Could be cool, as long as it's a good mix of functional and dressy (meaning that fabric should be some high-performance textile, but still look like a suit). We need more of this kind of stuff! Too bad it'll be one million dollars...; February 11, 2009 at 4:40 PM

F*cking sharp looking. But certainly not quite in my budget.; February 11, 2009 at 4:46 PM

The fabric is 100% wool, produced by a British mill and has the handle and weight of a traditional suiting cloth but importantly it also has a high performance showerproof and stain resistant finish.; February 20, 2009 at 8:17 AM
