[QUOTE="inactive, post: 2750555, member: 7488"] If you want something for infrequent wear, go to JC Penney and find their slim fit 100% wool suits. Something like [URL="http://www.jcpenney.com/stafford-executive-navy-super-100-wool-jacket-slim-fit/prod.jump?ppId=pp5005031215&catId=cat100250022&deptId=dept20000014&topDim=Fit&topDimvalue=slim&dimCombo=Fit%7CBrand%7C&dimComboVal=slim%7Cstafford%7C¤tDim=Brand¤tDimVal=stafford&_dyncharset=UTF-8&colorizedImg=DP0924201318254457C.tif"]this[/URL] and the matching slacks. Go for navy or grey that you can wear for nearly everything, not black or brown or khaki or olive. It's a fused (glued) jacket so it won't hold up as well as a more expensive suit, but for wear 1-2 times a year it's fine. The wool will look better than the polyester mixes from JCP, Kohls, etc which is the more important part. Then when you get it, go spend about 50-100 bucks having it tailored. Suit chest/waist, sleeve length, pant length and pant leg slimness, depending on what you need. You'll be in for around $300 bucks for something that looks good when you wear it (because its 100% wool and tailored to fit you). Some people would thumb their noses at an inexpensive suit, but mostly the money goes for durability/construction which is less important for your purposes. The tailoring is where to spend the money to get one that looks good. You WILL need to have it tailored. [/QUOTE]
