The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit II is a novel by Sloan Wilson. It is a sequel to his previous novel, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.
The novel describes events in the lives of some of the protagonists of the first novel as they approach middle age. Unlike the first novel, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit II is written in the first person and the character Tom Rath narrates the story of his life. The tone of the novel and the behavior of the characters are dissimilar to the first novel, and some of the first novel's main characters - including Judge Bernstein and the family of Tom's boss, Ralph Hopkins - do not appear in the sequel.
The novel was not a commercial success and many fans of the first novel felt that it did not live up to the expectations set by the original.
