West Point military jacket
Today was the first time I wore the jacket I got at the antique expo. When I posted pictures of my purchase, some readers informed me that it's form the West Point Military Academy, which makes it even cooler. I thought it was a band jacket!
My favorite thing about this jacket is that it has tails, and with a full skirt it kind of looks like a bustle :)
Apparently the uniform design has been in use since 1816, how cool is that?
And if anyone asks me if I am willing to sell it, I am just going to save you sending me an email and say no.
(I'm not being weird, I get lots of emails asking if my clothes are for sale.......)
