I wouldn't be surprised. Hotels have the habit of dressing their bellhops in interesting fashions, I wouldn't put it past them to make someone wear a black 3 piece suit.

"manual made" aka made to measure might be more than you want to spend. I'd say start looking at Neiman Marcus Last Call or Off Fifth, but I've never seen a three piece suit there. You'll want a good quality, fully canvassed suit if you're going to be wearing it every single day and only have one suit...

what you want is a 3 piece black work suit. you can get this at "target" or "kohls" and similar stores.
they are called suit separates. you can pick each item in the size that fits. this helps to keep the alteration costs down.

Yes, I'm sure that will be in the running for his hotel uniform.

You do realize he doesn't live in the US, right?
