> New York in August makes it pretty unpleasant to wear a suit.

As Neal Stephenson has observed, the three-piece wool suit makes perfect sense if you're in a place where the year-round temperature is a constant 50 degrees F, indoors and out.

Basically, the British Isles before modern central heating, and nowhere else.

Its also hard to deny that a well-fitted suit just looks good though.

I think they look antiquated. I'd prefer never to wear clothing that needs to be treated with harsh chemicals.
