Where Did Colbert's Suit Come From?
I can understand there might be a few people who'd want to know who tailored the camouflage suit Stephen Colbert wore on last night's Colbert Report from Iraq. Certainly all the businessmen with meetings in the desert who want their torso and legs to appear invisible must be clamoring for the getup. But it turns out they're not the only ones. In fact, I'm told a lot of people are just dying to know, so here you go:
The American clothier designed the one-of-a-kind, made-to-measure camouflage suit in Army “digicamo” material based on the “Madison” style suit from the company’s 1818 Collection. The suit has all of the finish details found in Brooks Brothers suiting, including a tan lining with the jacket sleeves lined in a cream and green striped fabric. The garment is finished with a Brooks Brothers tag reading “Custom Tailored.” And is paired with coordinating flat-front trousers. Keeping with the “Made in America” spirit of the show, the suit was manufactured in Brooks Brothers’ Southwick suit factory in Haverhill, MA in two weeks time.
There you have it. Now you know where such an outfit can be procured. Don't worry, I won't ask questions. It's between you, your family and your god.
The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.
