Fruit of the Loom Has Created a Sweatpant…Formal Suit?

If this was a thing five years ago, would we all still be working remotely from home?

Fruit of the Loom did a collaboration with a designer overseas to create an “athletic formal suit.” And it’s a cross between SWEATPANTS…and a SUIT.

It comes in black and navy, and at first glance it looks like a relaxed suit, similar to a men’s cardigan, but it’s made from 100% cotton “t-shirt fabric.”

Fruit of the Loom says it’s a “unique balance, the cozy comfort of a premium sweatshirt, but retaining the heavy, elegant drape of a traditional formal suit.” It’s two pieces: A double-breasted jacket, and two-pleat pants, so it’s a “jacket and slacks.”

Unfortunately, it’s only available in Japan right now, although they are taking pre-orders, and some reports say they ship worldwide. It’s also not as cheap as Fruit of the Loom undergarments. This “suit” will set you back around $160.
