Jackets: Old, New and Owned

August 3, 2008 by WendyB

Someone needs to buy me this ’60s printed leather and denim jacket by Cavalli.
$645 at Swank Vintage

Speaking of jackets, Under the Stares is yet another blogger who is yearning for a marching band/military-type jacket. For her, my fellow Adam Ant fan, If You’re Into It, found this Converse by John Varvatos jacket.

$795 at 80spurple.com

Blogger Hannah at Hello Mr Fox found a vintage band-style jacket in pink, but you can’t have it — it’s hers!

If you can’t find a jacket that you like, think about a pair of sexy, marching-band boots instead.

Pleaser Boots
$56 at SMBoots.com

Speaking of bands, the worst band pun I’ve seen in a while is “Here Comes the Son” for a fashion spread featuring the late Beatle George Harrison’s lookalike son, Dhani. How many times are we going to be subjected to that groaner now that Dhani has an album out? Thanks to blogger Le Fashion for bringing this to my attention (even if she was more interested in model Sasha).

    The 2nd jacket makes me think of a hoodie by Mike & Chris…I think. Not sure. They're all very Coldplay, aren't they?

    Dhani looks just like his dad, it’s making me sad! Because his publicist shouldn’t have approved that hideous title!

  14. WendyB says

    August 4, 2008 at 8:33 am

    Herald, the publicist doesn’t have the last word, unfortunately.

    I love the military look. I have a military style jacket but it’s cropped and I don’t really like the way it looks on me.

    I’d love to get a longer one…that John Varvatos one is awesome!

    I also bought a military pin from ebay that I like to wear on hats and blazers.

  25. WendyB says

    August 4, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    Mahalo Jen, get rich, for God’s sake! What are you waiting for?
