button
single vent
notch lapel
lower flap horizontal pockets
or lower horizontal piped pockets (not decided please comment on pockets)

Trousers:
single pleat
1/8" slanting pockets
standard belt loops
no back pocket
no cuffs (unsure?)
please feel free to comment on any of the above information or suggest other considerations I have not included

Also does anyone have any suggestions on the best value for money Tailor in Hong Kong out of the following:

Mytailor

I have researched the web and have mixed comments on most.
