Franken-jacket!

There's a scene in Blowdry, the same writer who did The Full Monty, where Alan Rickman's son dyes the sheep rainbow colors. Perhaps it's a movie prop.

ay carumba!

Apparently it's caused by the white balance on the camera [ according to the seller]

 

[Roughwear]

I think the seller has over-priced the jacket and the green shade from the camera is not going to appeal to many out there. :roll:

punks ?

punks ?

True.

Well Andrew, at least it's got DOT zippers (or at least the pullers), that alone should appeal to you!

 

[Roughwear]

The Dot main zip is a replacement and although I like them I will pass on this ugly jacket.

There were no takers for it an its back on with an OTT BIN.

Spot on Rich, although it could make £3 on a good day. Its just a pile junk (apart form the Dot zip!) The seller is clueless. Despite being told otherwise he still claims its early 20th century and that the zips are all original to the jacket! The Dot main zip is a replacement and its newer white thread is obvious depite what the seller says. The jacket dates from the late 1940s/early 50s and decent examples sell for around £100.
