Remember the orange jacket fiasco?
During the dog days, based upon the Sartorialist's photo of this dapper gent in his linen jacket, I had an attack of "I need a orange jacket too itis". I was saved only by the photo below of George Schultz looking like the Great Pumpkin. Not having attended Princeton, Auburn, New Jersey State or any other Orange suited university, my need for orange quickly evaporated.
Into a crowded bar steps M. Lane of The Epic with his 2 cents worth. "What about J. Peterman's Amalfi sport blazer?, he says. Comes in yellow and blue too!"
At the time it was getting late in the season and frankly, they wouldn't fit. Now perhaps, 'cept they may be a bit loud for January.
Nearing the end of my capacity to shop my closets, and at less than $50 each, I purchased 2, expecting 1 or both would likely be returned.
I found them surprisingly well made & needing minimal alteration, so I'm keeping both. Even the fire truck red. Many thanks to The Epic. I second his recommendation.
Since I don't know what to wear with screaming yellow, I envision mellowing them a bit. Maybe if they spent the winter outside...
Let the spring catalog shopping commence.

Oooh - yellow and white would look fabulous, and one can always team up yellow and blue. With that bright yellow, I'd tend towards navy, or does that sound too boring?
wow. the ole jacket mistake. been there. done that. je regrette! however, looking back, some of those pics in that jacket look quite stylish.
I love J. Peterrman - so very cool. I think those jackets will be a lot of fun in the spring and summer.
Orange is all about just the right coloration. And it can be more neutral than one might think. Granted, I attended an orange school so the clothing is not strange to me. But I would encourage you to reconsider the orange, just not the Crayola color.
You are going to look quite suave in your red and yellow jackets Toad. I need to encourage my husband to grasp a look other than his polo shirts. Maybe that'll be my NY resolution!
*sorry for the delete, I had a senior moment...
When did J. Peterman return? How did I not know?
David, it's been years
I had no idea.
I have them as well. Very nice and well made as you said. I can't wait for summer to weir them in peacock style.
Ibanez RG350DX Electric Guitar Reviews and Opinions: guitars electric guitars work jackson guitars japan youtube guitar lessons guitars for girls Another customer mentioned that he liked the Hollywood Guitar Center In Los Angeles a lot. He believes you can't walk in there with the same mentality that you are shopping on Amazon or Craigslist. If you do you will be disappointed because the Guitar Center is a retail store. However considering their impressive quality of guitars and guitar parts their prices are very competitive. The store used to sell to the spoon fed crowd but now they do business with any customer off the street. And since they also have an Online E-Commerce Store it caters to internet shoppers all over the world.
