Bespoke Suit Choices
I’m getting a bespoke suit soon but I can’t decide which style I want. I’m deciding between a black pinstripe 3 piece or a pinstripe 2 button. What do you guys think?

Is there a reason you want a bespoke suit? Other people in here know more than me and have had bespoke suits made but I think in general you’ll have a better experience buying off the rack and getting it adjusted unless:
A) you have extremely unusual measurements or
B) you’re a real nerd who wants very specific details or fabrics.
The reason I’m getting a bespoke suit is because I wear suits extremely often and I want it to fit me best. Getting an off the rack suit adjusted will get it as close to a bespoke but a bespoke will fit better. The design I want with the 3 piece black pinstripe is also quite difficult to find in my country so getting it custom-made would be cheaper than shipping one here.
Once I actually get the suit back I’ll send it here
this seems like you're leaning towards the 3-piece as well
Yea 😅 a bit
the actual fit of a suit has little correlation to the style for what its worth; if you like a three-piece then buy it
Regardless of the reason for a bespoke suit (your point makes sense), I'd just make sure that the tailor can match your expectation, especially on details. Maybe anthracite, also very dark, can be more versatile than black.
