Seated six feet away from a client after being wedged in the AirTran flight MCO to ATL, then grubbing it on the MARTA train to Buckhead (it ain't sexy, but traffic in ATL sux) and following the meeting up with an errant bit of The Palm's salad, potato, or steak on your lap, it really makes no sense to then jump into a taxi cab to Hartsfield International wearing a suit worth more than the taxi.
Plus the JoAB suits are made by orphans in Vietnam and China, so that really helps the kids out.

Exactly, there's a time and a place for different suits.. try riding the NYC Subway system in August! I have to throw away and replace all of my white dress shirts every fall after putting them through a NYC summer of sweating and commercial cleaning.
