Poll-How Many Suits Do You Own?

[jeskali]

How many and what is your favorite brand?

 

[StylenotFashion]

16-19 Suits / 3 Blazers / 6-8 Sport Coats
My favorite suit maker is St. Andrews

 

[amerikajinda]

About 15 suits -- my favorite brand (until I become wealthy) is Oxxford.

Six suits; Oxxford and Greenfield Gold Fleece are my favorites, though Samuelsohn makes some fine garments, too.

 

[NoVaguy]

too many, although a couple of them are cheap macy's ralph lauren green label suits or g. beene suits (or equivalent) which are just hanging around until they fall apart.

of the good stuff - one solid navy oxxford, one light gray striped pattern belvest, one grey flannel paul stuart (by sammy, i think), and two unaltered paul stuarts (by isaia). and one 100% linen j. crew suit for the summer time.

 

[JLibourel]

Seven suits, only two of which are better than middlin' fair--one Corneliani, one Chan. However, I hardly ever wear a suit.

I have 16 odd jackets, nine of which are from my friends in Kowloon. I do wear odd jackets (blazers, sport coats) almost every day. Hope to buy about three or four more jackets from Chan before retiring next year.

 

[Philadelph]

1 men's warehouse pierre cardin **** suit.

2; 3 button cotton grey pinstripe Jil Sander and a black (I know :/) Costume National suit. I really dig the Sander silhouette, though hard to get at my ideal pricepoint.

 

[topbroker]

18 suits, 13 sportcoats and blazers. Jos. A. Bank garments seem to fit me well with minimal alterations, as do (in a more Euro vein) Hugo Boss garments. I've got a double-breasted Burberry blazer that I adore and that fits me splendidly. But some of my favorite suits and sportcoats are no-names, too. I like high-end name stuff if I can get it second-hand and/or cheap; but there would be no earthly reason apart from self-satisfaction for me to invest above $1,000 on a suit to wear in Northeast Wisconsin, and it wouldn't satisfy me that much.

Why don't you make a poll?

 

[LesterSnodgrass]

I had about 15 until I became a SF member. I am down to six or seven, plus three sport coats. I was shamed into donating all macy's/syms bought suits that I purchased when first out of law school and making no cash.

My favorites are both vintage -- a Zegna and a heavy wool labeled simply "Nordstrom." Both had extensive tailoring to modernize the cuts.

Does anyone know whether Nordstrom ever had a house label? It is half-lined, but made from super heavy wool. Narrowish lapels and when I picked it up the pants had some pretty embarassing flare, but are flat fronted.

 

[James Bond]

5, I think...3 Corneliani, 1 Polo (by Corneliani), 1 RLBL.

 

[CharlestonBows]

15 suits, 4 blazers, 12 odd jackets.

Most of my suits are bespoke or demi-measure, although I have a few Armani, one Boss, one Corneliani. Of my jackets and blazers, a few are made, quite a few Polo, one Corneliani.

2; a Burberry MTM and a Billy Reid MTM. The Billy Reid is my favorite. I was lucky enough to actually get fitted by Billy himself and he is even surprised me with the lining as his own special touch. It turned out PERFECT and couldn't be happier.

 

[MilanoStyle]

About 10 suits and 5 Sportscoats. But I am looking to get rid of 4 suits.
My favorite suit maker would be Borrelli.
