I went in an got fitted today for their MTM program. I've chosen a VBC S120 Pure Wool wool. The product code is 840.601/5730 (Suit Supply shows 270 grams/m2 whereas another distributer shows 240 grams/m2). I selected this fabric over their S110's (10.712/41 and 886.601/5730) due to a price difference of USD$200, $648 vs $848.

I am also opting for a full floating canvas. The sales associate defaulted to 2-ply. But given the option of a 2-ply vs 4-ply, what does it mean? I'm unable to find any details online of what the different layers are and which ones go missing.

While at the store, I liked how a VBC S150 with a full canvas 4-ply draped. I'm leaning towards a 4-ply for my construction too but not sure how it pairs with a VBC S120. They didn't have one available in store for me to examine.

I also welcome feedback regarding my choice of fabric. If it helps, I am located in the SF Peninsula where a heavier coat with insulation is nice but I also sweat in direct sunlight at about 80 degrees F.

Thanks in advance Styleforum!
