I have several. I have to escort wifey to business dinners once in a while, wear suits to funerals and weddings also.

Always preferred wearing a sports coat.

One, I wear it very sparingly, funerals.
Posted By: Mike_S Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
Yes, a couple. It seems they shrink over time.
Posted By: Rock Chuck Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
One. My marrying & burying suit. I wear it maybe once a year average.
Posted By: Teal Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
A couple.

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..............

Not anymore. Going to be cremated anyway.
Posted By: Kenlguy Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
I last wore one about twenty five years ago. It's still hanging in the back of the closet in a plastic bag.
Posted By: KC Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
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.

Nope

Don't do high falutin' affairs
Posted By: pullit Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
I have a few
Posted By: KFWA Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
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

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.

Posted By: stxhunter Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22

Posted By: kwg020 Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
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.

Nomex, I only wear it to forest fires.
Posted By: vbshootinrange Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
Bought one for my Daughter's wedding about 30 years ago.

Seem to have "out grown" it, and gave it to goodwill.

Do wear a sports coat on occasion.

Nice hats are my "thing" Fedora's or western.

I own one dark grey suit. And one blue blazer. I used to wear suits everyday but not anymore. Doesnt seem that people in my occupation dress up anymore . At least in Southwest Florida. I usually wear a sport or dress shirt with dress pants myself but lately other commercial RE brokers have been showing up in shorts and golf shirts to showings. I remember back in the early 2000s when some guys stopped wearing ties. It is hot as heck down here and showing warehouses ain't exactly working in an ac’d office.
Posted By: benchman Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
Nope. I used to have one with a crow on the sleeve...
Posted By: stxhunter Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
I work in shorts and flip-flops when I can.
Posted By: jackmountain Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
Never owned a suit. Had a sport jacket at some point a long time ago. Wore a rented tux for a few weddings.
Posted By: BigDave39355 Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
No suit.

Do have a sports coat, wore it to a couple funerals 10 years ago.

Same-o here.
Posted By: cra1948 Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
Since retiring I am down to about 5 sport coats/blazers and 2 suits. My default dress-up setting is a seasonally appropriate sport coat over jeans and Lucchese handsewns. Very rarely wear a suit anymore....bottom line is, whatever makes my wife happy, I wear. She is an absolutely beautiful woman who dresses really nice and turns heads wherever we go. She treats me like a king and I will do anything to make that girl happy...even if I'd rather stay home in shorts and a tee shirt.
Posted By: geedubya Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
yup!

Around here we call those Roodle-de-doo's.
I have one suit. Had to buy it for #1 son's wedding last year. One thing I learned, there are no bargains at Men's Wearhouse.
Posted By: reivertom Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
I have several, but they've all shrunk on the hangers.
Posted By: Valsdad Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
NO!

Sport jacket of the Western style and I doubt I can fit in it anymore as it's 30+ years old.

I do own and wear underwear nowadays though.

Any more questions? Pajamas? Gym shorts? Jock Strap? Spats? Cuff links? Wingtip Shoes? Ice Skates? Roller Skates? Fountain pen? Mechanical pencil? Pocket protector? Brace and bits? Hurricane lamp?

Let's get it all out there.
Posted By: FatCity67 Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
Only sports jackets now. Gave away 10 suits when I left my corporate climbing days in 1999.
Posted By: Steve Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
Not one that fits any more.
Posted By: Clarkm Re: Do you own a suit? - 06/27/22
I had the last old relative die during covid and there was no funeral.

Now I am the oldest in the whole clan.

I have a funeral suit, but I think the moths are eating it....and at my current weight, I can fit in it.


Maybe they can bury me in that suit, with moth holes.
