I am not sure any high-end manufacturer is going to make functional suits again. The market has just sort of dried up, people today only wear suits for business or formal occassions. Nobody wears suits for leisure, travel, etc.
The coolest vintage styles often involve things like belted backs, action pleats, etc but seriously who uses those things anymore? You would have a suit which could never be worn as a business suit and is too casual to wear in the evening.
We can only hope I guess that the general level of formality in dress rises to the point where the suit is a legitimate item of everyday clothing again. People in this forum are on the cutting-edge of that movement and if we make our opinions known to makers like Brooks Brothers we might be able to get them to make some interesting things again.
