Mubarak had name stitched into suit stripes

By IANS,

London : Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak had his name stitched into the stripes of swanky custom-made suits for around 10,000 pounds per suit.

Magnified pictures in The Sun revealed tiny white letters spelling out “Hosny Mubarak” – an alternative spelling of the former president’s name – over and over again to form the vertical stripes.

According to cloth maker Holland & Sherry, from London’s Savile Row, the stripes may have cost around 10,000 pounds per suit.

The company said it must have taken around three months to weave the fabric.

Mubarak stepped down Feb 11 after around 300 people died in anti-government protests, and moved to the resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
