The gangster stripe

One of our clients mentioned that the wider the stripe of the suit, the more senior the member was in the "organization". Pin stripes are for foot soldiers. I have no idea if that is true as Al Capone was not a client of ours, but we found this denim chalk stripe from Caccioppoli rather fetching, and yes, it had to be double breasted with five inch wide lapels to give it a slightly retro look, perfect for the Goodwood Revival (Cadillac optional).
And yes, the stripes on the collar and lapels match on both sides.
