Help me find a linen suit! I am attending a wedding in Toronto this weekend, and it will be bloody hot! 32C, 37C with the humidex. Wedding is in an non-AC church, and reception is outside. Yes, I'm going to die of heat stroke, so might as well look good doing it. I'm looking for a nice linen suit, something like this. Hopefully for about the same price too, < $300. Any ideas of where to get one in Vancouver? http://www.thesuitrack.com/media/cat...linen-suit.jpg |
Mexx... They got a bunch on sale for up to 50% off.. Though many smaller sizes have been sold already Edit: the one I went to was in richmond center Posted via RS Mobile |

So the Queensborough location sucks, 1 linen/cotton blend suit, ugly as hell. Tried Moores, they don't sell linen suits. May just have to buy linen pants and shirt, screw the jacket, its too hot anyways. |
Le Chateau has what appears to be perfect: Le Château: Modern Fit Linen Blazer - Tailored Hopefully the Richmond Centre location has something, yet I doubt it. |
Aww.. I can never find anything nice at the outlet anyways.. The bf bought 2 linen shirts that I picked out at mexx for 20bux ea. Can't beat that! Goodluck with the find! Posted via RS Mobile |
Mexx clothing is crap and so is stuff from Le Crapeau. Banana Republic (Canadian online site) has 40% off on already-reduced merchandise. They have grey 100% linen suit separates on sale right now. A jacket and pants can be had for $200. I was tempted to pick up a set myself, but before I could pull the trigger, size 40 jackets were sold out. The pants: Apparel, Handbags, and Accessories for Men and Women | Banana Republic The jacket: Apparel, Handbags, and Accessories for Men and Women | Banana Republic Edit: Just saw that you are going this weekend. You can probably find sizes in store, but your discount will only be 25%. Good luck. |

That's a nice suit, I'll see if the Richmond Centre location has it, or hopefully elsewhere in the city. I was really hoping for a natural/beige suit, I have a lot of grey already. |

So I picked up the grey suit from BR, and the natural suit from Le Chateau. I want to love the natural colour, yet the pants just don't work. The colour is somewhat see-through, and the skinnier cut of Le Chateau just doesn't help. I LOVE the BR suit. The fit is a little tight as I had to get a 44 jacket and 36 pant when I need a 46 and 38. I tried a 46 and 38 in a similar suit and it fit like a glove. The reason I had to get the 44 and 36 is cause the BR sale ends today! They called and put the right sizes on hold at another store, and all I need to do is go exchange the suit tomorrow (or return it if it doesn't fit). Woohoo! Oh and I got it for far less than the prices online! < $300 tax in, while online it'd be $190 + $140 + tax == ~$370. Now the question is... do I wear a tie? I'm wearing a shit like this: http://royaltag.com.pk/static/img/pr...-shirt-636.jpg |

My go-to suit is a grey herringbone (not unlike the colour of the grey linen suit) and it always works with a plain white shirt. |

Unfortunately I learned a long time ago that white shirts and I do not mix. Like most bigger dudes, I sweat through shirts. Drysol is a lifesaver to prevent yellow stains, yet still any white shirt doesn't stay white for very long. For the same reason I have only patterned shirts, no solids. Patterns seem to hide blemishes and colour differences that develop over time. I have a lot of shirts with small patterns like above, closest to solid I have :) Come to think of it... I only have patterned ties too... hmmm nothing formal with a solid colour in my entire closet except a couple pairs of pants. |
