With the new year comes a new job I am very excited about. And, I must confess, I am equally excited (if not more so) because this career advance will offer me an opportunity to have a bespoke suit designed and made for me by none-other than Joseph Abboud!
So, in thinking about the styles, colors, and patterns of suits I already have I am leaning towards a traditional black pinstripe (which I don't currently have) and going with a double-breasted style. Regarding the pinstripe, I am definitely going to go with a more understated look with less width between the lines (no Chicago-gangster look for me).
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Is the double-breasted suit to dated, old-school, stodgy, etc.? Too limited in terms of situations/occasions during which you would wear a double-breasted suit?
Also, I would love to hear what might be the best choice (I know it YMMV) and maker (country of origin) of material.
