Proper Safe Custom Suit
In Spain right now and trying to get a custom made suit to fit my slightly odd proportions (skinny lower torso, broad shoulders & long arms). I'm relatively junior and starting in IB next summer and wanted to go for something safe. I have not seen much of people in the industry, so I don’t have any idea of what is traditional. I’ve seen some previous discussions about this, but wanted to get some thoughts specific to my situation from the experts.
Color wise, I'm thinking a dark blue/navy.
Inner fabric lining / pattern: I have no thoughts here; if anyone has any advice, would appreciate it. Current suit has vertical stripes on the lining.
Outer material: I can get pretty sweaty and so I want something that is durable but also breathable and orthodox. It seems like wool is the way to go, but any more specificity here?
Pattern: I just want a safe option, probably something solid.
Pockets and ticket pocket? Not really sure about getting a ticket pocket one. Should the side pockets have flaps or no?
Sleeve buttons and spacing: How far apart should buttons be on the sleeves?
How many buttons at the front? Feel like I’ve seen 2 mostly, but do let me know if I’m wrong.
I should go for notched lapels, not peaked right?
What should I do for shoulder padding? My shoulders are broad for context
I’m looking at half-canvassed to save a bit.
How many vents at the back?
For the trousers: I’m thinking hemmed and no pleats.
Thinking I'll go with belt loops and not side tabs, since this seems to be more orthodox.
Would appreciate any thoughts, especially on the materials front and buttons front.
We’re not gay, nobody gonna be checking out how many vents you got in the back lol
How many vents to you have at the back😏
Hey, also Spanish. Is this Suit Supply? What tier of bank are you interning at?
By the way, I have an identical body to what you described, and have found Sandro suits fit very well after the appropiate tailoring.
In any case, you are overthinking this; intuitively, try not to look overstylized. Keep it simple and formal (english/french style, grey/navy, notched lapels, modest pattern NO checks/grids).
