How long do your suits last?

My 5 year old Suitsupply suits are starting to get awfully shiny in the elbows and seat pants. Any way to prevent this in the future?

But a spare pair of pants whenever you buy a new suit, adds a lot of mileage if you’re not consistently wearing and tearing the same pair down and is usually only another $100 or so depending on the suit.

Don’t wear them as much... 5 years is a good life for suitsupply. When I wore them every week, 2 years max!

That’s a pretty good life span. I notice suit supply material to not be as good as other brands I’ve owned. Specifically in the crotch area with abrasions from walking.

But same two pants and rotate them will prevent pants problem. For elbow problem, take off your jacket while you are working at desk.

Second the two pairs of pants strategy when buying a suit. It also helps if you have at least 3 suits in your rotation to increase their longevity. Also, provided that you don’t spill anything on yourself and keep them fairly clean, I’d recommended only dry cleaning them once a year.

Some agents are not sincere, and some houses have a negative record (this is what we call the incidents inside the homes), but many agents do not say it. I know it is about ethics, but at the same time, it should be punishable because you are deceiving a person to take advantage of the situation; it is a scam.
