Thank you, everyone, for the recommendations. I am gonna give it a shot this summer. That is the only way I find out if I will like it or not.

Cheers,

Thank you, everyone for the comments Despite many of your suggestions, I am not a fan of one-button jacket and certainly not ready to make one any time soon yet. I will perhaps give it a try on a 2 button jacket with 3 roll 2.5 lapel. I will need to discuss with my tailor whether he would do it or n...

Surely the point of a thee button roll is that it provides a further buttoning point of it is needed, and it therefore lends itself to heavier cloth. A linen or fresco in my view should never be more than two button, and, as has already been said, a single fastening makes a real point; waist, snap,...

My motive for this is that it gives the lapel a nice "roll", which imo makes the jacket look more elegant. Here are some examples: https://stulenstil.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/3_1.jpeg?w=558 http://i.imgur.com/BGA8y8v.png 3 buttons -which I think has the unfortunate effect of swaddling you in clot...

Hi all, This topic may have already been discussed on this forum in the past. But I am considering commissioning a 3 roll 2.5 jacket for my next bespoke project. Whilst I am very enthusiatic about it, I have 2 concerns: 1. I am 5ft 6 and concerned that this may make me look even shorter. 2. Makes th...

Thank you Glenroyal!

I ended up getting a blue/charcoal pick & pick from the Smith Botany book. Not quite the luxury thing I had in mind, but I love the color and who knows how long that collection will remain intact. Now we'll see if a better solution pops up its head before next winter... Do you remember the referenc...

I have a dinner suit in SW8810 as well. Brilliant fabric in terms of shade and how it drapes.

Hi arch,

I am thinking about getting a faux dinner suit. If i do it, should i not get the bottoms of the trousers cuffed?

Is it necessary to get a vest or cummerbund for SB? Is it acceptable to wear a linen shirt underneath?

i also wanted to know if its acceptable to have 1/4 lining on the jacket.

Thanks for the advices everyone. I still havent made up my mind but will get there one day lol... I think the suggestion of having an overcoat made MTM is a good idea. Should i find an ideal MTM service provider, ill take that option perhaps. Could you also recommend the styles of the dinner suit an...

Thank you all for the kind advices. The problem is that i would not get to use dinner suit very often as i live in a country where there are not many balls and other black tie events. The only times i get to wear a DJ are weddings. Im assuming i will attend about 15 weddings in the next 10 yrs and 5...

Firtst, to explain my wardrobe, i have 2 rtw suits and 3 bespoke suits which are made for summer and 3 seasons. Apart from the...
