Do you have the adjective order rules?

 

[en_buff]

I do ...

Determiner (articles and other limiters: the book, your car)
Observation or opinion (a genuine fraud, an interesting book, an expensive watch)
Size and Shape (tiny, fat, square)
Age (young, old, new)
Color (blue, sea-green)
Origin (American, Chinese)
Material (describing what something is made of: silk, copper, wooden)
Qualifier (final adjective, often an integral part of the noun: vacation resort, wedding dress, race car)

But I don't know what category "customizable" falls into.

What is a customisable suit?

 

[en_buff]

a suit that can be customized

 

[emsr2d2]

A suit that can be customized.

So you mean a suit which you could, for instance, sew sequins onto?

 

[bhaisahab]

Isn't a customisable suit one that can be turned inside out to be a different colour?

If that's the case, surely it should be "A customisable men's suit".

 

[en_buff]

a suit that can be customized

Not necessarily, but that's not the point.

 

[en_buff]

If that's the case, surely it should be "A customisable men's suit".

Where does the color attribute come into this, after "men's"?

"A customizable men's black suit"?

 

[emsr2d2]

Where does the color attribute come into this, after "men's"?

"A customizable men's black suit"?

My personal feeling (still without really knowing what "customisable" means here") is that it sounds best as:

A customisable men's black suit.

There are obvious problems with "black men's suit". I did toy with "A men's customisable black suit" and I still quite like that.

I think the problem here is; without knowing exactly what "customisable" is supposed to mean, it's hard the place it in an order of adjectives.
