Anyone have the picture...?

[Jerekson]

Hey fellas:

I remember seeing a picture of Howard Hughes wearing a really cool jacket. It was a picture of him stepping onto a dock...perhaps after exiting the HK-1? It's a pretty famous picture, but I can't find it.

I want to get a jacket like this; but before I start searching, I need a good reference picture.

Anyone?

Thanks-

J

You're welcome.

It's a Hollywood jacket. Good luck finding one.

You never cease to amaze me, Scotrace.

Uh...thanks.

Didn't Hemmingway Jones get a Hollywood jacket made in that style?

The name for the shirt-collared sport jacket - mostly forgotten now - is loafer jacket.

A Hollywood (according to the above reffed thread) means a loafer that is two-tone, with its own belt.

So HH was close. (Maybe it's a "Long Beach" jacket! )

Often a piece of old style clothing comes back into the picture, but its name has been lost or changed.
