Move over, Michelle. Another Obama is becoming a style-setter.
Sen. Barack Obama will wear a custom-made Hart Schaffner Marx suit (left) when he accepts the Democratic nomination in Denver on Thursday night.
The two-button suit is made of solid navy and worsted wool, with pleated pants that have an inch and a quarter cuffs.
"It's a flattering fit and has a soft drape, and the material has a nice feel against the skin," says Lisa Wells, director of public relations for Hickey Freeman, a subsidiary of Hartmarx Corporation (nyse: HMX - news - people )--formerly Hart, Schaffner & Marx. "The silhouette is a classic fit; he's a 40 long with a 33-inch waist."
The Hart Schaffner Marx team personally tailored Obama in Chicago.
"Hart Schaffner Marx had appointments with him in the past for fittings that had been canceled when he was on the campaign trail," says Wells "I guess they finally caught up with each other now that he was home before the convention."
The suit would retail at department stores such as Nordstrom (nyse: JWN - news - people ) for $1,500.
