Perennial classic. Lengthening, slimming, smart.

My favorite suit was medium gray with pinstripes -- it really was a beauty. Oh for the days of 42 Regular.

my new pinstripe black linen suit is most definitely classic.

although, the kids, be warned: do not go to star stitch on miller street in glasgow to get your keks shortened. they'll last two days before the thread breaks. bastards.

classic if the clothes are expensive and well made. dud on cheap things where the stripes don't align properly.

Old-timey pinstripes make sense. I mean didn't those stripes used to actually have a function?

thinning

I keep thinking they must have had some anchoring function or something though, really. I mean they're so tied in with the whole depression era mentality or am I just imagining that? Like who could afford to put some gratuitous stripe in your pants when there wasn't even food in the cupboard.

"i would pay big money for a bridget riley-designed suit"

I've read that Brigit is apt to be litigous about the use of her op-art stuff on fabrics. I've seen it done, but not often, and perhaps that's the reason.

classic in queens, dud in the bronx
