What do you mean by suit? I’ve never seen a leather or vinyl suit. Are you talking about, like, motorcycle gear?
A top quality suit where I live would be made out of wool or silk.

Piggybacking off of this, I think that the average person treats items they spend more money on with more care.
Higher end stores have maintenance supplies available for purchase while you would never see leather conditioner in H&M near their shoes and purses. It reminds people that longevity is a byproduct of care.
A wool sweater will shrink in the dryer whether it’s $30 or $3,000, but if you spend $3,000 you’re going to triple check that tag before you wash it.

Completely skipped over the part where you mentioned mouth zipper! 😂
