Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thanks for your ideas about vegan suits. I love Pangea, but I'm afraid their suit selection isn't very appealing; plus, I would like to see/try-on the suit in person before I buy it. I've seen a few hemp suits, which are very cool, but I would prefer something a little more sleek/stylish. I love the earthy look, but for work I need something a bit more " normal " , if you'll forgive the word. If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate the input: I have scoured the internet with very limited results.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I wear a " suit " about four times a week for various gigs I do in San Diego (I'm a musician): black polyester sports coat, black slacks, shirt and tie. It works, but it's not very fashionable and doesn't match exactly; some of the places I play are upscale, and it would be nice to have some nice suits to wear. --Sky ________________________________ > > jo.heartwork > Wed, 15 Nov 2006 10:26:12 +0000 > Re: non-wool suits > > Have you not been to any weddings or funerals then???
