what does "Shell"mean? what does “Shell suits”mean? 【“You’re telling me Deeby Macc knows where Tansy Bestigui was when Lula Landry died?” “No, of course he bloody doesn’t, he was in Barrack. I want to know what clothes he got sent on from Kentigern Gardens to Claridges. Specifically, what stuff he got from Guy Somé.” Strike did not pronounce the name Ghee for Wardle. “You want…why?” “Because one of the runners on that CCTV footage was wearing one of Deeby’s sweatshirts.” Wardle’s expression, arrested for a moment, relapsed into exasperation. “You see that stuff everywhere,” he said after a moment or two. “That GS stuff. Shell suits. Trackies.”

The shell suit was basically a shiny tracksuit. Definition on internet: A descendant of the tracksuit, the shell suit, which arrived in the late 1980s, was popular with the hip hop and breakdancing scene of the era. They were manufactured from a mix of cellulose triacetate and polyester making them shiny on the outside, with distinctive combinations of colours.
