I always figured he was inspired by Tom Wolfe, who always wore a white suit in public. Wolfe emerged in the sixties and wrote novels about the counter culture movement. Job's references to things like 'the whole earth catalog' and other 60s icons always seem to point to his style.

- 9999 15y agoThis interview from Fresh Air on NPR is really excellent: http://www.npr.org/2011/08/12/139383916/tom-wolfe-chronicling-countercultures-acid-test http://www.npr.org/2011/08/12/139383916/tom-wolfe-chroniclin... Wolfe explains why he wore the suit and how it worked in practice when touring around with Kesey. Really great.
