Good gracious! I shoped thrift store in the early eighties to get the Mtv look of all my favorite dance bands. It was cheap! I still have a man's suit jacket that was probably from the 40's bought in the eighties at a thrift store and my daughter keeps trying to take it from me now. It's suit weight wool and was made very well even though it's lining is now going thread bare... of course that is part of it's charm. I rolled the sleeves up to expose the lining. Darn now I feel old....
That's okay, I've seen some of you silver headed darlings (like my sweet hubby). I'm not the oldest.
