I have no disagreement with your desire to have a suit made. My point is that Prince Henry provides fabrics. They presumeably know more about it than you do, so why not get them there?
You're not going to save a significant amount of money sourcing cloth yourself, and if you make a mistake...
At Prince Henry's price point you may as well have them provide the cloth IMO. If you find anything at comparable prices yourself it will be from a no-name Chinese or Indian mill and you'll have no way to know if it's decent quality.
Most of what's on offer today are soft hats.
If you got a copy of an original from Patey, perhaps. They were riding helmets after all.
Unfortunately, a Patey will cost as much as a case of bike helmets. I believe they want $800 for one.
The weight appears light because these are half-width fabrics woven on small looms. For the real weight, double the stated number (unfortunately, the same is also true of the price per meter). In other words, the Hardy Harris tweeds are 15 ounces.

You'll be better off to contact Art Fawcett in Oregon. VS Custom Hats.
Since it's a software company, the liklihood is that no two people there have the same idea what 'business formal' means. You'll see everything from khakis to dinner jackets - I doubt that any of the engineers so much as own a suit.
Wear a dinner jacket. You'll look great and everyone else...
Here in California, cordovan season (also called rainy season by people who do not prioritize their shoes highly enough) will be starting in the next couple of weeks.
There is someone that buys the original Tabarome and re-bottles it in smaller containers so one doesn't have to spend $600 with Creed for a decade's supply. Of course, now that I've written that I don't recall the seller but I found him with Google originally.
I wear Penhaligon's Blenheim...
My list is for a major metro area. Lot of places a check is too informal then - you can always be a bit too dark when too light won't get you past the gatekeeper. I think of the glen check as a sixth suit for the city.
For a man who needs to wear suits but is working in a less formal place...
