Stripes in all sorts of variations are once again a vogue in men's fashion. And that's why the pinstripe suit is back at the forefront. Among the suits, it is an absolute favorite and has proven itself as a timeless classic. The striped suit is elegant and suits every man.

The chalk suit

The pinstripe suit was worn by elegant dandies like Rudolph Valentino and Hollywood stars like Clark Gable. Over the course of the twentieth century, the macho suit evolved into serious business attire. However, not all pinstripes are the same. For the choice of fabric, the further apart the stripes and the thinner they are, the more business-like the suit. This means that there is a big difference between Al Capone’s stripes and the thin stripes of a distinguished banker.
