I Love Well Fitted Suits

There is no satisfaction that equals wearing a well-fitted suit.
I did have a line of work in which suits were expected wear but there is a real pleasure in dressing well. And one feels more "suited" to the task, more confident in one's abilities to follow through.
It doesn't hurt that ladies often compliment me at an event!
My advice to younger men is to try to have at least one conservatively tailored suit custom-made for you. The satisfaction pay-back will be enormous.

I totally agree with you. I think that clothes makes a man.
I've been with my husband for over 42 years and he works with his hands on a daily basis. He has done everything from putting engines in cars to remodeling our home and I've never once saw him with dirty hands after he's showered shaved and dressed.
I can't understand why men doesn't take pride in there appearance. Clothes definitely makes a man.

Yes, there's no excuse for hard work or dirty jobs for a man to go dirty.

Yes! Every man should have a well fitted suit. Have a knowelda sale person make sure it fits you. Don't just try a separate on at a discount store and say " it's fine!". Make sure the sleeves are the proper length, shoulders fit, waist fits and the proper amount of break on the trouser.

@Pauly I've studied the leading male style icons of the 30s through the 50s when actors like Grant, Cooper, Fairbanks, Powell set standards. We have an advantage on them due to better materials. For example, it used to be necessary to have a suspender like device to hold up stockings; now nylon and spandex assist. Zippers only came into use in the mid-30s. Lighter materials are available now and of course easier care.
So it is much easier to have the distinguished look today.
