Reply to: Double breasted suits in the work place

And double-breasted make a better stab a keeping the Chardonnay-bellies in check.

Singles can't really be done up in that instance, they'd be straining at the leash...

Not that I have to bother much with a suit anymore.

I always wear either Plain Black suit or a charcoal grey with chalk stripe suite, i always wear double cuff shirts, with a cut away collar, never wear a tie and always wear brogues.

I have worked in the square mile since 1994.

I'd fit right in then

Do the grunts (developers) working in the City wear full suits still? I never had to wear a suit, shirt & tie was as far as I could bear. Contractors in banks, etc, what's the deal? Old-school suit/modern jacket & no tie/classic shirt+tie/full pinstripe?

Most of the old school dev guys in the city plump for the short sleeve shirt and comedy tie look.

Very fetching.

Why are people still wearing these things?

Where do they get them from? Pin striped ones as well.

Easier to reach for the shoulder holster.

Threaded.

Question is how many people are wearing them. There is always someone that can't let go. We have two guys here that are never seen withough a dickie bow instead of a tie. For those numbers you have to accept there are the odd few eccentrics around that just can't be explained.

In a financial, not a bank though.

And I have seen more fat on a butcher's pencil than is on this guy.

Then it's possibly SAS's answer ("a uniform").

But probably Bunk's answer ("a Twunt").

Are you in a bank?

Someone once told me that when he started working in the city he saw all the pin-striped suits and thought "Why the hell are they wearing those horrible things?".

After a year he thought "Actually, they don't look too bad".

After the 2nd year he started thinking "Those suits are quite nice actually".

The following year he started thinking about buying one and then quit the city because he realised he'd turned into a twunt.

If you are in a senior role in the City a pinstripe of some sort is de rigeur. It's a kind of uniform and nothing to do with being a twunt or not.

Have you noticed the braces are coming back too?

The agents have come in to meet the clients then, at last.

Pin stripes make you think you look taller.

So, do you have a lot of fat short a*ses at your place?

[Clippy]

If you are of a larger girth then they look better on you than single breasted suits.
