Both suede jackets look good.
I prefer the lighter color one.

The pics are actually both the same jacket in different outdoor and indoor light situation.

It will keep you warm in Winter.
I also have cotton lining in my suede jacket. Cotton lining is better than silk lining to keep warm.

Thank you for all the information in this thread. I've just gone to Wong MH to make my first shirt with him, Thomas Mason Tower in white. Looking forward to see the outcome. I was quoted 2 weeks work and HKD1090 inclusive of MOP buttons.

I also have a suit in the making for TPR. I dare not venture into suit CMT yet due to my lack of cantonese/mandarin and suiting knowledge. The process has been good so far and i've completed my second fitting.

I am currently looking for a tailor or baotou to make cotton trousers. I don't seem to have seen a recommendation on this thread yet for that so hoping to get some suggestions. Also if you have any suggestions on where to source Dugdale Bros cottons that would be much appreciated.

One of the widely acclaimed tailors for trousers is Wong SY. Plenty of coverage on him. The reference blog has his details

Wong MH sifu, he is famous in making shirts.
Wong SY sifu, he is famous in making trousers.
Look at their IG, they have some samples to show.
The blog tells their info.

For full canvas suits,
Wong SY sifu for Italian cutting.
Ng sifu for British cutting.
Both have been learning to use google translate.

For Dugdale Bros, the blog tells:
11A) suit fabric shops
11) Linking is the dealer in HK

Summer fabrics for suit: cool wool, mohair, fresco, cotton, linen.
I found various linen in HK fabric shops: British brands Irish linen, wool + linen + silk, Italian brands linen.

For my body, wool (plain color) for a suit, width of fabric is 150cm, I need 3.3yard/3.1m.
For linen / denim, I need extra 0.2yard due to shrink. sifu will steam the fabrics before they cut the fabric.
This is an example of Irish linen, width of fabric is 146cm, I need 4 yard suggested by my sifu for the style I requested.

Spence Bryson Irish Linen

For some linen / denim fabric, width could be 143cm, 144cm, 145cm. Therefore you need to ask your fabric shops for the width, and your sifu how many yard you will need, especially for linen / denim fabrics.
