I leeeerrrvvvv this manly lady-print shirt, which is a great example of classy early-70s crazies. From a distance the shirt pattern appears to be a zig-zag swirl of lavender, bone, and pale-peach. Come closer and see a sea of ladies faces, with purple manes tied in polka-dotted bows/turbans/poufs and glassy eyes staring at nothing. The gals look like they could've jumped off a Biba advertisement straight to your new shirt. Once you get past the pastels and polka dots you'll love the sheer poly-cotton (feels like fine broadcloth, I kid you not) and the large chest pocket. "Tapered with tails". This is a winner… made by the Kings Road Shop of Sears. Figurative Op art at its finest. size : large price : $66

Flashy, glossy 70s pumpkin leather jacket --- a delightfully-tailored coat. This deerskin coat is a bonanza of good opportunity! Gleaming, slick, buttery vintage leather with the AMAZING patina that only greasy wear, skin oils, and the regular application of leather dressing can achieve. The hide has rich variations of tone and patterning. This honey GLOWS, as you can see. Check this out -- vertical princess seams top-stitched for visual emphasis. The jacket is nipped in at the waist and flairs out a little over the hips, very womanly. A wide confident collar that you'll probably clutch closed between your fingers during chilly weather -- remember to wear your gloves! Two chunky spanks of hip-pocket wrap around to the side creating a visual waist seam. And then, there's a lotta good tailoring bits, like the sharply-sewn angles of top-stitching, the lustrous dark-copper faille lining (more reminiscent of a 1950s evening frock then down n' dirty Seventies' style), high back vent, and hourglass silhouette. By Dorby Casuals of New York. This jacket is a bunch of flash. If you're not that girl, then walk away. Otherwise, saddle-up, filly, and go!
