. . . but at age 81 I own exactly ZERO suits. Do own a couple of really nice sport coats or blazers or whatever they are that I picked up at a Goodwill store years ago. Ditto for some really nice slacks and shirts -- all used, all top quality, all from Goodwill.

Best time to shop thrift stores is December because that's when the rich folks are ditching their wardrobes for the tax deduction they can get for donations. I find lots of what appear to be bespoke shirts, trousers, jackets, suits in Goodwill in the DC area. Smaller areas may not have the same.
