Welcome to the world of marketing ****** clothes which always look better in photos while the qualities of nice things can't be captured in a photo, they have to be handled.

snowman, i don't click any of your links bc I don't feel like highlight+copy+paste do you know how to use the internet?

the only real valid concern with black as a suit color choice is that it leaves a lot of the construction/quality of the garment bare. if it fits very well and has a good cut & fabric it isn't a problem IMO. any falling short of these elements moves you to used car salesman status.
