If I did I would hang myself with it.


This overcoat went cheap.

I was watching that, and was rather disappointed that there was only one last-second bid-up (though mostly because I'm trying to save my pennies and wanted better justification for not bidding on it). The previous listing drew two bids for a total of 99¢. Suffice it to say, the reserve was not met

Yeah, I was thinking of bidding on it. Woulda fit me but something about it didn't look 'right'. It was probably the baggy cut that threw me off.

That's because it's from the 1920s.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Was a nice coat, though. I'll probably regret not taking a shot at it sometime around 17 December or so

Yeah. Shame about the massive moth damage.

 

[jamespowers]

Yeah. Shame about the massive moth damage.

Massive is probably an understatement but it could be used as a pattern I suppose. [huh]

 

[reetpleat]

Yeah, but for a pattern, all you really need is a jacket. pants can be any old pants, and a vest can be any old vest. Whoever bought this wanted the suit. maybe they live in Chile and can get repairs done cheap.

Viva "El Zurcidor Japones"! Since 1916! The best and cheapest reweavers imaginable.


Here's an article about its history. Hope y'all can read Spanish: http://diario.elmercurio.cl/detalle/index.asp?id={115f48a9-e283-46cf-9e15-6e97b51e7474}

Are they Japanese?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Are they Japanese?

No, they're Chilean. The business started out as a tailor shop. Then, early in its history, a tailor accidentally frayed a customer's jacket. Another tailor there --who happened to be Japanese-- took the jacket and rewove the damage beautifully. So impressive was his work that the shop's owner decided then and there to specialize in reweaving, rather than tailoring. More than 80 years later, it is a Chilean institution, used by generations of Santiago residents.
