Suits Are Better Tech Than Modern Clothes
A new essay argues that the classic tailored suit represents lost technical craftsmanship compared with contemporary clothing. The piece contends that traditional suiting incorporates engineering solutions — structured construction, durable materials, adaptable fit — that mass-produced modern garments lack. Readers on Hacker News are debating whether the claim holds up, with some praising traditional tailoring and others calling the comparison romanticised.
Why now: The essay sparked a debate about whether older clothing technology was actually superior to modern garments.
