"He was so excited" - David August sheds light on unveiling the iconic "F**k You" suit to Conor McGregor for the first time
In the build-up to his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor was seen wearing an extremely unique suit - one which had the expletive "f**k you" embroidered into the fabric in a pinstripe pattern.
Given his brash personality and the verbal barrage he launched at Mayweather, the suit was perfect for the man who donned it.
Recently, David August, the man behind the company that created the suit for 'The Notorious', spoke on how McGregor reacted when he showed the Irishman the suit for the first time.
August, who made an appearance on a podcast with YouTuber Rich Somers, said:
"He [McGregor] says, 'What should I wear next?' I said, 'Well, you can wear any of those four, or you can wear this.' I pulled out the suit, the 'F you' suit. He said, 'That's just a basic pinstripe,' and I said, 'No, look closely.' And he looked, he said, 'Gimme that suit,' grabbed it from me, we put it on him, and [McGregor] was so excited. He said, 'This is the greatest suit ever, when should I wear it,' and we talked about it a little bit. We said, 'Look, if you're going to wear it, you've got to wear it today.'"
