[quote=FlyerInHi]I agree with scaredy about the brands, Ben Sherman and Brooks bros are good bets.

Fit is key, brand is meaningless. A suit from Zara that fits well would work, if you know a seamstress that can adjust.

For So Cal. material is not that important. Just choose a light fabric.

For an idea on fit, just look at the TV new anchors. Shirt sleeves should show a little so jacket sleeves should be shorter. Over long jackets and pants make you look like a penguin.

The slim fit is in.[/quote]

a bigger baggier suit will make you look old. which is not necessarily bad if you’re old. i got this awesome brooks bros suit, fully canvassed (discussed on askandy) and just th e softest loro piana ialian wool imaginable, probably a 3k suit, for 125 on ebay, but it was older, though in mint condiiotn, and very not slim.

still, i like it. i am envelopped ina sea of wool.

perhaps this will come back in style before i die…
