A Decotex Polyester Suit? It's Madness!

Banner Box was set a rather unusual challenge this summer by local man, Alvey Howghton. Mr Howghton was due to get married at the end of the summer and was looking for help in printing a suitable fabric material for his wedding suit.

Mr Howghton & his bride-to-be are both huge fans of the group Madness, and were given the idea by the video to the Madness song, (Waiting for the)Ghost Train. In the video, the band don white suits, covered with black newsprint. This inspired Mr Howghton to have a similar suit for his fast-approaching wedding day.

Banner Box helped draw up the newsprint graphic, which was then printed onto our Decotex polyester material, which a local tailor was then able to manufacture into a made-to-measure finished suit.

The job was finished in time for the big day, and created quite a striking effect. Banner Box would like to offer our congratulations to Mr & Mrs Howghton.
