I'm going to the Nutcracker ballet next month and want to look awesome. I do not wear a suit often and do not want to spend much for a black one. I have been meaning to the check out the Thompson suit in navy and grey for sometime now but I have yet to see the JCrew Factory Thompson Black in person to know if it would be appropriate. I have worn a BR Tailored cotton jacket in 42R, found the arm holes to restrictive and several inches would need to be taken out of the waist.
Back to my question, is the fabric on the Thompson suit in black appropriate for a black tie event? Joe describes it as a bit rougher, more of a working man's suit.
Opinions and alternatives appreciated.
