TylerDurden389 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Alright, you guys have seen most of these clothes already, but I had them all altered to fit me better. The green pants are new. They may look baggy/wide, but trust me when I say that they were twice as wide before having them tapered (and hemmed). With all the sweating I do, I prefer them looser anyway. The first striped jacket was a little too big on me, so despite having it for over 2 years now, I've finally had the sleeves shortened, tapered, and also had the jacket made slimmer (as I've done with another vintage jacket once before). The bright blue jacket I had the sleeves shortened a bit. The other pants have all been hemmed. I'm thinking of having the sleeves shortened on the second striped jacket, as the cuffs do go over a bit more of my hands than they should.

TylerDurden389 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Alright, I've been watching this one on ebay for a while now and I figure I'd get the general consensus on it. This seller sells A LOT of jackets that he advertises as "Miami Vice style" and not all of them fit the bill. Plus he almost never has anything that fits me. However, this one *might* be a good catch. Only thing stopping me is that the material looks like it might be heavy, as I've bought jackets very similar to this before, tried them on once, and then immediately gave to Goodwill when I realized they didn't either look like the pics advertised, and they were too heavy in material (again, living in Florida, I want lightweight jackets). I don't wanna make this mistake a 3rd or 4th time (I can't keep track anymore, lol) but at the same time I can't deny that I really like this pattern. Truth be told, I now have 2 or 3 gray jackets that are close to this, but they never have the 80's "flecked" pattern that I'm still trying to pin down. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364123779377 Edited March 19, 2023 by TylerDurden389 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though she didn’t pursue that career, she learned pattern-making and tailoring and made clothes for the family for many years including full suits for my father and fitted shirts for me. It was at least partly because my father and I are very tall, 6-3 and 6-7. She also taught me some basics of alteration and repair though I seldom do so as I dress very casually in general. This appears to be a fully lined jacket which will be hotter than unlined jackets or even quarter or half lined versions. The outside material is only part of the equation for how warm a jacket is. Many jacket linings are acetate fabric which is a synthetic and non-breathable… meaning hot, rendering the exterior fabric choice almost meaningless. Wool is breathable, but not with an acetate lining. Ask if the lining is Bemberg, a type of cotton. That will be cooler. A linen jacket with a synthetic lining will actually be hotter than a wool jacket with a Bemberg lining. A full polyester suit will help you lose weight from all the sweating! Edit: This might help. https://www.tailoronten.com/blogs/news/3401262-bemberg-the-king-of-linings Edited March 19, 2023 by pahonu 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDurden389 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Another great Vice looking jacket that's sadly too big for me (I used to have one exactly like this a very long time ago, but alas, that was too big too).

I might want one too Also, the tilt of your wayfarers looks a little more agressive that mine, do you know if it has something to do with the year of fabrication ? Do you have more information about the pair you have ? And how did you make this 80s picture effect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really into this type of jacket because here where I live the weather is not always "miami" so this fashion pieces really interests me in the colder days Hi Kalci I never had this one in the picture but I had one in the same style but mine was more heavy duty like Arnies in the terminator but the same style. I wore mine as a ring entry part of my costume with long black boots and no shirt with some black Gargoyle sunglasses when I was wrestling here. lol. Mine was too heavy really for general wear as it was really for riding a motorbike to protect you if you fell off (which I did not even have) lol. The one in the picture looks more like a fashion piece lighter weight so better for everyday wear. They can look fantastic if you can pull off the look. I like it myself. They are not so warm but will keep the wind out and the rain at bay. I would say that this one looks light enough to wear most days with a t shirt.

I know this site but personally, I don't trust it. There are no photos of the jacket they want to sell so it is suspicious. Anyway, you can find a similar type of jacket if you are looking for a "perfecto". This motorcycle jacket wouldn't let you down, they are build like tanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalci Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) @Gangrel @Kladdagh Thank you guys I am really into it. Yeah this site not even shows pics of the actual product so I am not going to go with this one. Rather try to find a similarly light model here in the EU. Lets see what I can find. @MichaelAce Yes its working. Its a second generation network(2G) capaple phone and was build for the GSM standard(Global Standard for Mobile Communication) It uses GSM 900Mhz band for communication which is still alive in most of the European countries in Africa and If I remember well also in Asia. BUT not in the US. In the early 90s there was a "fight" between EU and US standards and the US went with other digital(2G) cellular communication standards so they never standardized the GSM 900. Nowdays the bigger challenge is to get one with a working battery. All these old bricks came with a NiCd that are notorious for not holding charge.
