In 1967 this guy was a member of a showband that played their final gig in Dublin Ireland in April of that year.The band played in white three piece suits.After the final gig the 8 suits were sent to the cleaners as usual to be cleaned and pressed for the next gig.But alas the suits went into a wardrobe in a house in Swords Dublin for the next 50 years.BUT then faith decided to play a part.The owner of the house got a burst pipe and sent for the plumber.When the plumber was moving the wardrobe to fix the burst pipe noticed the white suits and inquired if the suits were for sale.The owner of the house was delighted when the deal was struck ,a free fixed pipe and 300 quid in his back pocket.The plumber took the 8 white suits to a suits for hire shop and sold them for 800 quid.The suits were then sent to the cleaners once again to be pressed and cleaned again.
The suits then went to the city of London to a well know suits for hire shop.The 8 white suits can be hired for a night for a small price of 560 quid per night for glamorous parties and now have bookings every night of the week for the foreseeable future with a three month waiting list.moral of this story"you never know what you have in your wardrobe that may be valuable ..
