Does anyone know of any company or label that sells white men's suits with black pinstripes? Is there a special name for such suits?

Yes, but I'm afraid that the moderators might not like it used here.

The word 'pimp' comes to mind, for some strange reason.

Fair enough point and I can understand the possible association with persons in less than legal lines of work. I was wondering if any company outside novelty shops used to make them for the serious consumer.

I remember reading somewhere that such suits were common in the 1930s and I also read that someone in Seattle had starting making them again for the high end market.

I'm going to wrap a sheet around ****** and walk the streets because they were quite popular about 1000 years ago.

Saw P-Diddy wearing a white linen pin stripe at a restaurant a couple weeks ago.
