Poet Jones 99980 Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 I am trying to recreate a type of historical character. To that end I am looking for a men's Bolero jacket, sort of like the one worn by James West and Artemus Gordon in the tv series Wild, Wild West. I have checked everywhere under "bolero jacket, flamenco jacket, Spanish horse clothes, Portuguese horse clothes. There seems to be suppliers in Spain, Portugal and the UK. I thought that I would ask here first before paying the shipping.
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Always liked the James West look. Dapper but deadly. Don't think I could pull it off grey with hair. Work n Ranch would be a place to start. Ask for Linda. If she doesn't have it, she could track it down. Good luck Mr. Jones

Marshal Hangtree Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Check your local tux shop. They often have quite a bargain on coats that have been rented before.
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 The Gentleman's Emporium carries them.

Here is a link to an original James West getup just for reference. http://www.screenused.com/index.cfm?item_id=5680

Been eye-ballin' this jacket for months, with the code and sale price, finally got in my range and ordered today!
Poet Jones 99980 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks for all the suggestions pards. Mayobard, thank you for the offer, it's a bit outside my budget right now. I like the one from WWEmporium, but I am looking for something around that discounted price, but without the embroidery.
MAYOBARD SASS #13025L Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 I understand. My dad paid $200 for a taylor made one. I could not let it go that cheap especially since he only wore it once. It is like brand new.
