If there's no pants then it's not a suit.
And as Ich Dien says, a suit jacket should only be worn with the matching trousers. Sometimes you can break this rule without most people caring, such as a navy jacket doubling as a makeshift blazer, but certainly not with anything with pin-stripes.post #10281 of 223169/29/11 at 11:26ampost #10282 of 223169/29/11 at 7:10pmpost #10283 of 223169/29/11 at 7:11pmI would not wear a pinstripe jacket with anything but the matching pants.post #10284 of 223169/29/11 at 8:04pmpost #10285 of 223169/29/11 at 8:34pmpost #10286 of 223169/30/11 at 4:44ampost #10287 of 223169/30/11 at 10:12amI'm looking to buy a suit for mainly weddings/funerals as my current one fits horribly I've now found out after some research. I'm wondering what my luck or options would be at a mens warehouse type store with my size (which I'm not sure of). I'm about 5'11" 195 athletic build and I'd guess chest would be in the 40-42 range? Would I have a lot of options finding something off the rack or any suggestions of what to look for or feel, in the fit? Also wondering what type of quality I would want to get since this will probably only be worn 3-4 times a year. So it doesn't need to be an everyday suit in terms of durability, but I don't want it to look extremely cheap obviously.
I'm hoping to find something decent in the $300-500 range and then bring it to a tailor friend of mine to fit it better. I don't want a $1500 suit, (actually I do, I just can't afford to pay for one) but just something that looks nice and fits extremely well. Any advice for a fashion-impaired guy?
