I think the three piece suit is a little much for daily wear if you wear a suit for business. For more formal occasions it would be good without the wide collared shirt, the collar sticking out is too much for me.

It's very old school, just not my style, but to each his own.

Modern suits have made a marked drift towards smaller, slimmer cuts.

For example, the finest suit in the world - IMHO - is the Kiton.

Very slim and almost minimalist.

The larger three piece is a nice change of pace.

I like it.

I like to think of myself as "well-rounded."

In fact, the reason I got so into tailored suits is because I am too round. Too fat!

Nothing off the rack will fit me.

Before you get your head right, you gotta get your threads right.

Coming from me, Mr. Costco.

all my suits are tailored to be as slim as possible
im 6'2" and 188 lbs, very slim

i love this suit but im so afraid that clients would look at me and think im some kind of a hipster

also, i probably would not wear the vest
