This is a foothreakâ„¢. My mind is basically made up. Feel free to try to talk me out of it, however, or just denounce and ridicule.
Going to do a "Pants Across the Sea" suit. Jacket made in Naples, pants and vest made in New York. Reason: I have five yards of this cloth and it would make a great three piece suit. But you can't count on Italians to know how to make vests and you certainly can't expect them to make vest-rise trousers.
I want the pants to be high enough to wear with a vest and not have the waistband show below the vest, but not as high as Savile Row firefighter gear. No fishmouth back. Straight waist with belt loops. Tabs in back, a la Flusser, to raise the fork of the suspenders for when they are worn, but that can be tucked in when not worn. Suspenders with vest, belt with no vest.
