I have to bid on this suit I want that has 1 hour left.

I want a very cheap suit that I can wear for everyday things.

They have a version that is 100% wool and a cheaper version that it poly/rayon mix.

I still want a suit that looks nice however. I have a wool suit but have no experience with poly/rayon.

Does a poly/rayon suit look really cheap or can untrained eyes not tell that difference?


Thanks!

poly/rayon mix is really good. I would say better than wool.

I highly recommend them and you can't never go wrong with that.

And no one will notice until you tell them.

And I heard they also do waterproof? how nice!
