(LM: This is creepy in so many ways…the son of a dead dictator wearing Dad's suits, now selling them...yeah, there's a used suit I want to buy..serious alterations would be required...)

From BBC News:

Clothing once belonging to the late Augusto Pinochet, the former Chilean military leader, have been put up for sale by his son, reports say.

The suits and jackets were worn by Pinochet from the 1980s until he died last year, Augusto Pinochet Hiriart told La Tercera newspaper.

The suits were for everyday use, not ceremonies, said Mr Pinochet Hiriart.

More than 3,000 people were killed or "disappeared" during Gen Pinochet's rule from 1973 to 1990.

The suits are being sold from a tailor's shop in central Santiago for more than $2,000 each, La Tercera said.

"All I can say is that these suits are used, including by myself. My father gave them to me a long time ago," the late dictator's son said.
