Run with the Bulls wearing a Suit

The custom of dressing in white and red during the San Fermin is not that old. The tradition of wearing a red scarf is though and it was in the early XIX century were the habit of wearing white clothing started to spread.  

In old photographs about the running of the bulls we see young men running wearing a suit or a black blouse and espadrilles. It is so because they were wearing their best clothes in the patron saint festivities.

Run

In the present days, an American group of runners participating on the Running of the Bulls when the Miura Livestock is due (known for being the fastest ones) they decided to start wearing suits like in the old tradition. As they say, out of respect for the bulls.
