Thanks, what does half-canvass do for me please?Try to get a half-canvassed model (used to be called Signature Gold)
I really appreciate all your advice. So the sales people at the shops mentioned will know about canvassing and worsted wool?Full canvass and half canvass have to do with the internal construction of the suit (Half Canvas vs. Full Canvas Suit Construction Differences - https://askthegentleman.com/half-canvas-vs-full-canvas-suit/). Cheaper suits do not have canvassing and don’t fit as well. Although I have nice suits, I only have half-canvassed suits. The full-canvassed suits are much more expensive.
Suits with this construction also tend to have higher quality worsted wool material. I would opt for one of the higher end models from the budget stores (e.g., Joseph Banks, Men’s Wearhouse) over the cheaper Brooks Brothers models sold at their outlet stores, which are not high quality at all, IMO.
They absolutely should. I haven’t been to one in a few years, but when I used to visit the local Joseph Banks, the sales people knew this stuff.I really appreciate all your advice. So the sales people at the shops mentioned will know about canvassing and worsted wool?
Similar to me. The suit got a lot of use with three funerals last month.Lol, not me, I'm dressing for church 2 - 3 times a week and love it.
Looks like you have received some great advice since I replied. I would say that you are well on your way.Thanks. Honestly I have never been in a tailor that actually sells clothes, if I'm understanding you correctly. I guess I'm not in the right area, but I love the idea of that. How would I search for that, I'm in Virginia.

AmenIt’s sad that dressing well is apparently counterculture nowadays.
Look on Etsy for J. Press and Chipp.Amen
