We are sad to say that we're behind the ball on this one — the suit is nearly sold out (if you're a size 44, you are very, very lucky!). But oh, how we love it: a classic black suit with just the teeniest bit of insouciance with the classic Paul Smith swirl in the piping on the lapel. It's even wool! Gorgeous, gorgeous. It's marked down nearly 70%, too: it's currently $345, with an extra 20% off today, bringing it down to $276 at Couture Candy.

Actually, I tried to purchase the suit, and the discount would not apply. When I e-mailed customer service, they responded that the discount did not apply to sale merchandise– so the price is $345, not $276. Out of my budget this month, so I did not purchase the suit.
