I have to say I loathe the American Business or Lounge Suit - makes any man look like a tax collector or a con artist - and the one time I was forced into a corner and made to hire a Morning Suit I made sure to 'forget' the hat, and wore a raincoat over the whole mess as long as I could get away with it! I knew that marriage would never last anyway...
My second wife insisted I buy a suit for a wedding to which we were invited and she wore me down to the point where I gave in... we went to somewhere called Next, in the Kings Road. I went to a rack that had my size and took one to the till. 'But... aren't you going to...?' 'No', I replied, handing over the dosh. She obviously wanted me to look at bunches of the things, and try bits on - no way, Gonzalez... I wore it once and gave it away some time later.
I still get Christmas cards from her.
