I am wanting to start to wear suits on occasion to work yet am wondering how expensive suits hold up in day to day wear. I want to start building up my wardrobe and implement some nice suits (Oxxford and possibly other expensive brands off of ebay and/or consignment shops) and don't want to have them ruined in a relatively short time period. I guess the nuts and bolts of what I'm asking is if the more expensive wools are less durable being a finer, softer material than your average $400 - $800 suit.
I am also sure this question will arise: "So what is it that you do for employment?"
I am in the service industry, I work in a casino style job where we wear mostly slacks and button downs. I handle chips and work on the tables though I'm not a dealer and too complicated to explain my job in detail. I won't be sitting behind a desk or greeting patrons so I imagine the suits will be getting somewhat abused mainly with the elbows and sleeves on the "felt" along with constant motions of moving the upper torso.
Any thoughts and or theories will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
*EDITED*
If you believe nice suits are too luxurious for this type of work then what brands and line of suits would you wear for this style of occupation?
