OT: Where to get?

banman · 09-12-2006, 05:28 PM

Maybe this is a huge fashion mistake for a half-white guy, but I like the "Mao-style" button-up jackets, sorta like this:

Anyone know where to get them locally?

It's called a Mandarin collar, that might help out in your search. For men I've only seen them in shirts, not jackets although some leather jackets do have a collar similar to that.

i have a jacket JUST like that, except with white accents.
i got it from a thrift store on main for like....$5.

Unfortunately i cant help you out with where to get a new one tho!

New one try some of the shops in Chinatown. They got plain ones like that and ones with dragons on them and stuff.

Funny thing is, I can totally see you in that. In fact, I'm surprised you don't already own one.

Non-boring fashion FTW.

Wait - you remember what I look like? Haven't we only met like, once?

I've actually been thinking about getting one ever since this:

Could try one of the martial arts stores...IIRC they used to sell them to the wanna-be Ninja crowd!

hehe sorry Stephen

It's the shop on Main about 2 doors south of the Royal Bank. I think 416 Main Street.

Ricewagon · 09-13-2006, 01:20 PM

Don't forget there is a summer and a winter version of the jacket. And you might as well get the pants that goes with the jacket.

Kevin · 09-13-2006, 01:38 PM

Don't forget to get the silly little hat to go with it.
