This Adolph Schuman for Lillie Ann has a Union Label that dates from 1963 to 1974. Is this Considered Avant Garde? Origami?? It appears to have Military Style Buttons. I can't think of the Movie a Similiar jacket was worn, maybe its reminding me of Space Age. Any help would be appreciated with date 60's or 70's and some Keywords. THANKS You can clickon photos for a larger view


 
There is some info on Schuman on the VFG's Labels Resource page for Lilli Ann.
I think you're trying really hard to dictate what the viewer should take this as, trying to paint it into a genre that, honestly, doesn't fit. The fact is, this is just a good, quality, professional woman's jacket. It is a dress blazer (good keyword for it, by the way) for the new woman of the 70s.
Good keywords would also be nipped waist, maybe gold trimmed .


On a photographic note, unless you are blocking out your kid picking his nose or some hideous wood panelling in the background, you might be spending more time than it is worth doing the background removal. I see you are using the magic wand tool, which is picking up the shadows in your jacket, especially the edges of the sleeve/cuffs. You loose a bit of the garment in that.
If you are going to fuss with doing paint out, spend your time tracing the garment with your eraser tool in short bursts with a soft edged paintbrush head, if possible, assigning the final desired background color as you go, in this case, black. Then use the wand tool to select that background you want and delete it out to a solid. The result will be cleaner.
I used to do paint out, then I started just shooting against a good background and nixing that step. My wrist and eyes are much happier for it.

Oh, and that black spot, try fixing it with a clone/stamper tool in your photo edit program.:drinkingtoast:
 
For some reason when I take photos there is a Black shadow along the edge of my photos and I have tried all kinds of backgrounds and it still shows up, if I use a black background I get a brown shawdow on a white garmet. Thanks for the information it is very helpful, maybe I need a new camera but the Canon PowerShot A620 was pricey.
 
You are using a flash, no? If you use a flash on an item/subject, person that is close to the background, it casts a sudden sharp shadow that the camera picks up. You are basically flooding the area with light for a split second. Same thing as if you had a bright but small light shining right at the item.
