    Cool Help decide my next suits

    I've just had my second bespoke suit finished - a 3-piece navy with a wide-spaced white double pinstripe. I'll post pictures when I get a chance to take some. The other suit I had made ~6 months ago is a charcoal with a grey chalkstripe that there are pictures of floating around the forum (or in my profile). The question is, what should be next?

    I've got a few ideas of suits I'd like:
    • A classic DB in plain charcoal. This was George, my tailor's, suggestion and one I'm very tempted with.
    • A 3-piece in plain charcoal with a peak lapel. I love the style of a peak lapel on an SB, and having the waistcoat adds an extra dimension and some versatility (3-piece for winter and 2-piece for summer).
    • A one-button SB in a light grey flannel. I saw this on styleforum and loved it, so was thinking of something similar, perhaps with a peak lapel:

    Do these seem like good ideas to create a decent wardrobe? Are there any that stand out as things I should or shouldn't have? Is there something I'm missing (NB: I'm not a fan of plain navy, so wasn't intending on going for that)? I'm tempted to get all three over time, though this may need to be some time for monetary reasons.

    As always, all advice appreciate!

    I like the idea of the DB. Break the rules and have slanted pockets and no cuffs. A canary coloured satin lining would look good in this as well.

    I like your 2" turn ups by the way.
