I would say no. The business world is an entirely different animal. At least with clothing, it is. The really high-powered business world seems to follow modern fashion trends, where nothing gets worn long enough to show any wear and tear. Anything of classic origin reflects on its owner as being slow, out of date, and obsolete.

But once you step away from business, perhaps there is something to be said for 'character' in one's clothing. The Duke of Rothesay's shoes are a good example.
