Hey hey guys!
So, as I was thrifting the other day I went to the jacket sections, and for once I felt one that felt good. And when I picked it up, it looked about right, so I gave it a try. Walked to a mirror, sipped my arm down, it felt good then. The shoulder came right up, I reached back and put on the other, and shrugged my shoulders.
I pulled smartly on it and looked up. It was a very light (weight), blue jacket. The shoulders were heavily padded though, and it broke it for me.
I didn't get it. But, it got me thinking, I don't know anything about the decent thrift suits. I mean, sure if I came across an Isaiah, I'd recognize, and other such things.
But, I'm in Iowa (Iowa City, University of Iowa), it's mostly old sears and jc penneys stuff. Or, it's suits from Men's Stores from the different towns. Which have some solid material, but nothing real amazing.
So, I guess what I'm asking, are there any really common brands in a place like this that are worth getting altered?
Cheers!
