So I want to make a suit. My Pakistani tailors barely speak English, so I can't ask them for advice. But the shirts they've made for me are excellent so I'm willing to trust them to make a suit, besides their prices have been reasonable so far
However, I will need to tell them exactly what style and what fabric to use.
Now, where I live, for most of the year it is damn hot, with only 4 weeks or so in the year when it is cold enough to wear a standard off-the-rack wool suit comfortably.
So for most of the year I will need a light, breathable fabric.
For convenience and for health reasons, I would also prefer a machine washable suit.
So I'm thinking the best option for me is to get a linen suit. I believe linen suits are machine washable.
Does anyone on the forum have advice to give on this? What specifics should I give my tailor?
