Suits Are Better Tech Than Modern Clothes

    100% agree. Its a tragedy that most men only wear suits for special occasions. When a suit is your daily driver, you'll get it tailored and set up correctly... its basically like walking around in pajamas in how it feels, but you look way way better than casual clothes. Sadly I like sunshine so I moved away from places where wearing a suit was normal, to a place where people offer their condolences if you're in a suit (either a wedding or a funeral)

      How is that possible? In my mind in an ideal piece of clothing you can equally do (light) physical activity, or just lay around, and is low maintenance, easy to wash, doesn't wrinkle. A suite the antithesis of this.

        It's possible! Like a suit John Wick is wearing. They are actually doing stunts in suits.

          Yes, but are they ballistic material? Can they protect the wearer against small arms fire just like they do in the John Wick movie?

            I'm sure stunts are done in suits not made with ballistic material!
