Patina on suits
How shabby should a suit become? Yes, old money and so on, but we are talking about an oily sheen.
Opinions?

Done!
And bought 2 suits from Harvie & Hudson, navy blue, 2 button, lightweight fabric, quite standard style, ok-ish fabric. They will be abused in air and rail travel and binned in 3-4 year.

Definitely not "modern". Slightly more boxy/roomy, butt covered by jacket, traditional lapel width. Not worth more than the 300pounds I paid in sale. But exactly what I need for the job.

The ones from cordings/pakeman catto carter feel more "substantial" and "traditional" and "robust". H&Hs have belt loops and zip front, Cordings have button front and side tabs.
