The buttoning point and lapels on both are nice. A little trad but better than too thin!

Agreed on all counts. Maybe some emergency tailoring on the blue suit? Or you could just cuff the pants inward. The grey suit jacket looks too small. Maybe pair that with the blue blazer?

I reckon, if he wore a white, double cuff shirt with the navy SC--on the lowest cufflink button--there might be enough cuff to be passable. Pair it with the grey trousers. Add a plain, brown tie? Boom: magic!

This is a good comment.

Liam, I like the shoes, and I reckon that your suiting game is strong.
What I would suggest is making sure that you ensure lapels aren't pressed flat when they're dry-cleaned but 'rolled'. There's a good guide on here somewhere about lapel rolls.

I'm at a tradeshow starting thurs, and need at least two suits with me.

I PM'd Liam O and he said he is going to Orlando for a trade show and that the suits are heavy.

I did this once with heavy suits when I was in my mid 20's and almost died. I went into a major department store and they put me into an inexpensive cotton blend tan suit that saved my life. They tailored it over night. I wore it with a patterned green tie one day and a patterned navy tie the next. It looked good with both white and blue shirts and with brown shoes. LiamO, is there any chance you can go out tonight to a local Dept store and do the same thing? You will look and feel so much better not wearing heavy fall/winter clothing in the humidity capital of the USA (Orlando). Wearing heavy clothing in FL this time of year will really look odd.

That would be a great plan if I had any money to spare at the moment, which I dont :(

the suits will be worn at night, and the glen plaid one is actually reasonably lightweight (unlined, very fine wool).

During the day I'll be wearing chinos and an unlined cotton blazer (yes, the ugly one that doesnt fit, lol) with some variety of linen shirts.

Your idea is certainly better, but financing my fiancee's move to TN, my move to Iceland, paying for flights and saving money as I'll probabl not be permitted to work in Iceland, I have to be super stingy with my cash. Even a cheap cotton suit is a luxury I just can't afford atm.
