Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of ordering a made to measure cream linen suit for summer/spring occasions. Is there a general consensus for the details in this kind of suit?
I was thinking for fabric a herringbone cream linen, less than 300gsm. For the design, around 4" peak lapels with a bit of belly (too rakish maybe?) with gorge maybe just below collar bone, patch pockets, double vent, natural shoulders. Also 3 roll 2 single breasted and maybe 3 button cuffs. For the trousers, side adjusters, pleats and cuffs. Anything I've missed?
Also one problem I'm slightly worried about is seeing the pocket sleeves in the trousers due to the transparency of cream linen in particularly bright environments. What's the best way to remedy this?
Thanks.
