Hunter S. Thompson Patchwork Jacket

[Indy Magnoli]

Love it or hate it... it is what it is. This is the second of these we've made, just didn't get a chance to photograph the first one:

Enjoy!

Kind regards,
Magnoli

My Love-Hate relationship with The Gonz allows this jacket to fall on the hate side. Sorry!

 

[Fiver64]

Gotta side with Papa..........

Excellent workmanship, and certainly unusual, but where would you ever wear this?????? Reminds me of the "Partridge Family" bus!

Casually when you can't decide what color to wear....

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Casually when you can't decide what color to wear....

Ha! Yeah, it goes with everything!

Kind regards,
Indy

 

[Fiver64]

I neeeeeeeed more!

Ha! Yeah, it goes with everything!

Kind regards,
Indy

Well, yes, I'll give you that Indy!!! Just out of curiousity........... are jackets like this ordered for regular, everyday wear, or do the buyers have a specific purpose? I mean, I could see a flashy car salesman, eccentric media personality or someone truly attempting to draw attention to themselves, but having a hard time coming up with much more for the average Joe!

Can you enlighten my weary mind????

 

[BellyTank]

It would go really nicely with socks and sandals.

Eye-catching

All I can say is, I'm glad he wasn't wearing it when I met him, I might have been scarred by the experience...nice work though from a historical perspective!

 

[Indy Magnoli]

All I know is that both guys I made these for both seem to be Hunter fans. I know one of them is a member here.

Kind regards,
Indy

patchwork loveliness!

I love it ... and would buy it and wear it if it could be 'aged' from purchase - faded, stonewashed, whatever the term is.... but then I live in London where this is barely eccentric!

It wouldn't get a second glance in NYC.[huh]

 

[Johnnynotoes]

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or this jacket to anyone, but they've always worked for him.

We can do that...

Kind regards,

aged in malt

Perhaps a couple of weeks in a washing machine full of bourbon and used .45 shell casings would do the job required......

Just another freak, in the freak kingdom....

I'll own up

Alright, it's my jacket. I asked Indy to make this jacket because I am a big fan of Hunter Thompson and to be completely honest, a bigger fan of the original jacket.
I wanted to wait for the jacket to arrive before I posted on the board so I could see how it turned out. Indy sent a few pics of the jacket when it was done, but I really wanted to try it on and get an up close look at it before I commented.
Now that the jacket is here, I am truly impressed by Magnoli Clothiers work. This was my first order with Magnoli and honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect.
I certainly will not have a problem ordering from Indy or recommend him.
FYI: Yes, I certainly will be wearing this out and about. In my town (Asheville, NC.) If you aren't weird, you stick out.

confessions...........

Takes a real man to step up to the plate and take a jacket like that for the team! :eusa_clap Indy's work is very good..... I had an Open Road from MC. I'm sure there are folks out there who look at such a display of "colorful individuality" more reasonable than others who wear painted A-2s with naked chicks and swastika tallies! Not me................... but others!

I thought Hunter was the American nightmare... It actually reminds me of the costume worn by Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor Who.
