OUSTED Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak had his name stitched into the pinstripe of a swanky suit, these amazing magnified pictures reveal.

By zooming in on snaps of the fallen leader, you can just make out the detail hidden in his custom fabric.
Tiny white letters spell out "Hosny Mubarak", an alternative spelling of the billionaire former dictator's name, over and over again to form the vertical stripe.

This snap was taken just before he resigned on February 11, following 18 days of violent unrest sparked by anti-government protesters.
According to posh cloth maker Holland & Sherry, based in London's prestigious Savile Row, the bespoke pinstripe may have cost around £10,000 per suit.
The company, whose clients include royalty, captains of industry and top celebs, added it would have taken around three months to weave the fabric.
