bought this jacket from a ex service man many years ago ,if i remember correctly he said he and his buddies had them made out in the east while on a tour of duty ,said he had treasured it and worn it proudly for many years but recently it was causing a adverse reaction when he wore it out ,this was as best as i can remember the early 2000s , not sure if this was political or just down to knobheads mocking a older guy with a satin jacket on ,anyway long story short ,it was way too small for me but i always had a fondness for vintage stuff ,i didnt need the money but he sure looked like he did so i bought it ,
flash forward and my daughter has now decided its a cool retro item and has designs on it
i love her to bits , it goes with out saying but ,how can i put this "she's heavy on clothing on a night out" ,drinking smoking and crowds ,and delicate 54 year old clothing don't really mix
so im looking for a bit more info as to its history,tradition and possible value before turning it loose to the not so tender mercies of the saturday night crowd ,i can alway buy her a repro modern lookalikee one if needs be ,i know its a long shot but thought it worth the ask
thanks to all or any that can help cheers
