Been following the suiting thread for awhile now.

Time for me to commission my first bespoke

Just curious, why is it not advisable to commission a black suit? As i plan to only have one suit for now. Wouldn't black be a good colour to have as it will be able to go with most occassions (business or dinners or etc).

As for tailor, think i will pay Ah Loke a visit. Still very confused over cloth. Not too sure what to look out for.

Never thought of it that way.

Since this would be my first suit and would probably be the only one for now. and i would probably use it for most of my formal functions (work and dinners/events) what colour would you guys recommend me for my first suit.

and also... some people have recommended me to get a fused suit instead of a half or full canvased suit since i would not be wearing it often and fused suit would be much more affordable. what are you thoughts on this guys? i dont mind spending a lil more since i will only have one suit for now. and this suit will be my "universal" suit for all suit up events.

Thanks for all your help everyone. Think i have much more to read and research before paying Ah Loke a visit.

Just curious, everyone seems to be saying no to black. To cure my curiosity , may i ask why? I have always though most formal suits are black. but being a beginner in this area i know i might be wrong.

Point taken

Not very particular on the structure/construction. i intend to use the suit for a long time so i wont mind spending a lil more. but some have advised me to just get a fused suit since i wont be wearing it very often probably at most once a month.

Any e-bay store you guys would recommend to purchase fabric for suit?
