thoughts on this peak lapel suit?

I know peak lapels on a suit can be tough to get right… I like the fabric here a lot but I’m not so sure the peak lapels will work. Thoughts? https://www.toddsnyder.com/collections/todd-snyder-suiting/products/copy-of-italian-linen-sutton-suit-in-safari-tan

Tailoring w broad shoulders

Hi all - I need to pick up a suit and ideally a sport coat as well. In the pat I’ve struggled because I have very broad shoulders and back, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for who makes tailoring that is particularly forgiving in that area? I’m probably going to end up sizing up and taking to a tailor, but the better the fit is OTR the better I think it will go. My best bet so far is Ring Jacket, who seem to like an “extended shoulder” that is mostly a normal shoulder on me, but works great. Unfortunately the one jacket I have from them is preposterously slim in the body and can’t be loosened there. Thanks for the help!

e- waist athletic fit pants?

Hi all - looking for recs for a pant with a relaxed tapered or relaxed slightly tapered fit with an e waist made in denim/canvas/chino/twill - or anyways something with more heft than like a lulu performance fabric. Fit requirements are driven more by body shape than styling preference so can’t really compromise on that lol. Good example would be these PRL cargos that are sold out in my size. https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-clothing-pants/relaxed-fit-canvas-cargo-pant/624981.html Or something similar to these club Monaco pants but with more room in the top block https://www.mrporter.com/product/1647597307135226

thick but breathable sweaters

So thick sweaters I love the look of, and they look great on me. But I run very hot, so it’s rare I can actually wear one for an extended period unless it’s like under 50 and I’m outside. Does anyone have recs for thicker/textured sweaters that are still breathable? I’ve recently discovered that linen sweaters are a thing, but haven’t found many versions that are thicker rather than thin. Thanks!
