Sean “Diddy” Combs shows some inventiveness in a custom-made peak-lapeled suit made of a material Izzy has never seen before, black and white seersucker (a word, incidentally, that derives from the Hindi “shir shakkar,” meaning “milk and sugar”; like the fabric’s alternating stripes, milk is smooth, while sugar is rough). While Izzy can tolerate such flamboyance in an entertainer, Diddy’s untucked t-shirt, by sloppily peeking out below the jacket, ruins the whole outfit.
I like the fabric and I like the idea of the contrast – but I’m not sure I like the “V” effect…

It’s a nice suit and I totally agree about the t-shirt. Try as he might he is never going to be too much of a fashion icon until he learns to close his mouth. He must be a mouth breather because he almost never is photographed with it closed.
