Nice fit and look, would be better with a little belly to the lapel though.

You can alternate formality and austere lines with more relaxed classic pockets.

Thanks for the feedback.

No hacking pockets and no ticket pocket.
Single breasted vest.

Always go for something conservative when you go bespoke...

Bespoke is expensive and if you're not Lapo Elkham, with unlimited funds , refrain yourself from uber trendy suit.

You can always jazz it up with a great tie or shirt..

Funnily enough I have this in mind for my length of Minnis Rangoon dark blue pindot - but perhaps with a db waistcoat.

The slim peak is pretty neat.

So is Mrs Peel.
