Glen plaid is sometimes nicknamed the Prince of Wales check, as it was popularized by the Duke of Windsor when Prince of Wales.

It is the perfect pattern for someone who is just starting to venture into the world of patterned suits because it is subtle design of small and large checks, usually made of black/grey and white, or with more muted colors, particularly with two dark and two light stripes alternate with four dark and four light stripes which creates a crossing pattern of irregular checks. From a distance some glen plaids even look like solid grey.
 
I suggest treating a glen plaid suit like a solid color suit, it works well with just about every color as well as large patterns.
 
Other than thrift store, you can find some of the best deals around at JC Penny.  The store's main brands, Stafford, Stafford Prep, and JCP have begun making very nice looking clothes in a modern slimmer fit. Many people still think of JC Penny as a second rate clothing store, this allows a lot of the best clothes to hang around long enough to go on super sale. Never pay full price for anything at JC Penny!
