Fitz and the Tantrums...Looking for tight-fitting suit

This may seem like an unusual post, but I've been following this band, Fitz and the Tantrums, and even before I saw them in concert, I've wanted a snug-fitting suit, like Fitz, the lead singer wears. I even like the pick stitching on the gray suit that you can see on the intro of the video, "MoneyGrabber." Talk about detail! That's what I love about this group; it is the aesthetic style of their wardrobe AND music.

"MoneyGrabber" (check out jacket):

I really don't like the pink color in this suit, but you get the idea:

So here's my question! Where can I find a suit, like this, that is a bit Pee Wee Herman-ish, I know, but I love it. I like the gray best! It's just happening, hip and cool. Here's another link and I've posted some photos, too. Your help is appreciated, my happy wise shoppers! I've looked, but I truly haven't found something like this!

Vicki, what a coincidence! I just saw Fitz and the Tanturms at the Austin City Limits festival, and I was struck at how stylish Fitz and his co-singer were. It was one of the best sets of the 3 days!

I loved his suit, and check out the striped shirt! I lurved his hair, an assymetrical black bob with a white shock.

And his co-singer, Noelle Scaggs looked equally cool, wearing a black lace shirt, a sharp shouldered jacket and black pants.

Their energy and music were also fab!

Good luck on mimicking this look; it's a great style aspiration!

I totally dig Fitz and the Tantrums. How fun are you!?

Check out EXPRESS. And make it your own. Cool inspiration.

Easy peasy. You want past season Thom Browne for women. He looks to be in a different direction currently. Failing that, just plain Thom Browne for men and have it tailored if necessary.

Since this stuff is very expensive, maybe consider a suit you like from a boy's department and have it altered if need be.

I just discovered Fitz and the Tantrums and am totally digging their sound. Love the idea and inspiration and am very eager to see what you come up with!

Wow! I'm so glad so many of you love this group too, along with their style sense! I REALLY APPRECIATE these links everyone shared and I'll take a look at them shortly. @Isis: Love these great recent photos! Yeah, Noelle's worth mimicking, too, and isn't Fitz's "signature" haircut interesting! @Heather: You sound like my friend who uses that line "how fun are you!?" and it makes me smile! I may be a bit past the median age, but when I hear music that moves me, it's a wonderful experience and a unifying force with others. @Vildy: A boy's suit! Hadn't thought of that, but love that as I'm a size XS, 2 or 4 and have shopped in the children's section before. Great idea.

I live in Newport Beach, CA and flew to Tucson, AZ to see them @ Hotel Congress earlier this year, because the OC venue was sold out! When I hear music that really moves me, I'm hooked (like Mumford & Sons!). My musical tastes run the gamut, and I still savor the moment when I bought Adele tickets on ebay and saw her at The Roxy, on Sunset Blvd., before her Grammy win. It felt like a seminal moment in music, seeing her in a small club, singing "Hometown Glory" and "Chasing Pavements." Thanks for rocking my world today with your posts and great suggestions! p.s. Sirius radio is where I hear a lot of good music!
