Most suits you find will be your two-button single breasted variety, because that's what's in style right now. So as long as you don't let a sales clerk talk you into something else (which he or she shouldn't if you tell them that's what you want) you'll be fine. There’s no need for worry.

I also posted this on C-Mac's blog but I still don't know if I feel comfortable enough to walk into a suit store and pick something out with any degree of confidence. I'm concerned it won't be wool single breasted with notch lapels model like you describe, and that it won't fit right. I have no idea. But I do agree with you about the importance of a suit that fits right. (That said, I'm reading Warren Buffett's biography right now and he was famous up through his 40s of wearing poorly fitting suits that appeared to have come off the bargain rack. So I'm not SUPER concerned that it's just the clothes that make the man... cause you know, I'm as awesome as Warren Buffett I guess?) This is well written Caleb.
