A movie based on a famous novel by Sloan Wilson, 'The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit' was released in 1956. It also explored the theme of a booming economy, fuelled by a rat race, which threatened the delicate thread of family ties, as well as the trauma carried over from WWII. Is a flannel suit still a fashion today?
The movie also introduced us to the character Tom Rath, the original man in the gray flannel suit, who like several other men in the 1950s had various pairs of the quintessential flannel suit that was the beacon of the homogenous business culture of the time.
