How often do you wear a suit vs. how many suits you own

[krish88]

I have 4, wear them at most once a week (typically once every 2 weeks)

 

[voxsartoria]

I also have several shoes that I wear several times a month, if that's helpful.

I am afraid I do not have any suits that I wear several times a month.

 

[ljrcustom]

Own 20+ suits but only wear 1-2 suits per month. I am currently in the process of trying to slim down what I own. I will soon be listing several of them on the B&S thread in the hopes of accomplishing this. -LR

+1. too embarrassed to reveal number.

i should say, though, that only a small subset of the suits receive heavy wear, and the vast majority get worn infrequently. i travel a fair amount, so i tend to pack staples that work with a variety of shirts and ties. this means that the plaids, exotic multistripes, and so on have ended up being indulgences that i really don't need... and use little. had i right-sized my wardrobe strictly based on what i need and really wear, i'd probably have no more than 5-6. i'm ashamed to admit that the number i own is a multiple of that.

I own 14 suits. 2 are summer suits that are too light for winter wear. I rotate through them very regularly, although not on a schedule.

This does not include my tuxedo or my scuba suit.

I don't actually own a scuba suit.

i have 2 scuba suits, a 3mm shorty for warm water and a 5/3mm for normal water
wear them about 5-10 times a year

this does not include my cat suit or spiderman suit

I wear suits four days a week and own six.

 

[kraftar]

I have 6 suits and wear suits somewhat infrequently. I probably average wearing a suit 1.5 times per week, but there are alot of weeks where I won't wear one at all and them some weeks where I'll wear a suit everyday.

I wear the same suit over and over again without cleaning it to preserve it's rawness for as long as possible.

in case you are also looking to break in the canvas, there were some advanced techniques discussed in the rubinacci thread that you may benefit from.

Thanks. I haven't read, but normally I just lay in a tub of water, then walk around until the suit dries. Lllllike a glove!

I wear suits mostly every business day.

 

[svelten]

Only wear a full suit ~10 times a year, only half of which are for business/work related functions or interviews while the other half are for social occasions. Hence I only own two suits (charcoal, light wool, 3 button, notch lapel, single vent & navy, heavier wool, 2 button, peak lapel, double vent) and both have kept their condition very well. To get more use out of them I wear them as separates occasionally.

 

[YoroiChuu]

I have one suit but I never wear it because it is ugly.

 

[MyOtherLife]

I have approx. 16 OTR suits (bought over 15 years). Half warm weather, half cold weather.
I wear a suit 2 days per week. 3-4 days per week I wear a sport jacket.
My dinner jacket gets only 1-2 wearings per year, on average.
