My "Holy Grail" of sport jackets!

[Feraud]

As the title says I have been wanting a jacket in this pattern for a loooong time.
When Mk & Matt Deckard were last in NYC, the fellas went window shopping. I made a New Year's vow to spend less money this year and was sticking to it until I leaned on the sportsjacket rack..
Hard to see patch pockets.

Faux ticket pocket. Look at that pattern!

union label

the super cool lining.

I am done shopping for this year. No joke.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

Beautiful, Feraud. Is that Atomic Fleck early 50s?
How's it fit? Try it on. Relax a little.

 

[Feraud]

I am sure it is 50's. The fit is great. I wear the jacket but no one wants to take the picture. [huh]

 

[DOUGLAS]

Beautiful color and pattern Feraud.I 'm sure many different hat colors and styles will go well with it.

Faux ticket pocket.

Just the thing for the cultured NYer, who tells himself he should see this play or hear that concert, but is too jaded to actually book seats.

Looking forward to seeing it on.

That's an awesome jacket! Don't know what you paid, but you got an awesome deal.

I did not pay much at all. It is rare to get something cheap at Cheap Jacks!

Beautiful jacket sir! I have it's brother in black with red atomic fleck pattern. Goes well with a turtle neck sweater and a pipe and your well thumbed copy of the catalog from the latest show at the MOMA...

That was the 'Everything under $100 50% off day'. Never knew Jack to be so liberal with his prices. It was also 'Four men shopping for clothes and, oddly, not one one of them gay,' day.

Regards,

Jack

Good looking coat.....but please take it off that hideous neon green plastic hanger and put it on a proper wooden one.


We do have standards around here.


Cool coat my friend. I really enjoy your style. When we were all walking around together, I was admiring your look.....and your choice in reading material.

I couldn't pull off that color....but it works for you in spades. Post some pics of you in the new coat.

Great Pix

Looks like you boys had a hard day at the office...NOT!

Ah, atomic fleck! Looks too cool, Feraud. Would you believe I sold the heppest jacket, very similar to that one, to a buddy a year and a half ago, and I've regretted it ever since. (Don't ask about the pale lemon yellow jacket with brown and black flecks or the baby blue flecked jacket I also sold him - yeah, I'm still cryin'!)

What a cool bunch of cats!

You are a better friend than I would be!

... Would you believe I sold the heppest jacket, very similar to that one, to a buddy a year and a half ago, and I've regretted it ever since....

Would you believe I threw away two jackets and two overcoats like that in the late 80s during a house move - there wasn't enough wardrobe space in the new house, they were cheap when I bought them (I paid maybe £10 or £15 each for the jackets, £25 each for the coats), and I hadn't worn them for a few years, so out they went. I still get a sick feeling when I think of that.

But that's a beauty Feraud. Well done on finding it.

 

[Senator Jack]

The golden days of $1.00 suits. Who knew?

 

[Benny Holiday]

At least I didn't sell this one!

Sky blue with dark blue, white and black flecks. Eat yer heart out, Elvis and Jerry Lee! Big shoulders, trim waist, crazy patch pockets and no vent.
