Skinner’s Dress Suit tells the story of Skinner (Reginald Denny) and his adoring wife Honey (Laura La Plante) living the American dream (or as we might call it, suburban hell!). But Honey does not think that her husband’s office job is bringing in a salary that’s up to his worth.
She immediately buys him a dress suit, and this single purchase puts Skinner on the road to ruin, involving him in so many new social obligations that he is soon faced with bankruptcy. Greatly burdened with debt, Skinner loses his job.

She starts making plans to spend that extra $10 a week; the first thing is a new dress suit for him and a new outfit for her so they can fit in at a swanky party. They're the hit of the party, and Honey is embraced by the 'smart set.' Meanwhile, business is bad and Skinner loses his job.
