Two suits exactly the same.

[AE7]

I recently bought a very nice Baldessarini suit that fits me perfectly without any alterations, 180S whool, double-breasted at a very reasonable price. I dont wear it often since its DB, but I really like it. The seller has another two exactly the same on offer. Should I buy one more just to substitute the one I have in Xyears? Does it make sense, is it a common practice?
Cheers

2 of the same suits? Same color? No. Especially since you don't wear it often...

If you like it go for it.

It is a question of personal choice...

If you really like that particular silhouette , cut and style ,why not?

You might also want a different suit to bring some versatility to your wardrobe...

I have several other suits of different makes and designs, the one I am talking about is probably to wear once a week/two weeks

It's the same color right? What's the price?

 

[AE7]

350 Euro, about 450 bucks. The same everything.

I would not do it. Buy a nice pair of shoes with that $$. I know the temptation to have a suit for 10-15 yrs..but I wouldn't..

Ok, thanx for your opinion. It is just that I am building up my office wardrobe and now its financially and logistically easy to do, so that's why I was thinking to buy a reserve one...

You might be right.

Well, I have a lot of solid blue and solid gray suits, but each is a bit different. Fabric, cut, buttoning, out pockets, all a bit different.

I guess with RTW if you really love someting and the option for small changes doesn't exist, the temptation for duplication is reasonable.
