Ha, yes, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with drinking cocktails on a yacht (as long as it's not the royal yacht) I will be drinking cocktails by the beach in Cyprus soon, unfortunately any kind of jacket will be virtually out of the question.Personally, I rather like the white buttons (but i would be trying to look like I was drinking cocktails on a yacht - in fact, right now, I wish I was drinking cocktails on a yacht!)
Personally, I rather like the white buttons (but i would be trying to look like I was drinking cocktails on a yacht - in fact, right now, I wish I was drinking cocktails on a yacht!). I would think that a light tan button with a little bit of a swirl in it would work well.
P.S. That jacket is rather nice.
Gentlemen, checking through the back posts on this thread, I am astounded at the 50s jackets and the radical atomic fleck and innovative pseudo tweed fabrics back then. I used to own some in the 80s, which I bought for very little as a student, but invariably traded them in for 20s and 30s outfits. Little did I know.
I am surprised that nobody has thought to dig out the patents for the atomic fleck weave, or the patterns, at least, and make some up. I would imagine that the materials are still available, and there ought to be a market for a few jackets -- would Magnoli be interested? Is it possible that the bold tweeds and atomic fleck were not thought of as terribly high class in their day? And hence the lack of interest?
I ask this because having searched all the companies who remake vintage clothes I have not been able to find one that sells new atomic fleck or the bold tweed designs.
