Cheap Formal Suit and Tie

[Bugbear]

Bragging? Complaining? A little of both? It sounds perfectly fine to me, although I'd suggest a black bow tie for those "formal" occasions when others might be in a tux. Other than that your Eaton jacket is doing everything an Argyll would do. Which is why an Argyll (or an Eaton, for that matter) is the best all-round jacket for someone starting out-- especially if budget is a concern. You might want to consider adding a PC waistcoat and a six-button waistcoat to round out your wardrobe as finances permit.

See, this is the beauty of this thread. I love MacMillan of Rathdown's advice to have both the three button and the six button waistcoats.

For a lot of us, this is opening up some options that were well out of our budget range. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable.
