Hey guys,

I need some help. I'm planning to have my tailor build a PC jacket and the modern vest (not low cut) for me, he is excellent at copying pictures and taking advice from the customer about how they want their clothes constructed. I rented the set for my sister's wedding and didn't like the fit later in pictures... now I have the opportunity to have one made and fitted by a local tailor with full input to the construction. I want to make the most of the opportunity because their work on normal suits is impeccable.

I plan to go with Black
Which wool fabrics should I be looking at? (right now I have a sample of a super 120s, 12 oz. merino)
does anyone have a good link for seeing the different shapes the tails can be cut in?
Good source for buttons?
Construction techniques that I should be sure he is using?
ect...
