First tailored suit - Vietnam/Hoi An
I'm going to Hoi An in a couple of weeks and planning to get my first tailored suit (going to try Mr. Xe, but I'm checking recommendations for other places already).
I'm mainly tempted to get linen (I accept the responsibility of ironing it, and I think I can tough it out colder weather while wearing it), and I was thinking of going for a navy formal one and a lighter (maybe tan?) one for more casual/business casual occasions. I'm relatively slim but putting on some arm and leg muscle (38S chest, W30L30 legs) so I'm also putting some thought into what I want to do with the frame.
Are there any other big aspects I'm forgetting to decide on, and is there anything I should keep in mind if I'm going to a Hoi An tailor? I don't have many occasions to wear suits so I'm happier to splurge a bit here if I likely won't buy another suit for a long time. I've read a few articles and a previous thread here on first MTM suits in general, but I'm aware it's a clothing choice with a lot to think about.
