Black Cororoy jacket conversion

I just got back from my tailor my most recent jacket conversion. This time it’s a black cordoroy. I like it.

Goes pretty well with the Black Stewart, no?

I guess I should have put on a light colored shirt.

Congratulations, sounds like it came out good. Hmmm, I have a bunch of suit jackets in my closet that I don't wear... might have to have them converted.

That's what I'm doing, little by little. However I gave away my pin-stripes...

Unless, of course, you were going for the mafioso look
Looks good.

Hmmmm.... you've got me thinking. Thisis a dangerous and often time-intensive thing to do.

Now you got me wanting to visit the thrift store again to find another black jacket to convert...

But the jacket looks great! Hope you get lots of use out of it.
