Jerry B. Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just bought this amazing blazer for little money on ebay. The item is new with tags. It reminds me a lot of the ones used in season one. I used to have one like that in the 80s, And I sold it, along with a lot of Vice-like stuff. Shame on me. But thanks God, i Had a second chance, this one has the 80s cut and look. Sorry for the bad pic, if requested I'll post better ones. Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Great Jerry - with your look & hair you look like a Season 4 Crockett Edited August 20, 2014 by Matt5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Nice....Jerry!.....I keep thinking you've posted a picture of Don Johnson. The jacket is a beauty. The only thing I would wear different is a Tee shirt with a little more contrast, like a pastel blue or aqua green. What you have is fine, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B. Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi guys, thank you for all your nice comments. Next time the dinner is on me ;-) Seriously, I don't think I look so close to DJ but I always thought I have something in common with the actor (more than with Sonny) maybe in the gesture or somthing like that. Matt, Don's look on Season 4 is my favorite! (along with Season 2). Tony D., I promise I will post my pics and not Don's hahahahah!!!! I agree about the t-shirt color. It's actually a bit more colored than in the pic, but I know what you mean ;-) A bit more about the blazer, in case someone is interested: the brand is Cubavera, which has some nice and Vicey stuff in its catalog. The shape is actually very tight, which allowed me to use this trick: I wear a medium size, but I bought a Large. Now it's at the tailor to have sleeves and height slightly adjusted. This way I have 80s shoulders and all the rest is regular. This is a trick I used since the early nineties, when the fashion was murdered... I will post some more pics as the blazer comes back.

Crockettt Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Jerry what do you think about this ? http://www.cubavera.com/suit-jacket/cotton-linen-herringbone-blazer/CFSJ0002DS.html?dwvar_CFSJ0002DS_color=100&start=5&cgid=cusuitseparatejackets&dwvar_CFSJ0002DS_size=S&srule=best-matches Does this blazer have Vice look ?

Jerry B. Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hey Crockettt, it looks like the one i bought: same kind of fabric and same green inner borders. Of course nowdays jackets and blazers don't even come close to the 80s cut. My Armani blazers used to have huge shoulders back then. When I was In Miami I searched in a lot of stores but no luck. By the way, this one could look fine using the trick I used. Since it's slim fit, if you buy a size over, you have larger shoulders without looking as if you were in your father's blazer :-) The price is not high so you can spend some extra money to have sleeves and lenght adjusted. At least, that's what I did. I will post pics as I have the jacket back from the tailor. Cheers ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B. Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey BlueAir, I thank you so much. Don is a charming guy and this kind of apprecciation is always pleasurable. Thanks again, pal. PS Take your blazer to the laundry and put it back on ;-) Next week I will have mine back and I will post some pics to show you the "size trick" better.

Viceguy Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 You look great! But in order to achieve that total retro look, you should be holding a car phone, not modern so-small-it painful to -see cell phone. Go for old-fashion masculine phone ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B. Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Sure man, but car phones don't take pictures ;-) PS I just realized I'm holding the cell as if it was a cop badge, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viceystyle Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I did take a look at your gallery, Jerry. You have some really nice pictures. I like the ones from your trip to Miami. The eighties might be gone, but at least the sunshine, the color, the tropical feel of the city is still there. Very nice! Also, I like your 1992 photo. Wow, you were a very good-looking man. I definitely see the resemblance to Sonny Crockett. I would love to see some more pictures from that era, you certainly lived the style very well!
