    Double breasted suits in the work place

    Why are people still wearing these things?

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

    Are you in a bank?

    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...

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

      Pin stripes make you look taller.

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

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

            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.

              Have you noticed the braces are coming back too?

                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.

                  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").
