Suit Addict

[CTLION]



YOu live in Florida and own that many suits? Good man. I sweat balls when I'm in a damn t shirt when I'm there

You get used to it. Once your body adjusts you are fine, that being said come summer I don't spend a ton of time outside in a suit. All of my suits are summer wool, my Canali suit is a wool, silk, linen blend.

As to the question of brand. I don't think brand is all that important. That being said I can afford the italian suits and to be quite frank they fit my frame much better than their American, Canadian and British counterparts. I gravitate to the suits that make me look my best.

It doesn't mean one is better than the other, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Unfortunately for me the suits that fits me like a glove are my Castangia suits, which also happen to be my most expensive.

I have never purchased a bespoke suit, partly out of fear. I already spend more on my suits than most and throwing another grand or two at one suit and then loving it more than the rest is, quite frankly dangerous.

My opinion may evolve, two years ago I had zero interest in Italian suits and now...well that is part of the problem.

And there we are...I have ordered made to measure based on fabrics I enjoy or ideas that I have in my head. For instance I am interested in having a navy and blue windowpane suit made with peak lapels. Zegna and Castangia are the front runners.
