It's a good question because if you want to buy a suit and make a good choice you need to be wearing a dress shirt and socks and dress shoes when you try it on. Make sure there are good mirrors (3 way mirrors are the best).

Check whether the pants sit well at the waist and if the leg length is right for you.

A notch lapel is the type you find on most business suits and it's a good and safe choice if you aren't looking for something alternative.

A peak label is more traditional and old school and it is making a big of a fashion comeback.

The three buttoned single breasted suit is actually a very popular choice with young men these days. Two-button suits used to be seen as a very conservative choice but they've become a hit lately with designers who are streamlining the style for the runways. One button suits are not a popular choice but it's really a matter of personal taste.

Ok so here are 2 basic principles to follow when you try on a suit jacket;

1; It shouldn't be so tight when you do it up that it strains across the buttons

2; It shouldn't be too loose - not more than a fists worth between the buttons and your chest.

Obviously I haven't seen your specific suit so I can only answer with general guidelines but your shoulder pads shouldn't come out any wider than your shoulders.

If you stand sideways against a wall, the shoulder pad shouldn't touch the wall before your arm does.

I think you should go to a good department store for your first shopping outing and you should go just to window shop and not feel pressured into buying.

The advantage of department stores is that they stock a wide range of brands and you can just walk around and get a feel of the department and see what styles catch your eye.

Use the assistants to ask questions about prices and you can be very specific ie if you know you like a certain type of double breasted suit, ask them to see a range of prices in that style.

Proper rain gear is very waterproof and made from breathable materials, allowing you to stay dry but also not need to sweat too much while wearing the coat. Real rain gear is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions whereas raincoats that are sold in high street stores are designed to protect against light rain showers but are more focused on fashion.

Here is my advice; go with lighter fabrics as they help to make you appear more slender. Avoid heavy fabrics that will bulk him out even more. Also go for dark colors which really are more slimming.

Pick a monochromatic outfit as this will slim him down by drawing attention away from the waist area. Navy and black are the best colors for suits.

I wouldsuggest that you look for a suit made from a heavier fabric. The fabric willhelp add some weight and proportion to your frame. Lighter fabrics are likelyto make you look frail. Also make sure that the pants have a longer rise, iethe area from the crotch to the top of the pants should be long to helpminimize the appearance of long legs.

Hi, if you check your local outdoor shop you will find self-adhesive gore-tex patches for shell garments - you might even get the right colour. As they are made for outer shell garments they stick well and are not affected by rain etc.
