……………………….Once again gODFREAKo has beat me to the punch!!!…..That little devil!!!……..So….there’s no reason for me to hold this sneak peek any longer. As you can see I will be offering you a new “SWING” DENIM JACKET, A265536. The “body” of this jacket was styled after a very popular item that is now being retired after many years….the A87434, swing Hounds Tooth Check jacquard cotton jacket. You can tell by the very short style number just how old it is! …..The first color I’m showing you is called……………FLAG BLUE………………Remember, these are denim fabrics so the colors will not be solid….They show a little bit of the white coming through. We call this new jacket and the now vintage Hounds Tooth jackets “swing”, but that really that is not accurate. A swing jacket actually has more spread at the bottom, so for us we will call it an A-Line jacket as the H. Tooth jacket was. This jacket has the same DIAGONAL SEAMS with inseam POCKETS in the front. At either end of the pocket is a STUD. This is both for decorative purposes, and to reinforce the ends of the pockets. The back still has the INVERTED PLEAT, which still has a 1/4 inch TOP STITCHED to keep a SHARP EDGE. The sleeves are still 3/4 length and have a split turn back cuff. This jacket has a shirt collar, and if you like, stands at attention perfectly. There is a placket down the front with SIX SIGNATURE BUTTONS. All of the hardware and buttons on all of the colors is GOLD…..I can hear the sighs now…LOL…no silver?….next time. My manufacturer would love me to use more silver……anything but gold which is way more expensive!……..This denim jacket, as all of my others , is UNLINED, and very light in weight….so….when you have to put your other jackets, and denim jackets away because they are just too heavy and warm….this one can still have more life, because it can be worn later into the season…….If you are in the majority of women who liked the “swing” Hounds Tooth jacket, then you should like this one too. I would recommend buying your normal size. The only measurement that would be important is the shoulder width. There should be plenty of room for all of my pears and apples……The jacket, in the XS, is approx. 27 inches long…… On the bottom I have the new WHITE DENIM CROP PANT, A265539, which my friend gODFREAKO has also spilled the beans on. It will be avail in WHITE and INDIGO only.
When you get dressed each day, you should always add something that will amuse, or bring a smile to your face….or even shock. It can be a pop of color, such as the NECTARINE WK sweater [avail in either the A233952, scoop neck s/s, or the A233944, V-neck s/s]. There are limited sizes in both styles. A scarf, a trouser sock in an amusing pattern or color, footwear like a fun sneaker, a piece of jewelry….like the GOLD FISH PENDANT, J278128….. would all do the trick……you get the idea……something that will make YOU FEEL GOOD, and will bring out who YOU are…..Something that your family, friends, fellow workers or even strangers will look at with appreciation……Otherwise we might as well wear uniforms………………………Have FUN…Spring is here!!!………………………………………………………..enjoy………………………..much Love……………………………….Louis
………………………………….The second color being offered is …………………..RED………….Again, remember this is NOT a solid red…..It is a denim red with the WHITE showing through, or as it’s called “grin through”.. Again, all the trimmings are GOLD. Remember to clip out the extra button from the inside and store in a safe place……………This is a machine wash cold jacket, and hang to dry….warm iron if necessary. If you want this solely as a casual jacket that method of cleaning will be fine, but if it were mine, and I always wanted it to look crisp and sharp, I would have it dry cleaned….or….I would machine wash it and have a dry cleaner professionally press it….but that’s just me…..Us men like our shirts crisp and our suits pressed…..It really isn’t necessary to do that…… it is just a suggestion. If you already own any of my denim pieces, the fabric is always the same, then you already know how it washes………………..One of my favorite combinations is RED with any PURPLE…..In this case the WISTERIA WK V-NECK TANK, A233942…that’s my shock….my surprise to this outfit…..On the bottom, my Linea Leisure WHITE PANT, A262070………Just to spike up the GOLD a little more….I have added one of my favorite necklaces….the “LINEA” GOLD METAL BEAD NECKLACE, J296893 and my favorite earring, the GOLD BOLD HOOP, J288055……………………To finish it off the GOLD PANTHER LINK WATCH, J273959…..This jacket can be as casual or dressy as you make it….Wear it with PURPLE , RED or WHITE SNEAKERS or some killer RED HEELS…..it all works no matter what your life style is……………………………………………………………..
……………………………………………………………………………….enjoy……………………..much Love………………………………Louis
……………………………………….STARK WHITE………………….is the third and final color this jacket will be avail in. For me, in the summer, there is nothing like a WHITE JACKET……….One thing about a white jacket….you can wear it practically over EVERYTHING!…….Wear this over the proverbial LBD or the new essential MAXI DRESS…..Wear it over shorts, skorts Capris, crops, leggings, skinny or wide leg pants…..Wear it with minis, knee length and maxi skirts…..Truly it just works. Above, I have chosen the MALIBU BLUE LINEA LEISURE shell top, A266066, and the NAVY WK SKIRT, A253411. The sizes of the skirt are going, and a navy skirt is a must have for spring and summer! The SIGNATURE LOGO necklaces, J320468 and the SIGNATURE EARRING, J320884, add just the right touch…..not too much, but not insignificant either……..There are so many clothes you already own, and soooo many coming that will work incredibly well with this white jacket that I consider it an ESSENTIAL…….Don’t even think about what you are wearing…..just grab it and put it on……..it all works!………………………………enjoy……………………….much Love…………………………….Louis
…………………………..The DENIM VEST, A252356, is returning in one of the most, if not the most, popular colors….WHITE…….The vest is an item you wear over everything….T shirts, sweaters, shirts and dresses. It is also an item you wear UNDER jackets and coats. It is an item to be worn all year long…………There are many many types and qualities of denim….hundreds and maybe even thousands. There are fabric companies that are devoted to only making denim…..The mind boggles just how many varieties there are. There are different weaves….there are different finishes, different washes and different weights of denim. Denim has come a long way since Levi’s denim we all grew up with……There was a question if this was actually denim…..YES…..it is. It may not be the denim you are used to, but it is a legitimate denim. This is a LIGHT WEIGHT denim, so it is suitable to wear all year long….especially in the summer. For those of you who are new to the vest….it is a cotton/span….it is unlined, and there are NO pockets…..no bulk….. It is shaped, and has a zip front and two flaps with SIGNATURE LOGO buttons. It also has back tabs and buttons….so if you wish to have it smaller at the bottom you simply move the button. Vests are usually considered “accessory pieces”, but when worn on its’ own, with a bottom of your choice, it becomes an integral part of your wardrobe………The WHITE VEST has GOLD SIGNATURE BUTTONS, and a GOLD ZIPPER…..Above, I have it shown just two ways ,out of a myriad of possibilities…..both are of sneak peeks to come. The first shows the white vest over the RED and NAVY FRENCH SAILOR SWEATER and a pair of jeans. The second shows the vest over a new WHITE WK S/S sweater with gold signature buttons down the front and the navy BOHO SKIRT A70208………..To accessorize both looks I have chosen my SIGNATURE LOGO NECKLACES in GOLD, J320468, and the GOLD SIGNATURE LOGO EARRING, J320884 [a look that Chanel made so famous]….my GOLD PANTHER LINK , or my GOLD and WHITE ENAMEL watches will finish the looks…….The last time I sold this vest it went very quickly, and it took a full year to bring it back, so if this is something that you have your eye on…..don’t blink or it will be gone again………………………….enjoy………………………….much Love………………………..Louis
