Help.
In addition to not updating this blog at all I been busy reading Vanity Fair. I ran across this picture of Paul Newman wearing this jacket. I decided I needed this jacket. But I have no clue what it’s called or where I’d find such a thing. If you know, please leave a comment would you? Sucker is fly.
Paul Newman Jacket
Here’s a photo of the jacket from the Buzz Rickson site. It’s something like 350 pounds which, with the state of the Dollar, equals about $1 million cash money.
Replica But Awesome

Hi
Its a Deck jacket, US navy, Jungle cloth, alpaca lining. Only now available in Japan from people like the Real McCoys and Buzz Ricksons. No one else makes this cloth. The last maker, Travis textiles in the US sold his last lot in the early 90’s

Alvaro, see the comment from Julian (sorry, hadn’t approved it yet). I understand that you can get some of them off of Ebay as well. They are a specific type of deck jacket though, have to make sure you get the right one. They tend to go for about $150.

BTW, you can definitely buy the Navy one…the khaki is a lot harder to find.
