Greetings, I have quite some experience with made-to-measure tailoring, but even these have derided from Suitsupply, thus far.

I wear knee-high socks and my trousers are not that slim - a gradual taper to a leg opening of 20 cm. This could be considered a 'wide' opening for a 178 cm tall...- Jazzthief

What is the best length of lining for formal pressed trousers to be worn with a suit? To my knowledge, any kind of lining in trousers is a somewhat recent addition and historically trousers were unlined. Nowadays half-lined is the standard.

I am somewhat confused about the different types of wool that are used for clothing and knitwear. I understand that cashmere and merino wool come from specific breeds of sheep, but what is the difference between regular wool and lambswool? They both come from sheep, no? Also, would rabbit fur...- Jazzthief
