Two weeks ago I spotted this band jacket at Archive Vintage (an amazing boutique here in Dallas run by the talented Kerry Bonnell) whilst shopping there with Jackie from V.O.D. But I didn't buy it until this Wednesday! It's soo fun to style, I've been playing with a ton of different outfits with it.
It's vintage Perry Ellis and it's ultra-suede with this grey industrial cord-like trim and eppaulettes.
I am wearing them with a bib from the Urban Outfitters Andersend & Lauth collaboration, a red silk miniskirt from a label called Mischen, Betsey Johnson tights, and Balenciaga Fall 2006 ankle boots.
I see Garance Dore and Refinery 29 are doing features on band/military jackets too-check them out!
***I am also very excited to announce that I (and many other bloggers-including That's Just My Vibe, the respective Queens of Style, and Mademoiselle Robot) are working together on a top secret project for Vice-can;t say much now but I'll let you in on the details as soon as I get the go-ahead!***
great find!
Horray you found one! It looks fantastic and I love how you mixed all of the textures together. :)
Jane you fabulous girl. Reminds me of the military inspired velvet jacket I have from Emporio Armani
that is one gorgeous jacket! i love how yours is so unique yet still has the general elements of a band jacket :D And i love the way you put together the outfit!
love the outfit of course.
and oh, Vice Mag also emailed me asking to contribute.
What a beautiful jacket! It looks fabulous! Of course, I also like the ankle boots!
I’m there with you with vice ;)
You look amazing as always. Band jackets are defo ” it” right now.
Your blog is beautiful! I stumbled upon it recently and have been completely addicted to it, not gonna lie.
And I love this outfit, by the way.
Nice. I bailed on the Vice offer but I’m stoked to see what happens with so many other rad contributors.
Your jacket is really gorgeous, I will add your picture to my band & military jackets post.

Your Balenciagas are killer and the jacket really compliments the outfit.

PS I bought that bib at UO yesterday and cant want to wear it!
Normally, I’d think that 5 statement pieces in one outfit was too much, but you pull it off spectacularly! It doesn’t look overdone at all, just absolute perfection, as usual. Great, great jacket, and of course shoes!!
someone, please buy this (hopefully jane!)
