With dual vents, you have the risk of sitting down and having the flap trapped up by the seat back, looks dorky and wrinkles. No vent looks sleek but is a bit restrictive.
Double breasted are very classy but buttoning them is a bit of an operation and they look dissolute when unbuttoned.
In a hot climate, a lighter wool blend is okay. The more wool, the nicer it drapes. I wore 100% wool in SoCal, but it wasn't humid.
On shirts. 100% cotton, pinpoint Oxford, medium starch (heavy on days you're really going into battle). But for traveling, a no-wrinkle shirt or two is a lifesaver.
Does anyone wear suspenders anymore? I liked them a lot. Or vests? I liked those too.
Yeah, I guess I used to dress like someone from the twenties, or maybe fifties. But the look is classic.

One piece of advice. Buy a traditional, businessman or lawyers' two-piece single-vent suit. Not a three-button short-lapel flap-ass hipster thing.
