As my son always says, "buy it nice, or buy it twice".
My father believed in buying good quality clothes, as they lasted a lot longer than the cheap stuff. He always made an entrance, sharply dressed and neat as a pin. He believed in the conversative look as it never goes out of style.
I personally think he wanted to dress as a movie star, and he did.

Very strong resemblance to George Raft in his looks.
Both of them are right. My son, always dresses well. IMHO
