Cole Hart Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Here is a link to similar jackets My wife likes the Spanish Bolero style riding jackets, but except for a maker in Europe who charges $500-$1000 per jacket she can't seem to find them for sale. Has anyone else searched out a source? Maybe you know a reasonable seamstress who is familiar with the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I just saw a men's jacket like that on sale at Wild West Mercantile. Maybe they have one for women as well. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diablo slim shootist Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 best thing would to buy a dress pattern and have someone make one out of the material of her choosing.From what I have seen $200 is not out of line for a ready made.Another option is to check E_Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Hart Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 EL Negro Gato, I'm very sorry to hear that. My sympathies go out to you, sir. I don't know what I would do without my Sally. This is a strange coincidence, as Sally just started shooting SASS recently, she was puzzling over a name for weeks and had just settled on "La Gata Negra". I hope there won't be a conflict if she tries to register it. She generally wears betwen a 16 and an 18 in jackets. I'm not sure what it would be in skirts, waist is probably a 38 or a 40. I looked at the Wild West Mercantile and didn't see any ladies size vaquero jackets. I also tried searched for bullfighting jacket and matador, but nothing comes close except for a couple of European sites that are horribly expensive. If a jacket costs as much as a gun, then we buy the gun. Thanks, Cole Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocent Bystander SASS #24171 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Cole, River Junction has a vaquero jacket for men. You might want to give them a call and ask if they can make it in a woman's size. I have had them do custom work in the past and they are more than happy to comply. Give them a call.

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 A seamstress I am not, but....I also like the bolero look. I found that by taking a button down sweater and cropping it at the bread basket all the way around, then "butterflying" the front (kinda rounding off from the bottom button) and zig-zagging the edges, I have an inexpensive bolero to shoot in. They don't look too bad either! I am sure the same can be done with a light weight jacket. Try getting something from the thrift store! Look me up on fb...I have a shot of me in one of my creations! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Howdy Pard! Does she sew? If so, Laughing Moon has an easy pattern. If you buy iron-on appliques you can make one easily for a starter. Here is that pattern. She could make the Laughing Moon jacket or vest and add an applique from Suitability. Scroll to see them. For anyone with even minimal experience sewing, this would be a simple option. Darn, now you've got me wanting to make a new costume. I already have both patterns.

Caliope Cupcake #13981 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 EBAY--do a search: jackets in the clothing & shoes category, then narrow it down by choosing "women" and "bolero". you'll find all kinds, in all fabrics, some new & some vintage, at discount prices up to expensive. There are a few boleros on there now that are really nice with studs, beads and trims--wool, suede, leather, twill & denim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
