Yes, a couple. It seems they shrink over time.

My Birthday suit…..
Bought a nice sport coat when I embarked on a quest for a new woman nine years ago. Have worn it maybe ten times at most. Makes the most sense for people like me. I expect to be buried in it someday.

As of 3 weeks ago............yes.
Older son got married. Figured it was the right get-up. I still caught flack from the ladies at JC Penney when they asked me if I needed shoes. I said, "No. I have cowboy boots". They gave me hairy eyeballs. I said, "They're NICE cowboy boots". Women..............

I last wore one about twenty five years ago. It's still hanging in the back of the closet in a plastic bag.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I prefer a sport coat but they have all gotten too small. However, I do own a suit. So, I just purchased a new one because my wife requested that I wear one for a special occasion. I can't remember what the occasion was.
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

don't get to wear them very often - have a good second hand store down the road, wife and I go there to get stuff occasionally, they usually have mens suits. I am a bit of a label snob so I check them out
Over time I have collected a few Hart Schaeffner and Marx, Hugo Boss and Brooks Brothers. Haven't found an Armani at my local burg yet..but you never know.
Most of the time they aren't more than $20, I take them to the dry cleaner and then put them in the closet. I have maybe 7 or 8 now. I really like 3 piece suits but they are hard to find.
Bought a houndstooth suit in Bear Bryant colors for my daughters graduation from 'Bama. First suit I bought new in forever. Will probably wear it once....LOL

Don't do high falutin' affairs Went to a wedding Saturday evening, shorts and a nice shirt. Was slightly overdressed[nice shirt]. Walked up to the event with cold beverage in hand[like most everyone else attending]. Prior was 8 years ago for my sons wedding which I was best man. Jeans, cowboy boots, button down shirt.

I have owned 2 suits. One I grew out of and one I bought for my son's wedding 13 years ago. I will never own another one. What a waste of money.
