Not a slim fit, just a basic classic cut, no bowing or creasing when I wear it. (so far) It's the most expensive piece of clothing I ever purchased and I'm hoping I could get away with it for a while more as I know little of current fashion and nothing about suits.
I'm at the age where funerals are becoming a common occurrence, and I'm old fashioned enough that I generally hate when people are very casually dressed for one.
