Interviewing: the importance of owning two suits?

After getting into the swing of interview season, I'd seriously recommend minimum 3, possibly 4 interview suits.

Stuff gets wrinkled and dirty, far more than I expected and between travel timing and dry cleaning turn around, its kinda inconvenient.

Considering 1 interview that you fly to will cost ~$500, you might as well get 1-2 more suits.

Might not be worth it if you are interviewing at <10 places or more if they are spread out, but when you have 3 in a week, having 2 suits is pushing it.

It sounds a bit dangerous to only have 3-4 suits. You should definitely own one suit per interview. That is the only logical (and safe) course to take.
