Small red stripe on Tripps' jackets


he has one on every jacket he wears..does anyone know what does it represent??

reply

It's a bespoke suit. The stripe represents the suit has been tailor made for him.

Does anyone else think it looks tacky? It looks like a stray thread...
but then I'm not among the rich and famous so probably don't
appreciate it for what it is ;o)

Sorry but I can't let this one go by, even after so many years: I'm too big a fan of Donald Sutherland/Tripp Darling!

The previous poster (bespoke suit) made me doubt, so I did a little research and found this article:

Just as I had always suspected, the red lapel thread represents the French Legion of Honor.

As you can see, this is much more than a fashion statement. :)
