Suits with Coloured Flecks

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

No teenage boy worth his salt was seen without a dark suit (usually slightly shiny) which had multi coloured flecks of cotton throughout. These flecks were usually in pastel colours and the sleeves of the jackets had to be rolled up!

    Dunno but for some reason they looked scruffy, esp. if - as all male 80s fashionistas did - worn with a mullet. Still, if they're good enough for Don Johnson...! Joins flares, platforms, legwarmers, etc. in the pantheon of pointless 70s & 80s fashion.
