The suits of our leaders.

Raise your hands.


I wish the armholes were smaller.

Looks a bit better

I wonder if Bush's suit (in Matt's thread) is the suit tailored by George De Paris.

In 2007, even the POTUS can't get a decent armhole.

 

[Matt Deckard]

If Bush would just getaway from the bland looks.

And those pesky back bulges...

W. strikes me as the kind of guy who would have his suits tailored a little jakey on purpose, just to impress everybody as a regular off-the-rack guy.

 

[Matt Deckard]

His father had more variety in his wardrobe.

The Bulge

 

[The Wingnut]

Hrmm...sounds as if he wasn't wearing the vest when he was measured for that jacket. Seems like the most viable explanation.

Hey, this day and age you can't even get a military uniform with proper armholes. One of the first things I did upon getting my service dress jacket was the armhole test...sure enough, the lapels bulged and the collar hit me in the back of the head. I was annoyed to say the least.

Well, the suits of today's politicians are necessarily generic and bland. The press have a field day with anyone trying anything different. Blair took an unbelievable amount of abuse for wearing a plum coloured suit.

Though bland in colour, and though i hate all of the people wearing them, a glance around the Tory benches of the House of Commons reveals a number of very well cut and tailored DB and SB 3 piece suits. Unfortunately, this has become associated with the old-money Tories. Wearing a well-cut suit as a leftist is seen as somehow rejecting one's working class roots. [huh]

Anyway, a few of the Tories have nice suits. None of the labour people do. The chap who acted as speaker when the speaker was recently ill is a prime example (can't find good pic).
