When you say formal wear, do you mean a black tie event or just a plain suit that can also be used for work?Asking because I note the fact you stated that you want the guy to '
dress to kill and make an impression for employers and peers'.
If you could clarify this point would be great.
Hmm. The point is, he needs to be presentable and good looking la. Looks smart

For black-tie (men in black) (Solid color)
1. He'll need: A good crisp dress shirt (white), one with classic narrow hard collar (not button down) or with double cuff. A Solid dark suit or tux. A dark dress leather shoes (Oxford, Brogue) with dark dress socks. Belt (same color as shoes)/Suspenders (depend on body built). Dark conservative tie.
2. Depend on type of fabric. Ranging from 900 and up. Metarial: Wool, Silk, Linen, Cotton, Synthetic etc. I would suggest a wool for the first suit (less wrinkle, last longer than linen) If you live in hot climate choose a lighter fabric. Use summer weight fabric that has looser woven yarn.
3. 8-10 weeks, and 80 hours of tailoring.
4. Tailor, ask local. Expect 4 appointments. Expect 15-40 measurements & photograph
Semi-Formal (Pattern, color)
1. He'll need: A good dress shirt, (not button down) or with double cuff. Suit jacket (match trouser, same fabric). A Trouser (match jacket, same fabric). A dark dress leather shoes (Oxford, Brogue). Belt (same color as shoes)/Suspenders (depend on body built). Conservative tie.
There are a lot of foreign words up there but thanks alot
I guess there isn't much I can do and just hope for the best for the first suit?
Oh yea. Honestly, giving me so much choices for the materials is quite a headache
really no idea of what are the pros and cons. Do enlighten me. Thanks!
In short, I just ask the tailor for pure wool as material? and slim cutting?
