Menswear expert Derek Guy passed judgement on Nigel Farage’s jacket – and he wasn’t the only one
On Monday, Nigel Farage continued his campaign ahead of the general election with a talk outside the Great Danes Hotel in Kent.
Here’s the Reform UK owner/leader wending his way through the vibrant young diverse crowd of supporters on his way to talk about immigration for an hour and rant about how everyone who criticises him is against free speech. Probably.

Farage’s outfit reminded people of one or two things, and they weren’t afraid to share them.
These were popular.

Menswear expert and internet legend Derek Guy got involved,and he kept it all very professional and design-specific.
Look at this ugly pattern drafting. Most tailored jackets have a dart that runs from your ribcage to your hip pocket. This one has been placed so that the stripe disappears mid-chest, which is distracting and ugly. Compare it to the grey double-breasted by Steed. No disruption. pic.twitter.com/ZosYEwxEL4

We think Farage got off very lightly there, but the reactions might have added insult to injury …or the other way around.

If you think that jacket’s distracting and ugly, just wait until you meet the thing inside it. https://t.co/QYOJAjuSSt

I have no idea who the white suit guy is, so I can say without bias that his jacket does look weird, like notebook paper with uneven blue lines https://t.co/HQ5bIERr4w

Maybe it's to allow for the extra stretch required raising the right arm.

For some reason, Nigel Farage tried to dress like a 1920s prohibition era gangster but ended up looking like a lecherous insurance salesman

That missing stripe wanted nothing to do with Farage. Same, stripe. Same.

Not just a twat, but a twat with poor tailoring too. https://t.co/FuCiIyfR9y

So, it's a cheap jacket that won't cost much to replace after it has been milkshaked? https://t.co/QQo7kZ1E08
— CaptainSwing666 Rejoiner and proud of it. (@CaptainSwing666) June 25, 2024
We’d love to know what Derek thinks of this.
If Nigel Farage is so bothered about statues of Edward Colston, why doesn't he invite some to come and live with him? #GoodMorningBritain pic.twitter.com/FbXLt2SLdk
