No, cheap suits are also not machine washeable. What makes them not machine safe is the lining. You can machine wash some unlined suits, depending on their material and lapel construction.
can’t see gays crying about pocket square and tie not matching, surprised
What are you talking about? Pocket squares SHOULDNT match the tie pattern.
Go ahead and not wear suits anymore, you’ll probably never be in a situation more formal than a wedding or funeral, or be engaged in business at a level that demands anything more than chinos and a collared shirt. You’re good.
>situation more formal than a wedding or funeral
Unless you’re in the 0.01% who goes to a ball where the dress code calls for formal wear, then there isn’t anything more formal than a wedding or a funeral. Aside from certain politicians, bankers and lawyers no one even wears a suit and tie professionally anymore.
>you’ll probably never be in a situation more formal than a wedding or funeral
What’s more formal than a wedding or a funeral? Do you attend coronations, you hecking stupid?
I didn’t say the original thing, but weddings are barely formal now. as for funerals, you just need a black suit, a white shirt, a black tie, and black oxfords
It gets about that formal at important business conferences/ meetings, upscale dinners, and anywhere you’re around people who would care about their appearance.
It becomes a lot less likely then that you’d never need a formal suit
but I think the guy’s original point is that someone who never wears a suit would only own a black one for funerals and a blazer for slightly smart occasions, so funerals can be ignored, and because they don’t have a suit, they wouldn’t be invited to anything important
whatever, suit is more adaptive than any clothes, the only thing you can’t do in the jacket is sports, but in my school, where we’ve been forced to wear a jacket guys used to tackle their pants, throwing tie and jacket away for a football
Aside from bankers and lawyers, if you’re involved in international business, b2b sales, real estate sales, pitching to boomer investors or for government contracts, or any position in which you’re expected to represent an entity in person to non-employees at a level above retail sales or blue collar work, a suit is necessary attire. Perhaps not everyday attire, but a few times per month. As said before, you probably aren’t nor ever will be in such a role so you could probably rent a suit all 5 times you’ll ever need to wear one and spend less than buying, but such roles exist. I know because I’m in one. You’re fine with chinos and OCBDs for life.

Hugo said you don’t need to wash them at all, just brush them off at the end of the day
inb4 "stinky frenchman", it is literally "dress clothing", not meant to be sweated and worked out intensely in
basically, if you want clothes that you can machine wash and wear while you’re actually doing things, just wear a shirt, chinos, and a chore jacket or something
It’s really that easy
Take a closer look at the design of the suit
The shirt has a collar and cuffs, the sole purpose of these is to prevent the jacket from touching your neck and wrists.
There is not a single part of the suit that is touching any parts of your body that get dirty.
Most of the dirt that a suit accumulates is external, in which case you need only brush it off.
If you wear a suit 3x a week for a year, you will have to wash it only twice. It doesn’t get dirty, it’s like a necktie, how often do you wash your neckties? they don’t really get dirty, they’re not touching your body.
yea but it’s dirty in the sense of dust and debris
how will you reasonably get filth, scum, sweat, or toilet water on your tie?
toilet water I can see how, but itll probably just bead off or be in such tiny amounts it could be ignored
Doctors moved away from ties because they can hang down and touch a patient which is unsanitary while also not being a disposable sterile item, which these days is everything that touches a patient. Notice that even the jacket the doctor wears over his shirt and tie is disposable. That being said I read there was a lot of pushback from doctors who considered their ties to be a sign of professionalism.
and no one mentioned that a good suit is made of pure natural fabric, which actually says you can’t wash it and you can’t wear it more than twice in a row days for a week, i always knew /sprezz/ is a bunch of suckers
synthetic is just produced that way, not that it’s cheap or not functioning properly, summer suits are butterfly lined, if you mind, my point is that cheaper suits are more heavy-duty by adding some synthetic materials so they are more durable or stretchy that way
I wouldn’t say never, I mean it’s rare and usually in warmer climate/more casual suits but they exist, eg. I own one italian made suit that has a little stretch made by caruso.

I’m not defending them either, just saying some high end made in italy stretch suits exist.

Stretch fabric is only useful in tight clothing, and tight suits are very out of fashion right now. For regular fitting suits, they are straight up worse because of how they slowly lose their property as they age, leading to uneven permanent stretching and deformed clothes. Looser suits (specially trousers) are also better for warm climates, but at some point it becomes a matter of personal preference and body type.

Survival of the fittest.
That’s not really true. You can absolutely wash wool suits. Machine washing isn’t all that different from dry cleaning (dry cleaning simply uses a chemical solvent). Wool cycle or hand wash work just as well as dry cleaning. Still washing a suit isn’t as easy as washing a cotton t-shirt, that you would just toss in the wash, even if you select the wrong cycle it’ll probably be fine. You put a suit in a regular cycle with lots of spinning, it’ll probably be damaged. So to avoid issues with customers, suit manufacturers just cross out the wash symbol. Also ironing is quite the task as well, it actually requires some practice to perfectly iron a suit. You shouldn’t really wash/dry clean a suit all the often anyway, maybe a few times a year with regular wear.
Only cheap suits are machine washable.
You could still stick it in a laundry bag though and use a cold machine wash, or hand wash.
U sound ghey.

Nothing worse than a suit without a tie

Only the peons have to wear a suit to meetings, bosses wear polo t shirts and boat shoes on yachts

well put anon

Actually, neckties get incredibly dirty. Doctors have moved away from wearing them precisely because they were rarely washed.
yea but it’s dirty in the sense of dust and debris
how will you reasonably get filth, scum, sweat, or toilet water on your tie?
toilet water I can see how, but itll probably just bead off or be in such tiny amounts it could be ignored

aaand they started wearing bowties instead
How about doctors in ascots ?
most people aren’t arms deep in blood and guts during their day job you stupid
>he thinks doctors wear ties in the operating room
anyone have screenshots of that guy who claimed to be borrowing a suit and threw it in the wash? funniest shit to ever grace this godforsaken board
I was just thinking about this one.
im going to scrub the archive see if i can’t find it
pls post
and no one mentioned that a good suit is made of pure natural fabric, which actually says you can’t wash it and you can’t wear it more than twice in a row days for a week, i always knew /sprezz/ is a bunch of suckers
Most suits have a synthetic lining, even the expensive ones.
that isn’t relevant at all
synthetic is just produced that way, not that it’s cheap or not functioning properly, summer suits are butterfly lined, if you mind, my point is that cheaper suits are more heavy-duty by adding some synthetic materials so they are more durable or stretchy that way
Stretch fabrics are never used in quality suits though. Stretch suits are the epitome of cheap chink shit marketed towards stupids.
I wouldn’t say never, I mean it’s rare and usually in warmer climate/more casual suits but they exist, eg. I own one italian made suit that has a little stretch made by caruso.
