Is this a uniform or a really cool jacket?

... and would it be 1940s? It's purple rayon with gold/beige velvet accents. Thanks.

I don't think it's too early

VLV is April 5-8 and it's darn near Feb already

 

[The Vintage Merchant]

It's never too early to list that jacket! It should sell well anytime of year.

Will eBay let you use "Ricky Ricardo"?

Northstar Vintage - Susan, a VFG member, I think, answered my query on the VCA board. She sold a similar jacket recently for $390! She said it's a "Hollywood" jacket. I listed it tonight and used that term as well as rockabilly. It's not indexed yet on ebay, but I am eager to see how it does.

I did sell a similar bomber style jacket, but not nearly as Fab for $190, so that sounds about right.

Here's the VFG thread about Susan's jacket
She has a link to the auction there.

Thanks, Karen. I read that thread at the time, but it means more now that I have this jacket. I will certainly be on the lookout for cool vintage menswear from now on.
