New York Bespoke Suit - Advice for first time buyer

[TAntonio]

I'm looking to get a suit to use as the new core of my office wardrobe and am considering bespoke options in NYC around $2000+/-. From reading old topics Franco Ercole seems like the tailor I'll be going with, but I'm open to suggestions still.

As for the suit, I'll be going with a solid navy blue, two buttons and two vents, with probably a ticket pocket for a tiny bit of flair. As for the cut, while I still don't have clear pictures in my head of British vs. Italian suits, I feel I like the less structured and more natural look of Italian suits. Not sure if italian is a good choice for an office suit though. While my workplace (bank) isn't overly conservative, I still haven't seen many suits that I'd describe as Italian there. Lastly, any special advice for my body type? I have fairly broad shoulders and chest and athletic legs, sandwiching a waist skinny enough that I get made fun of for it.

Any input is welcomed, thanks.

Use Ercole, you won't find anyone else that actually makes the suit on the premises for that money. Everything else would be MTM and more risky than Ercole.
