He's wearing a three piece suit in a fairly heavy wool, the roll of the lapels suggests a mid-weight tweed. It's impossible to judge exactly due to the grain on the pic though.
If you want to buy a good quality dark tweed suit in the British Isles there are tons of places you can buy, I'd look for vintage first as it's the best price for the quality.

However if you go to Abercrombie ever for any reason you deserve what will happen to you.


The shirt as noted is a club collar shirt, it seems to have a pleated shirtfront but that's extremely rare to nonexistent in daywear nowadays and I suggest that you don't ape this aspect. Club collars per se are easy to get though.

Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the detail and honesty of your answer. If you'll permit one more question of me, are there any shops in particular you've had good experiences buying vintage clothes in? I live in Ireland and my city has one second hand vintage shop, but it's more hippie-oriented and doesn't contain clothes in classical modern styles, and getting a good fit is a problem as well - there's always something, and there are no alternative fits to try. A website would be better again.

I'm afraid the best vintage shops are all in London -- Hornets and David Saxby are the best ones I know of, especially for tweeds and the like. In Ireland I would maybe try to look for someone local who makes Donegal tweed suits -- it all depends on how much you have to spend, really. Hornets does have a webshop as well, but IMO, it's not too good.

If you know how to spot garbage you can get some good vintage tweed off ebay as well. I think there are one or two dedicated sellers of nothing but vintage tweed jackets and suits. In general though, buying online's always iffy. You want to try on the suit, always, even if it's nominally the right size. So many things can be wonky about the fit of a suit that you can't just go by the chest measurement and the length.
