Saturday suit-wearing is overkill for washing the car or raking the yard but, like black tie, it rewards going out of one's way to find occasions for it. Weekend-appropriate suits can be as business-like as a glen check for lunch in the city with friends or something completely informal such as corduroy that can be worn with a rollneck sweater to a football game (American or otherwise). They tell the world that the wearer is not working, something that cannot be said for most other clothing.
In the photo, an old tweed suit worn with a wool necktie, nailhead shirt, silk square and suede semi-brogues.

Wow! Every bit as dashing as those old Laurence Fellows illustrations.

And with a complimentary tweed hat, absolutely smashing!
It's most galling that the attached photo is named 'old clothes.jpg.
Most of my 'good' suits are about that quality; my 'old clothes' are several more rungs down the ladder.
