I’m kinda sad to say goodbye; it’s a nice, neutral gray, really well constructed, and it reminds me of grandpa. I hope someone can make good use of it. I have a couple more suits of his that I kept because their colors were very good for me (turquoise - don’t laugh), but I doubt they fit well now.
Moth damage is a super huge bummer. It's the equivalent of "troll....in the dungeon!" when I see one in the closet.
I've lost a few Merino wool sweaters this past winter from them. My suits are bagged, but sweaters aren't, and if I go too long between wears they get found and chewed on. Lost a great pair of wool slacks, too - those were actually acquired at a Goodwill.
Totally understand the sentiment behind the grandfather suit, I'd feel the same.
Dilute cedar oil (cheap on amazon) with water in a spray bottle and spritz your closet or drawers every couple months. Keeps moths out.
Can confirm. Keeping some cedar wood/blocks in the closet works well too, just give it a light sanding 2-3 times a year.0 -

What about a woman in a suit? I really like these.... I'm considering buying one or two for my wardrobe...

...and thank YOU for posting some women in suits.
I love the red one - flared legs and all. That suit is versatile and would get a lot of wear in my outfits. It's simple and elegant, conservative enough to be used for business meetings, plain enough to be accessorized any number of ways, and easily paired separately with other jackets, pants, dresses or skirts.
The first one will be dated before you know it. It's basically leggings with a unique jacket. I don't know what the suit costs, but I'm betting you could find an equally interesting jacket for much less than the cost of a suit, and find cheaper leggings to pair (you might even already own some).2 -

This is interesting. Wouldn't flatter me in the least, but it is eye-catching.

@TeacupsAndToning loves pant suits for women, ask her!
She hasn't yet asked but I would 100% buy both of those - although I think I could only get away with wearing the red one to work
I think you'd look fantastic in either one... I agree the first is not workplace appropriate but possibly suitable for a night out on the town at a cool jazz club... whiskey neat in hand

In honor of St. Patrick's Day:
Ladies, would YOU wear this suit?

Absolutely I would
I think the skirt is cute. I like the princess seams and darts in the jacket. Its design is a little Star-Trekkie, but it's fun.

More green:
Tasty.

Shame St. Patrick's Day fell on the weekend. I have a friend who would rock this but with flashier shoes. Me? I'd look like a clown.
Edit - and the skirt is a bit long for my taste.3 -

I'm actually on the lookout found something similar. I've found this, but it's jacket only and really more of a 3 season jacket.
Personally I am not a fan of the green he is wearing, Luet, your pick in the twead material works much better if you're going for that colour imo1 -

I'm on the fence as to whether I'd wear this or not. Seemed like a good idea last night, after a few shots of Jameson... it pretty much screams "look at ME!" -- maybe if you knew everyone else was going to be wearing outfits clamoring for attention... I really like the jacket, but the skirt looks difficult to walk in.

Green can be a pretty overpowering color generally, it's not one that we are used to seeing in that quantity. Maybe I'll do the jacket only when it goes on closeout. It's linen, so it's really a lightweight, summer oriented jacket.
I agree. Jacket only...0 -

I'm not at all sure what I'm looking at.1 -
I have low white pumps which have gotten a lot of wear. They're conservative and comfortable. They're good with a black ensemble that has white details, but they're neutral and can be worn with lots of stuff. I don't especially like the ones in the photo.
I got sucked into this site while searching for green suits.
Not Just Churchsuits
Ladies who dress to go to church - I knew about this custom, but only from movies. I'm not a churchgoer. Nevertheless, I started really getting into the offerings here. If you look under the "Church Suits" category, you will see a lot of delicious ensembles, including this one. I could wear the hell outta that suit. You don't need any accessories, except very plain earrings and a plain black clutch purse. I love how the outer stripes on the skirt make a more slender silhouette. A fool the eye thing. And the asymmetrical design of the jacket, with its snakes of gold and orange ombre, very nice.
They also have a lot of dresses suitable for dancing. I just wish that some of them were made out of materials that are NOT shiny. I'm an entertainer, so I wear stuff like this all the time. Well, not usually with a matching hat. But I like them. Go big or go home.

I like the cut of this suit and don't mind the green on him. I like this navy blue women's. It has a fluted skirt and a cropped jacket.

FWIW - hard pass on the shiny women's suits. The wide leg red(?) suit from a couple pages back was super cute.0
