I must beef up on my Nihongo.
Found this japanese website that has a break down of different styles and cuts for jacket's lapels, pockets vents and more. Check it out.

Interesting tidbit, I haven't seen one in a long time... the pick of the vent that crosses over, this vent is called a hook vent.

It's a tailor's site.

They've moved to
http://www.f-hoshino.com/index.html
though, and they make ladies suits as well as mens.
The prices are reasonable by Japanese standards, but probably outrageous by American standards.

They also carry a reasonable variety of accessories for men's formal wear.
