I picked up a really unique, really nice, really vintage RL sport coat this morning. I love it and it fits me like a dream, but a friend of mine took one look at it and insisted that I had picked up a woman's jacket by mistake. She says that the fit is too tailored looking. I explained that that's how vintage is supossed to fit, but she says there's just something else about it.
That being said, there are some interesting features on this jacket that fog clarification of the men's style...first of all, the sleeves are cuffed (like pant cuffs).
It is a one-button jacket with the button on the LEFT. Is this a possible sign of feminine influence? Or is it simply a less common feature? I don't know anything about women's suits so I've not the slightest.
The tag on the inside says "8". Is this a women's size?
Please help me figure it out. Because if I were to strut around town wearing a woman's jacket I don't know if I could live with myself.
If it looks like a women's suit to some people I could care less. But if it actually is, well...
If it is a woman's jacket it has very heavy masculine features...huge shoulders, men's drape, double vents in the back, really beefy lapels and a golden "old sailor man" button.
I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow if you think it would help.
Please help me out. Ty.
