It would be nice to see more RTW three piece suits. For a long time this arrangement was only to be had from custom tailors and/or thrift shops. It does mean, however, that we will see more 'interpretations' of the look as the hipsters latch on with a vengeance (army boots, rolled up pants, extra-short vests so as to show shirt and phat belts, etc etc). Mixed blessing, really. But if it means I can go out and buy a modestly priced three piece suit in a store, then that's good.

3 piece RTW suits are easy to find in London. I have seen lots of them recently, e.g. in Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Aquascutum, Gieves & Hawkes and Selfridges. You should be able find one online that will fit your budget.

Nice article.

I just hate the way I see them worn on the forumz.  Everyone on there always seems to overdo it.  The addition of a vest with a suit is already enough, in this day and age.  However, iGents have to add all sort of stuff to an otherwise already put together ensemble:  e.g., fobs, hankies, flowers in the buttonholes, etc., etc., usually many of these at once...
