Someone I recall went to the fabric store and bought a hand tool that does this very thing. I was considering doing it to my jacket or my next 2pc.

I had some custom leather upholstery work done a few years ago and they perforated the leather to match the seats. I think most shops have a machine specifically for perforating so that the holes are uniformly spaced and the same size, but not sure how well it would work on a suit because it would have to be doubled up. Maybe call around some custom upholstery shops, they would probably have a really good idea what would work well
