Men's suits - advice sought

I'm looking to update my wardrobe in terms of suits. For all purposes, let's say I don't have any suits at all and need to get two new suits.

The limited research I've done suggests that your primary suit be Navy and after that gray. Wool is the fabric of choice.

There are more bits of advice about cut depending on your build. I'm 6-0 and 210. Could stand to lose 25-30 pounds, but let's say for the time being I won't. If I do I'm sure I could have the suit taken in to compensate for 25 lbs.

My tastes run conservative and or "classic" which I interpret to mean not going out of style in a few years (kind of like my other suit) or looking too much like a zoot suit.

Just wondering if anyone with a great fashion sense cares to put their 2 cents in. links to pictures would also be helpful.

One website (http://www.modernizetailors.blogspot.com/) I visited had this to say:
  • If you feel good, you look good.
  • You shouldn't feel good if you wear a blue blazer with black pants.
I'd love to have a suit made by them, but that may wait until I am much more wealthy. Like wealthy enough to afford a trip to vancouver and a two week stay while they tweak my suit.
