Ike & Tina sculpture. Of course I was drawn to the clothing. His zoot suit and her fur are just amazing. Not to mention his boots!!

The Masters Jacket

P1210732
Aside from the many trips my father would take us to Tom Mitchells I think the only time I’ve swung a proper golf club was in 12th Grade at NEw Haven Hebrew Day School where golf was offered as an elective. That was pretty crazy for a Yeshiva and I was thrilled. Unfortunately we never made it to any greens. But this jacket… I have always loved the security guards and their attire at stores like Lionel Kiddie City , Radio Shack or Toys R Us. The burgandy or grey blazer that is made of polyester you can spot 100 ft away… When i began thinking about making clothes I would dream of making this sportcoat in a fine wool, yet still oversized with cheap shiny buttons. That wore off and all I can think about making now is this green version of the same blazer. This guy was wearing it on a casual weekday walking the streets of Manhattan. I love the idea of wearing the navy blazer look (khakis too short, brooks brothers oxford & Bucs) in a odd color like green. And the fact that its THE masters jacket makes it not just security guy or idiot in a navy blazer but a new take on a classic. I think J Press or Hickey Freeman used to make them but today I have only seen them at Mens Wearhouse or other cheezy stores.
Make it & Make one for me!
