Following its success, David August Heil – a close friend of McGregor – made the eye-catching pinstripe suit available to buy for a whopping £5,000.
The A-List tailor has now revealed that he has turned part of the now iconic outfit into a face mask to battle coronavirus.
He has designed a range of cloth face masks, which he is selling for an eye-watering £157 each.
His website claims that he will give five medical masks to “hard-hit hospitals and clinics” for every cloth mask he sells.
August posted a selfie of himself wearing the unique clothing protection on Instagram alongside the caption while revealing work has already started on more.
He wrote: “Fresh new David August Couture design. 20 more patterns in work now. Beautifully handcrafted, perfectly fitted, 3 ply thickness, removable filter, & washable. ”
The “F*** You” mask went down a storm on social media, with McGregor himself replying: “Hahaha need.”
Fans also weighed in to ask where they could purchase the item, with one commenting: “Love this David #trendsetter.”
Another said: “Put one aside for me please.”
McGregor’s brazen suit was the standout outfit as part of the UFC star’s clothing range with Heil that he launched back in October 2018.
Heil is one of Hollywood’s most sought-after tailors, having been in the business since 1989 and dressed some of the world’s most famous stars.
Arnold Schwarzennegger, Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr, Kobe Bryant, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett are just a few A-listers who have turned up on a red carpet in a David August suit.

McGregor’s “F*** You” suit was a particular highlight of his memorable build-up to his fight against Mayweather – which the American won to extend his record to 50-0.
The duo have since been rumoured to be set for a rematch but the boxing legend has poured cold water on the idea that he would face the Irishman again.
In an Instagram Live video during a recent training session, Mayweather called out his rival as he commented that McGregor “Didn’t want this.”
