A couple of weeks ago Dallas hosted the AFI Film Festival and the downtown Neiman Marcus store did an "old movie" theme in the store. The men's department secured 15-20 old Robert DeNiro costumes from various movies and had them on display around the floor. Several were very interesting, but the one that really caught my eye was a petrol blue Duponi silk, three piece number with turnback cuffs on the jacket. I believe it was one he wore as Al Capone in the Untouchables.
Not something I'd wear, but pretty cool.

You almost certainly have to go the custom route to get a Dupioni silk suit.
