RECOGNIZE THIS BLAZER?? (how to build your own blazer!)

[COOPER&BURNETT]

All that's needed now is adding the blazer buttons!

[COOPER&BURNETT]

It still actually differs from the original, as the original had a "belt" the back, that helped with the pleated back for comfort.The originals lapels are a different.The original has slightly thinner stripes.The original has patch pockets. I'd need to have another of these shirts to make the front pockets, but there were none left.The original has a chest pocket like the one on my shirt, but the difference is mine is a patch pocket, the original has a chest pocket, but it's a slit opening, and the pocket is sewn inside the jacket like most blazers.The design is very close, and the sleeves can easily roll up like the original.

I'm sorry Wilson, I didn't mean to pal.

One thing I forgot to mention (if you too decide to do this with a shirt sometime yourself) is to get a size larger than you would normally wear.It's not to be worn as a shirt, but OVER a shirt, like an unlined blazer.When I first was interested in it, I intended to wear it as a shirt. I can wear size large, however, it was a rather large size LARGE. It was just too big.When I brainstormed, and thought about making it a blazer, I thought it all out in the store and how I was going to do it if it would work.So, if you do this, make sure you get a size larger than you would normally wear to make sure it fits over a t-shirt.-COOP

I'm flabbergasted!!! Turning a shirt into a Sonny Crockett blazer.You should sell them , Coop!BTW - Could you tell us the price of the shirt?

[COOPER&BURNETT]

Marked down price, $49.00. Not sure what full price was. $80.00 - $100 +??It was made VERY well. It's a heavy weave soft cotton (may as well call it linen) and all the stripes lined up perfectly, which was done by hand by a craftsmen. Even the chest pocket stipes are perfectly matched.This is a quality garment.

This is how I went out today when I went to go get a sandwich for lunch.

Unfreaking-believeable.I read how you did it, and then found myself wondering how you did it.Maybe I have entered some sort of state of altered consciousness. I just hope tomorrow that I don't find myself saying "huh? What do you mean hey Richie? My name is Sonny - Sonny Crockett!"

[Richie Rich]

But you ARE Sonny Crockett.

I wish.About the closest I came is that I sat in the exact same place that he did. It was the curb at the Little Havana gas station from Evan. I am on the right with the black pants. Sadly' date=' that will be the closest I will approach to the Kingdom of Sonny:Hmm - now that I think about it, that Nordstrom shirt/jacket would be great for what I had on that day.[img']http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee99/MVRichieRich/DSC01450.jpg
