please roast my MTM suit plans
I want to get a suit from Suit Supply that I can wear for fun when I go out (with loafers/casual shirt), but that -- secondarily -- can also double as a suit for occasions that require formal wear (funerals/weddings, will happen very rarely), where I want to dress it up with oxfords/white shirt/tie.
I'd buy this berg&berg suit, but I can't mix/match sizes, so I'm going MTM with a very similar fabric. I'd also like it to look a touch more relaxed.
I have pretty wide shoulders (54 is sometimes tight), with a 6in drop to my waist.
My plan:
- Take unconstructed shoulders (to avoid a blocky/footballer look) and make sure they aren't too narrow
- Make the lapels as wide as possible (I just think that looks cool, does that work well with my body type?)
- I'll make sure they pay attention to the arm holes (make them relatively narrow) and don't go too narrow in the waist, for a relaxed fit
- Go for a relaxed, high-waist trouser with single pleats
- Should I consider patch pockets?
Does this plan make sense? Any other things I should pay attention to?
