Gotta go suit shopping 
Most pointless type of shopping there is  First of all how do you tell what is good & bad  Then you contend with what colour to get etc. Then what colour shirt do you buy? Then What colour tie etc etc etc. Not that cheap either!
All this for something you wear just a few times
Already got a plain black one, but its a bit too "funeral" for a wedding. Thinking either a grey one or I saw a fairly nice pin stripe YSL t'other day in town. Your thoughts? Pin stripe or gray?

Sounds like you're making a big deal about it.
Are you that indecisive when you go to the corner shop

But at a guess, I think he wants to make it through the entire day without it falling to pieces.

Only me that gets suits from Matalan then?
Full suits for £40, I buy 3 or 4 at a time. There are actually some really nice designs. I've had a £300 suit before, and apart from the slightly better material quality, there's no difference in terms of style.
