Those who follow UFC will likely recall the suit worn by Conor McGregor in the promotional tour for the fight between him and Floyd Mayweather, and now the David August F*ck You Pinstripe Suit is available for purchase. The three-piece suit is navy in color and features a simple pinstripe design that covers the entire exterior space of the suit which has a somewhat staggered look from afar. It's only upon closer inspection that the pinstripes are revealed to be a series of the tiny words "F*ck You" written over and over in order to create the pattern.

The David August F*ck You Pinstripe Suit might be offensive on closer inspection, but boasts a stylish aesthetic thanks to silk lining, hand-stitched detailing and much more.
