Description: For Your Consideration: Item: Vintage Bespoke 1970s Suede Jacket “Blazer”—Men’s Medium—Groovy Country Western Disco vibe—Incredibly Thick, Heavy—Made in Mexico? LABEL SIZE: There are no tags of any kind on this garment but we guess it to be a “Medium” (based on our size of 6’1” height / 185 pounds / long arms—on us, the chest is a bit tight & the arms are about an inch short) OUR APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS (IN INCHES) (ONE SIDE ONLY):Pit to Pit: 21.50Shoulder (Top Seam to Top Seam): 18.50Arm Length (Shoulder Top Seam to Cuff End): 24.50Length / Height: (Collar Bottom Seam to Tail): 31.50 CONDITION: VERY GOOD. Light smudging & scuffing, but this vintage beauty has no flagrant flaws: No holes or stains. No fraying. All the (suede-covered!) buttons are attached. Silk (?) lining has a few smudges but no holes. SUMMARY: The photos can’t do justice to the heft of this jacket. It is the thickest, heaviest suede we’ve ever felt—sturdy enough for wrestling bulls. We’re guessing this artifact was custom-made in Mexico for a Los Angeles private eye or the foreman at John Fogerty’s ranch—but we could be wrong about that. In any case, this is an instance where a high-end label isn’t needed to establish quality or style. SUMMARY, PART II: One of a kind? FEATURES: Two buttons on front; 2 hip pockets & 1 chest pocket (each with a button). 1 interior (open) pocket. 11-inch vent on back. FABRIC: No labels but this jacket is clearly made with 100% suede (very thick). MADE IN: Mexico? No labels—but that’s our guess. (Due to the extra-thickness of the suede—not an American trait that we’re familiar with.) (And though the disco Western look of the 1970s was popular in the USA, it was also popular in Mexico.) CIRCA: 1970s The WAY of FLAPPINCAT: We treat customers as we ourselves like to be treated. That means, we do our utmost to be accurate & trustworthy. Also: We are truly grateful for your business. Thank you!
