I've noticed that fancy clothes that fit properly are quite
comfy.  When ever I find myself with "enough" money, I intend to purchase
a pair of well tailored suits.  One fairly formal one, and one somewhat
casual one.  Unfortunatly, tailors are starting to be a rare breed in this
country, and also unfortunately, I've pretty much established after
quite a bit of shopping that I won't be able to get a suit that properly
fits until I can afford one that is custom tailored.  When I look at
jackets that are large enough, the shoulders are all wrong.

Wearing suits would pretty much be confined to job interviews, and social
settings, since it doesn't look like suits are going to be making a
corporate comeback anytime soon, and I don't really want to work for the
parts of large companies that require that sort of dress anyway.

I believe that Neal Stephenson made some comments to this effect in
Cryptonomicon.

There is just no making you happy, is there.
