DO THE DOUBLE - ON GQ.CO.ZA


Do you remember double-breasted suits in the '80s and '90s? What do you remember associating them with? Surely not sleek Wall Street types (although in Bret Easton Ellis' “American Psycho” they were rather common). No, somehow when you cast your mind back to this suit you begin to recall how awfully things fit back in that time. Slouchy, oversized and padded. You picture some goon smoking a cigar and holding a tommy gun. It may look cool, but it's not attractive.
