Al capone was the creator of the pinstripe man suit XDGermangirl wrote:Yeah, for Elton Johns 60th ? b'day bash, they had the theme of 30/40 years gangster - therefore the stripes. Al Capone like...$abbatha wrote:Pinstripe!!!
Was an accident,Al Capone choosen a marvellous fabric and they sent from...Sicily!!!
During the trasportation by sea accidentally the fabric was stained by powder from gypsum..and it turns out like very symmetric stripe...the fabric at that point was merely useless but Capone wanted to use and commissioned the suit to his usual tailor.
Then became so trendy and fashion due to HIM!!
In Italy the pinstripe dress is an evergreen expecially for men,so classy and very very trendy.

Interesting sab! My hubbie can vouch for italians liking pinstripe, alot of them wear it at his work. pinstripe trousers with a jumper and shirt normally, they have certainly smartened him up, in six years of working there.JEC57 wrote:Well, I learn something new every day......I never knew that!!$abbatha wrote:Al capone was the creator of the pinstripe man suit XDGermangirl wrote: Yeah, for Elton Johns 60th ? b'day bash, they had the theme of 30/40 years gangster - therefore the stripes.
