Second Hand Shopping

Tweed Blazer

Dad's finest? Now it's mine :-)

Hi guys.
Here another one of my second hand/vintage treasures.

I got this tweet, hounds-tooth sports jacket in brown/beige tones, of my Dad.
I think it is approx 30 years old and its still immaculate considering my Dad wore it and now I do.

great craftsmen ship, check out the lining and stitching

The blazer is 60% wool and 40% polyester, the lining is 100% viscose and needs to brought to a dry cleaner please.

Also because of the suede leather patches.

leather patches sooo in

Check out the detailing again suede leather patches and leather button at the front and the cuffs and the supporting fleece under the collar.

Not sure how much my Dad paid for it back then, but I guess it shows that quality is worth spending money on.
Surely one doesn't want every single item in ones wardrobe to last 30-40 years, but this one is and was definitely a keeper.

Of course it looks the best when worn,  thanks to my model  too ;-)

Because it's so easy to combine with shirts, fine knit jumpers, long sleeves, t's, in almost any color makes it so much fun to wear.

A little tip, go for a color that goes with your eye color because it'll help you to let your eye's stand out more since the jacket is quite plain color wise.

Pair it even with a dark brown, burgundy or mustard and for the spring time maybe a baby blue.

Ok enough for this time, thanks for stopping by.

Until next time.

Thanks,
