I'm not sure about having 4 or 5 suits... I travel to a new country about every month and its usually always hot & summer where I travel. (not fan of cold weather)
Agreed. Even with two linen suits, that would take up more space in my luggage than I'm willing (or allowed) to carry on.
How would a globetrotter avoid looking like a one trick pony in this case?
I travel with one of these.
When I travel, it's not to visit a bunch of temples and take a bunch of pictures of things that I could easily find photos of on the Internet. I travel to meet people and run game.
I come prepared to make a powerful impression. In a bag of that size, I can fit four very strong outfits.
(Four suit jackets, two or three very interchangeable pairs of pants, two pairs of dress shoes, plenty of socks, a single t-shirt and some shorts for sleeping, five button down shirts and one pair of running shoes).
I don't carry much other than clothes with me. Just a small laptop (~2 LB), a small portable hard-drive, maybe some electrical converters and a toothbrush.
I don't end up with a heavy bag at the end of the day, in fact, I've been known to bypass escalators and run of flights of stairs to save time.
I'm generally pretty sweaty on arrival, because the bag blocks air flow to a big portion of my body surface, but once the bag is in my hotel room and I have a full wardrobe ready for my pipelined dates.
Once I'm settled in, you'd never guess that I'm a tourist from how I'm dressed.
The Suit's lifestyle requires a certain level of commitment. It's not something you just casually do.

Do suits have good resale value?
No.
