Single or Double Breasted Suits?
I too have a slight preference for SB suits. They outnumber DBs in my wardrobe by slightly more than 2:1. -

What are you wearing today??
Thanks! I lucked out with that suit (and its twin in a mid-gray herringbone with blue windowpane). They fit like that straight off the consignment store rack.- Orgetorix

Heavenly Madras Morning Suit Score
Formal and semi-formal trousers never take cuffs. But you may have known that already--I'm not sure what your smiley is intended to convey. :) -

Comments on Tweed Jacket?
Biggest problem I see is the balance. Long back, short front balance. It's causing the jacket to collapse into the small of your back above the vents and making the front quarters close and stand away from your body. It's probably also contributing to the ripples under the arms. -
SOLD--Alden shell loafers and tan calf split-toes, 12C
The LHS are sold. They're on the Van last, which is said to fit 1/4 to 1/2 size larger than regular US size, so I'm guessing they might not have worked for you anyway.- Orgetorix

Uber-trad Brooks Brothers navy sack 3-pc suit, 41S
Sorry to say the suit is sold now. That spot is just indicative of a poor pressing job last time the suit was pressed. As it's a 3-roll-2 jacket, there is a button behind the lapel on that spot. The presser just pressed it without taking the button into account, and left an imprint of the...- Orgetorix

Uber-trad Brooks Brothers navy sack 3-pc suit, 41S
This is probably the most perfect example of a Trad, Ivy-league, classic Brooks Brothers suit that I've ever seen. It's from Brooks' old 346 line, and it's a great example of Brooks' legendary quality--fully canvassed, with hand stitching in the collar and shoulders. The fabric is a beautiful...- Orgetorix

Show off the sports coats.
You mean the patch below the breast pocket? Looks like the fronts are fused--the cloth is glued to an inner facing material, rather than having a sewn-in canvas to give the suit body. This glue is now starting to deteriorate and it's causing that bubbling. -
Self-tailoring
You're taking a two-dimensional item (fabric) and making it fit a three-dimensional object (the body) with complex curves and significant differences in circumference from the shoulders to chest to waist to hips. And you're asking it to do so without causing any unsightly wrinkles, bulges... -

Tailoring a mediorce fitting suit VS. selling it to buy a new suit?
If the shoulders don't fit, pass or get rid of it without a second thought. If the chest doesn't fit, think about it for a few seconds, and then get rid of it. If shoulders and chest are OK but the waist needs work, begin to consider the quality of the suit and whether it's worth sinking...
