Copeland models futuristic arthritis suit

DAPPER draper Louis Copeland yesterday donned a €30,000 suit — and found it a painful experience.

The Fashion guru was suited up by Ireland rugby star Shane Horgan. Louis wanted to replicate how it feels to be one of the 400,000 people with crippling osteoarthritis.

“I wore the suit for less than an hour and I could already feel it beginning to dominate my activity and hinder my efforts to do my work. Never mind using a scissors to cut a bit of cloth, simply walking up the stairs in our shop left me in serious difficulty,” he said.
