Lets get some brand names going to see if we are really brand snobs
Itd be interesting to see how many people ACTUALLY wear a suit on a daily basis.

Myself - armani

A. Jacobs · 18 February 2007, 04:46 PM

I only wear a suit on special occasions. You know, like weddings, funerals, and all of the other uncomfortable gatherings

JJ Irani · 18 February 2007, 04:47 PM

Does birthday suit count?

mrbieler · 18 February 2007, 04:48 PM

Nope. I work in industrial sales. 5.11 pants, golf shirt, hard hat, and steel toed Red Wings.

astcell · 18 February 2007, 04:50 PM

For the first time in my life I will have to wear a suit every day. For a year. At least I am getting a clothing allowance for it.

This means I may need a tie too. The things I do for my country!

John Ireland · 18 February 2007, 05:40 PM

the Gap or Banana Republic...a couple of tailor-made sport coats or an old leather jacket...and this...

Gedanken · 18 February 2007, 06:22 PM

I'm in a suit all week except for casual Fridays (an evil foisted upon me by wicked colleagues). My wardrobe's a mix of Hugo Boss, some bespoke and a few Australian labels:

I'm not too fussed about the suit label itself, as long as the construction and material are good. After all, if you did want everybody to know what brand of suit you were wearing, you'd leave that temporary label sewn on the sleeve.

That said, I'll get down to getting Brionis one of these days - the boss man wears them and assures me that when I decide to get one, his guy will take good care of me.

slim · 18 February 2007, 06:33 PM

hey Gedaken, those are some real nice looking suits. Especially the first two, i like the whole package. Where can i get one like that at? You can Pm the brand!
I have a few hugo boss suits, nothing to flashy

Gedanken · 18 February 2007, 06:46 PM

Thanks, slim!

Hell, if I've got to drag my butt out of bed every morning, I may as well get a bit creative before I step out the door, just to make it worthwhile.

The first suit is a Hugo Boss and I had the second one made by a tailor in Singapore. The fabric is what's important here - the Boss is made of Super 100 wool and the tailor-made suit is Super 120.

Unfortuantely, my tailor made the second suit a little too well-fitting. Since having had the suit made, I've gone back to swimming and the gym, and it now fits too tightly around the shoulders. Ah well, it's an excuse to get a new suit!

Alex Stylianou · 18 February 2007, 06:57 PM

Suits Only On Special occasions . My school uniform is as uncomfortable as a suite though

ROLEX4EvEr · 18 February 2007, 07:19 PM

Only time I dont wear a suit is my day off, they arent brand names (mostly Italy made around $200 per suit) But my shirts and ties are brand names. But I love Gedanken suit combo's. Man thoses are some Sharp outfittes

ROLEX4EvEr · 18 February 2007, 07:21 PM

What watch is in the last pic?

Gedanken · 18 February 2007, 07:29 PM

Thanks, Freddy!

The watch in the last photo is a Tudor 79170 chrono:

Tombstone · 18 February 2007, 07:56 PM

All my suits are blue, Elbeco, Flying Cross, Safariland ect..

Uncle-AJ · 18 February 2007, 08:36 PM

Strangely enough I decided to wear a suit last night, when we went out with friends, it was a dark blue Armani. Another suit by Palzilari I wore when I visited Shane (Southern Jessie) in London.

fat-sam · 18 February 2007, 10:48 PM

i wear a horible uniform for work- but ove to wear a suit when we go out some place nice- i have at the moment one from Daks, one by Jil Sander but my favourite and cheapest is my marks and spencers suit, i had a nice hugo boss one but i gave it to our bar tender in cuba who was unfortunate enough to be the same size as me!

Dan Pierce · 19 February 2007, 12:16 AM

A swim suit works best w/ a GMT II.

nko51 · 19 February 2007, 01:20 AM

I do not wear suits, so I would have to say the only suit I wear is a dive suit.

Alcan · 19 February 2007, 01:45 AM

I often wear this suit. I'll sometimes accessorize with a jaunty splash of Freightliner rear axle gear lube, or if I'm feeling really risque I'll brighten up the look with Lexus transmission fluid. Nitrile gloves and a Snap-on 15mm wrench complete the ensemble.

Blue Bull · 19 February 2007, 03:20 AM

Never wear a suit,only on weddings,funerals,church attendance .At best a sport jacket,for more formal things.Not that I attend that many.I work long hours,so when I am free,I REALLY want to spend it at home.
To work,I wear blue jeans.I have the papers and the knowledge,about my subject,who do I want to impress ......??

Anyway,my real working clothes are theatre attire,I prefer a combination of light blue/dark blue.Blue suits me better ....

Clothes brand names are not really important to me.

High-Gear · 19 February 2007, 03:39 AM

I wear a suit every day. I have a couple Corneliani, and one Armani, but mostly $200-$300 Jones New York or Italian off makes like Firado. In a day when police detectives are moving toward polo shirts and 5.11 cargo pants, I try to keep a professional look. I investigate person crimes, mostly child victim sex crimes. I figure, if it was my kid who was perped on, I'd want a professional investigating it, not a meter reader.

astcell · 19 February 2007, 03:47 AM

Truly, the last time I wore a suit was in 2002. It is so rare for me that I took a picture.

I very rarely wear a suit as my job provides me with uniform (london underground ) even down to dr marten shoes, the suits i do have at the moment are m&s, so jeans and polo shirt compliment the sub at weekends.

Very nice suit, and I love the way that your watch is presented. Seems innocent to the unknowing, but we all know it was very planned

Y'all dress sharp... a Rolex has a way of stepping up even my jeans and t-shirt gear.

Like Andrew, I rarely wear a suit as well... but since I'm going to have to do it from time to time, I decided to pick up a couple of Zoot Suits from a local tailor here in SF...
