Where the Buffalos Roam Reconstructed Vintage Jacket

Description

SALE!!! WAS $75, NOW $45


I originally found this 80 styles jacket at a shop in Savannah and instantly fell in love with it. I love Brawny Paper Towel Man buffalo plaid, but anyone who would have worn this jacket originally would have looked like an ugly linebacker. The 80s were not one for forgiving, flattering styles, and this jacket fell into that stereotype.

However, I took it upon myself to fix it up and reconstruct it into what you see above. The jacket is now fitted, the shoulder pads have been removed, and the sleeves have been shortened.

The jacket is 100% linen and is fully lined on the inside with a black, polyester lining. On the outside, there are three pockets. Two are in the right and left bottom corners of the jacket front, and one is on the top left next to the lapel.

I would recommend hand washing this jacket in cold water, then letting it line dry or dry cleaning it.

This jacket would best fit a medium or a large, depending on your measurements.

Measurements (while the garment is lying flat):
Length: 28 inches
Armpit to Armpit: 19.5 inches
Waist: 17 inches
Shoulder Opening (all the way around): 22 inches
Sleeve Opening (all the way around): 15 inches

If you have any questions, feel free to convo me. I can provide more pictures, measurements, or information. Also, please read the shop policies before placing an order.
