I'm not sure exactly how old it is, but the shop on the label (which has an interesting history) hasn't been at 115 Asylum St. since 1989, putting it well over the 20 years old that clothing needs to be before it's considered vintage.
I wear it all the time, which is extra awesome since it only cost me about $6 at a thrift store.

So I was disappointed when I pulled it out of my closet and found two tiny holes on one of the shoulders.
What to do, what to do?
I went to the craft store to look for a solution . . . maybe an iron on? But there wasn't really anything that fit with the blazer's classic lines. As I walked through the aisles, inspiration struck.
I should put a bird on it:
I'm no hipster, but this was the perfect solution.
Cute, right?
hate moths- HATE them. I LOVE wool. Raynauds aside it is the best fabric ever created in my mind . I knit with it regularily and hunt it down relentlessly at thrift stores and garage sales. So I do so hate to see the moths arrive to eat up my wardrobe and wool stash.
ReplyDeleteLove the pin idea- very creative solution!
( try cedar chips in your closet or wardrobe- moths hate cedar)
Cedar chips are a great idea. This is the first evidence of moths I've seen, and I want it to be the last!
DeleteLOVE it! Very quirky and trendy. :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I adore this jacket, so I was glad to find a way to keep wearing it.
DeleteThe birds are so cute, now it's good for another 20! That was a very creative solution!
ReplyDeleteI hope so! Thanks!
DeleteThere is usually a creative way to fix clothing. Glad you found a way with the cute birds.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hate being wasteful, so I was really happy not to have to get rid of it.
