Hello,
I'm a young CEO whose company has recently come into a fair amount of money, and now I'd like to start LOOKING like a CEO. I'm based in Daegu, South Korea (but I'm Italian-American, not Korean). Daegu is known in Korea as the fashion design capital of the country.
I'd like to pick up a few bespoke suits and custom shirts, but I need some resources as to how to spot quality. I'd like to know the terms (i.e. what's a surgeon's cuff? Or a ticket pocket?). I'd also like to know the options (pocket placement, venting, etc.) I know there is way too much information for someone to put it all in the thread here, but if someone could point me to a good book or website, I would very much appreciate it.
The way I know to locate a good bespoke tailor is to call the best hotel in the city and ask the concierge. If anyone knows a good tailor here, let me know. If I need to go to Seoul, I can do that too, but I'd prefer to find something good here in Daegu if possible.
I also own a designer-made casual jacket that I bought in Rome a few years ago, and I love it, but it is linen and I'd like to have it copied in a less wrinkle-prone material. Is that do-able?
Thanks for everyone's time in reading my request. Any advice you can share is appreciated.
