Yes, maybe 5 or 6? He wears them for work maybe once a week or so, plus weddings, funerals, semi-formal parties or social events, and church on big holidays. He also has a tux for formal weddings or parties.
He usually has two good ones at a time, a black and then another either brow, gray etc. He has a third now because he bought it for a wedding he was in the past summer.
He wears jeans and a polo to work everyday. Suits are for weddings, baptisms, funerals, and the company Christmas party.

He has ONE proper blue suit. He didn't even wear a suit to our wedding. He wore a blue jacket and cream silk/linen blend trousers. Gorgeous. He also owns a seersucker jacket, but again, no matching pants.
technically he has one, but it's rather loose fitting and he doesn't like it. i voted "no" because if he had an event where he needed a suit we'd most likely go buy a new one.
the chances of him needing a suit are fairly slim. he wears carharts to work and we live in such a casual area that suits at weddings and funerals are a rarity. maybe for his sisters fancy wedding next fall?

H has the grey one from our wedding, although it might be a little small on him now. He also has a black one from his fraternity days. Might also be too small but he hasn't put either on recently!
ETA: Obviously he doesn't wear them for work His work has a more relaxed dress code than mine does! They can wear jeans and regular tshirts. We at least have to wear dressier shirts and shoes with our jeans!
He owns so many, the closet rod came crashing down in our old apartment. I had told him this would happen and he ignored me. He has a suit addiction and problem. Like sees them on sale and MUST BUY SUIT. He doesn't even wear them to work. Weirdo.
Many, he wears them for work occasionally. He also has a tux. He had a bunch of suits, some shirts and sports coats, and the tux made in HK when we traveled there a few years ago.

Yes a bunch. Some for work, some for special occasions. DH used to have to wear a suit everyday for work. He likes having a suit for occasions like weddings, Christmas, cruises, church events, ect
A few. He obviously doesn't wear them to work, but we go out to places fancy enough for a suit a few times per year. He usually wears his tux to weddings (all of his family's weddings are black tie).
ETA: He's kind of clothes horse. In addition to regular wool suits (dark gray, light gray, and windowpane), he also owns a seersucker suit and a poplin suit.
He may also have more parison shoes than I do!
That is my H. No seersucker though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using proboards
My H is like this too. He even has two tuxedos.
He was so disappointed when he started his current job and found out suits weren't required. He still wears them a few times a week though. He says the reason he went to law school was so he could wear fancy suits everyday.
