wondering where to get a custom brocade suit?

Or something slightly more understated, but with a retro vibe? Check out Duchess, Clothier of Portland. (Their seersucker beats J. Crew's any day.)

Portland, enough already. We can't take it anymore.

I stand corrected, b/t/w. GW's suit, custom made by Duchess, was in fact caramel cotton velvet.
