Are suits hot? Seems nuts to layer up indoors as I run pretty hot as is.

Is Tip Top still a thing? Is that what I'm after? Or Moore's? Prefer a store in South Centre Mall.

Will I be able to wear this same suit for weddings? Maybe just with a different shirt and tie?

Sorry to hear about the funeral.

For that budget I would recommend going to Indochino (they have a store in chinook), unfortunately, since it's for a funeral I assume the timeline won't work, as it'll be a few weeks to get the suit back from there.

For colour, I would stay away from black. Black suits aren't the most versatile.

Go with a dark/medium grey. It'll still be appropriate for a funeral, and you can wear it for other things without looking like you're going to a funeral.
