Recommendations for Bespoke Suit Material and Pattern

[LAPL]

I am going to buy 2-3 bespoke suits and I was wondering what recommendations you guys had for the material and patterns. I currently own a solid navy, charcoal grey, charcoal grey pinstripe and a black suit and I'm looking to add a few suits that stand out more and that are not nearly as conservative. I have typically been a fan of glen plaid suits, but I'm open to other pattern suggestions. I like pinstripes, but I kind of want something that stands out more. In addition, they will probably be 3 piece suits. If it matters, I have a very athletic build and prefer slim fitting suits. Thanks, any input would be greatly appreciated.

Navy with chalk stripes?

POW with bold overcheck. See mafoofan's recent thread

I am of the belief that you cannot have too many grey suits, given the differences in shade. Nailhead, Birdseye, sharkskin, lightweight and heavyweight flannel.

Thanks for the input guys.

AJ_Del what color POW would you recommend?

Does anybody have any other ideas or suggestions?

I think you got three good suggestions above that I might do this way:

one navy pin or chalkstripe
one gray in a cloth with more interest, like a nailhead or subtle herringbone for example.
then allow yourself the treat and get a gray POW or similar.
