Some suits are born great, and some have greatness thrust upon them, and Bull & Bear sommelier Dan Loughlin’s new whistle falls into the latter category, though that might depend a bit on your allegiance. A tweet of Dan’s suit went viral this week, thanks to its inventive lining.
Dan has had two beloved Manchester United kits from his childhood incorporated into the suit that he wears for work at the restaurant, on the ground floor of the plush Stock Exchange Hotel, owned by former United stars Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs.
“The red one, I’ll have been nine when they won the Champions League final in 1999, so that was the winner’s kit, when they won the treble,” he told the Manchester Evening News. “The other was a hand me down from my brother, because Cantona was his favourite player.”
