The pinstripe suit was born in the City of London, where nineteenth-century banks wove distinctive stripe patterns into their employees' cloth so that clerks and messengers could be identified on the streets around Threadneedle Street. The pattern outlived its institutional purpose and became instead the defining uniform of the City itself, the stripe no longer marking which bank you worked for but simply that you worked there at all. The story you are thinking of, wider spacing for younger bankers and narrower for the senior men, is a compelling piece of City folklore, but the historical record does not confirm it cleanly enough to state as fact. What it does confirm is that stripe spacing carried meaning in that world, and that a wide space between a thin stripe, as here, was always the more confident and legible choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is Kiton throughout: spalla camicia shoulder, handmade buttonholes, horn buttons, 2.5 button closure on notch lapels, patch pockets, and half lining. The suit comes with two pairs of trousers, one single-pleated with a turn-up and one flat-fronted with a plain hem, covering the full range of formality the suit's cloth and construction can support.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kiton","offers":[{"title":"48 IT \/ 38 US \/ Medium \/ Dark Blue \/ 100% Wool","offer_id":59894327476556,"sku":"SA02933","price":1348.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6187\/1105\/files\/Photoroom_20261112_082014.png?v=1794468432","url":"https:\/\/sartorialistamsterdam.com\/products\/kiton-dark-blue-fine-wool-pinstripe-banker-suit-extra-trousers","provider":"Sartorialista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
