getting a suit done

This is approximate - you can always change your mind on the first fitting anyway.
Vents:
These are very important. The classic length of a vent is normally 5 inches, but anything up to 12 inches is acceptable. Also where you want your vents is equally important. A centre vent is just as good as side vents, it all depends on your personal taste.
Pockets:
On a jacket these can be straight, or point up or down at 45 degree angles. Most "mod suits" have ticket pockets and always on the right hand side.
Bottom of the jacket:
This can either be rounded or at right angles. Both look good, but right angles generally look better on a double breasted suit.
Style of the lapel:
Again, very important. most mods go for a slim lapel. Lapels normally finish at the point between your nipples. Although if you go for a 4 button suit the lapel may well be smaller.
Stitching:
On your suit, this can have the effect of making it look totally different. A hand stitched suit always looks that bit better, it looks like a lot more effort has been made in it's creation.
Lining and material:
These are always a personal thing, but most mods have at least one mohair suit in their wardrobe.
Cuffs:
For your suit, you have a choice of either butterfly, plain or double cuff. The butterfly cuff probably being the most elaborate, but with the plain cuff you can always ask for it to be made so it does actually "undo".
Buttons:
On a suit, buttons can be covered and the number on a suit varies with the style of suit. Most single breasted suits have a three button opening, whereas most double breasted suits willl be four button opening.
Half belt:
An optional extra with a suit. You can have it plain o

r with two buttons at either end.
