"Vintage" MAM Vest/Jacket

[Brandybuck]

I picked up this piece from eBay earlier this week, not sure if it's vintage, but it sure is cool. Check out the pics and description on my blog!

Thanks, everyone...it's been fun shopping all over eBay for 70's clothes.

 

mythunderbird - how did you wear them? Maybe I can give my sis a few ideas. The party is next Saturday.

 

roli- It helped keep me warm while sitting at the computer last night!

I do have a quick question about the pattern... most of the rows seem straight but a couple of them are more wavy. Is it just the way you are standing or is it in the yarn or what? (Or are my old eyes just wonky? ?)

That is so cool looking! I would wear it just like you were with jeans and a t-shirt.

 

could you crochet a tam in the same colors..toss on some love beads and sun-glasses and you would be good to go. Add a Dead Head T-shirt and I think she is golden.

darkski - I think it's the variegated yarn in the center. The colors are switching sides as the person crocheted it, so I think that's what's making it look wavy. If that's what part you're talking about...

 

PoisionApple - Oh that sounds awesome! I'm going to try to sell her on that idea. I think I can still get that variegated color in RH SS.

Heh. I hope you do. I would love to see what costumes you guys come up with!

Thank you. I thought that may be what it was. I can't wait to see what all of you do .
