Such basics are a must-to-know these days. The 'full break' is a requirement for both ladies as well as gents trousers.
I am just hoping that all of you will try and get to the proper length, its just so nice.
For those needing a faster fix, see images below.

Sleeve Length-The sleeve length in the illustration looks spot on to me
No Break- poor form
Full Break- required
Regular Break- in the minimum this much IS required.
Pant bottoms should cover the shoe so that you socks do not show when you walk. The trousers should slant about 1/4" towards the read to touch the top of the sole.
If you don't cuff your pants have the tailor slant the bottoms so that the hem is lower at the back to the top of the shoe heel. Tailors call this a "fishtail".

Visit a good trouser company website like http://www.zanella.com/ and see what you like
AND finally:
Change your tailor if he doesn't listen.
