Eaton Jacket and set up.

Looks great. Sure, it's a lightweight jacket, and the vest has no back. But then you only paid $35 for it, right? Wearing that getup you can go to formal occasions and fit right in without spending a fortune.

It' s not as nice as dropping $300 on a Prince charlie and a full-back vest, but nobody is going to care....only you know, and considering how many times you'll likely wear it, it's a good deal.

Pretty much all I planned on doing was adding the buttons and some eppilettes.

Epaulettes are only needed if you want to wear a fly plaid. I really like the comtemporary look of the jacket without the epaulettes.

Just wondering here, is that a 1 button or 3 button jacket and are the lapel and collar satin ?? It's kind of hard to tell from the picture..

Somewhere on this forum, is a post where sombody wove their own epaulettes, but I can't find the right search words to lead me to it. Anybody else find it?

The jacket is light but I find it can be worn year round and remain comfortable. Mine can be seen in the pics gallery, trimmed as you have suggested with buttons and epaulettes. It is definitely an affordable alternative to a wool jacket.

I like what I see, keep it simple.

I like eppilettes. Therefore, I will have them.
