Claiborne Concepts
My favorite suit is a simple black pinstripe Claiborne Concepts set. It’s a dark color suit but its very light material so I don’t find myself sweating to death when I wear it.
I’ve worn it to formal dinners, weddings, and (unfortunately) funerals and it’s held up amazingly well. There are several reasons why I love this suit, but there are two big ones.
First, it fits great. I’m 6’1” and a lean 160 pounds, but I have very broad shoulders so I take a 44 jacket. Due to my height I did have the sleeves and pant legs let out a bit, but that’s it. When the jacket is buttoned it still looks great and not too roomy as some other jackets have on me.
Second, I found it on sale at the mall, so I didn’t spend an arm and a leg on it. I was also able to get it measured and altered in the same store by their very knowledgeable staff. Turn around on the alterations was only 2 days. I got a great deal and overall a buying experience that had no negative points, so there’s no bad thoughts or regrets anytime I take it off the hangers.
