Hi everyone,
I'm getting a suit made for my wedding and I'm having a hard time making some decisions. The suit won't be real bespoke, more like in between MTM and bespoke. I'll be going to the tailor tomorrow and I was hoping you'd be able to help with some of my analysis paralysis.
It will be a Sunday morning brunch wedding at a garden in Spring/Summer, kind of laid back/in the causal side. So it can be warm and humid, say at least ~80F. For more context, where I live it's usually hot for 6 to 9 months of the year.
- Fabric. I'm currently leaning towards a very light grey, with 270 gr. Tropical Wool fabric from Ariston, but have been also considering lighter blues like light slate/chambray. This will probably be my main suit since my city is fairly casual, so I've been going back and forth between this and a darker color. I just don't think I want navy for a spring morning garden wedding, since the colors and vibe will be happy/flowery. Am I making a mistake here?
- Lining. Since it will be hot, I was thinking maybe doing half insted of full lining. Any issues with this? There are a ton of styles/colors to choose from for the lining, any no-no I should keep in mind?
- Style. I'm interested in a three-piece but I'm worried about running too hot, what are people's thoughts on this? Also, I think I'm leaning towards single-breasted, peak lapel to make it just a little more interesting without going full DB, etc.
Anything else I should keep in mind or pay attention to? There is an overwhelming number of decisions to make like buttons, pockets, belt loops, etc. so I'm getting paranoid about getting it wrong.
Thanks so much!
