Guys,

If you had to keep one suit (yes only one) in your closet, what would it be and why is it so special?

I have a BB Gold Fleece (Greenfield USA) in a lovely black/blue-gray birdseye that I would keep. It can be dressed up for almost all occasions or dressed down with a simple fine sweater. The fabric is heavier than most used nowadays and has a gorgeous hand. Construction is superb, the color scheme is very flexible, and, well, I just love it.

Although I wished I had a suit to which was attached some type of sentimental value. Unfortunately, if you asked which one suit I would keep, it would be a purely rational pick: a medium gray bespoke suit I had made from Hong Kong. It fits nicely and is extremely versatile. so sad.... haha.

PRL MTM 3b charcoal. Fits me perfectly. Also, I wear it more frequently than anything else in my closet.
