I'm looking for a royal blue suit at the moment. I have a DB one but that obviously doesn't go as well with the waistcoat.
Try this outfit, they use e-mail. But call first and ask for Gregg to see if they're up for it.I always say matching fabrics after-the-fact is impossible, but could I send a "virtual swatch" to a decent fabric shop and have them send me a real swatch?
Saw you in Oslo a couple of weeks ago in (I think it was) that very suit. Very nice. Where was the photo taken? (I see some other well-dressed people in the background; looks like some kind of market?)
Where are you shopping, may I ask?You do see three piece suits, including three piece separates sold here in NYC rather frequently, I even see light colored summer/spring suits here with vests off the rack.
I think it's this perception that three-piecers are worn by businessmen and professionals and the "stuffy, straitlaced" air that they give, is what's caused their decline in general during the 1980s-2000s.

As a child, I remember my family doctor frequently wore a three-piece suit (although he usually left the jacket hanging on his chair and would walk around his surgery with just the trousers and waistcoat).
I am attempting to get enough waistcoats in my wardrobe to replicate that look. I really hate just wearing a shirt and tie under my white coat. The tie flops around (even with a tie bar). I already refrain from wearing a white shirt, as I feel I need some degree of color under the coat, having waistcoats brings more options, particularly if they are interesting waistcoats like double breasted or if they have lapels.
I also like the anachronism of taking a pulse with a pocket watch!
