I've been on a tear lately...at Value Village, of all places. MY local VV's are a wasteland as a rule, but in the past week, I've found the following:
1.. Brooks Brothers navy Brooksease suit coat that will soon become a blazer, courtesy of brass buttons, $7.99, 2 button, center vent, great condition
2.. Solid black wool Stafford suit, 1992 production date ( I work in a funeral home so a black suit is actually appropriate daywear for me) $11.99, 2 button, pleated and cuffed trousers
3.. navy windowpane wool/poly blend suit, some made-up Italian-sounding brand name, $8.00, 2 button, pleated and cuffed trousers
4..2 pairs of wool trousers, one mushroom in color, the other charcoal, both made in Canada, both $5.99
I also found an online source for novelty blazer buttons...I was looking for skull and crossbones and found a place with multiple colors of enamel backgrounds, so I think I'm going to buy a couple of sets...I have 6 navy blazers and I could shake things up a bit with oddball buttons.
