Hmm,like "Camilla,you're a dirty slut" ?...Did you know that when Alexander McQueen worked on Saville Row he sewed dirty words on the inside of Prince Charles's suits...
Let me start by mentioning that I too have 'discovered' the charm of a fancy-coloured lining. And yes, it puts a smile on my face. I therefore, wouldn't call it a dirty secret.No one would ever see the lining. The only benefit is that the customer knows it's there. It's like a dirty little secret that you can chuckle to yourself about.
Trivia: I just read about a man in New York City who has his suit jackets lined with Hermes scarves. At about $300 a pop this must be a costly way of lining a jacket.
I just saw that episode again the other night. This thread was reminding me of that as well. BradfordI just can't stop thinking of an episode of Seinfeld where George and Jerry meet Elaine's intimidating father at a restaurant.  Jerry has an expensive new suede jacket with pink and white striped lining.  When they leave, it's raining, so Jerry turns his coat inside out to protect the suede, but Elaine's father forces Jerry to put it on "right-side-out" if he wants to walk down the sidewalk with them.  haha   Anyway, to give my opinion... I think colored linings (especially alternating white/bright color stripes) are great.
I got a suit at WW Chan - chocolate brown, I've described it before. I had them use a bright red paisley lining. They clearly thought I was absolutely nuts, but gracious and accomodating nonetheless.An idea for you all: if you ever have a suit made in Hong Kong or Shanghai, ask your tailor to use some beautiful cheongsam / qipao printed silk for the lining. Â Absolutely stunning, but not for the faint-hearted. Â People too shy to wear pink shirts need not apply.
