A MAN OF HIS OWN.....:THE PAISLEY PRINT BLAZER

Paisley print is an easily recognized pattern that resembles a crooked tear drop or half of a yin-yang. A very popular print on all sorts of clothing and fashion accessories during the 1960s, paisley print is commonly found today on men’s ties and handkerchiefs. Though paisley print became popular when it appeared in the shops of London's Carnaby Street during the mod fashion frenzy, its origin can be traced back to India.Though the recognizable paisley print pattern was originally crafted by Indian artisans, it was brought to Scotland in the early 19th century, where it received its name. Paisley print was named after the Scottish town of Paisley, where printed cotton and wool fabrics were heavily manufactured. I fell in love with this jacket the first time i layed eyes on it. It has a golden yellow based and print and some type of funky light blue (which probably komes from the age) trimming the paisley print. I truly wish that more things were made like this, because i feel that as young men today we are so quick to accept trends and whats hot now.Klearly, the Gent that was adorn in this lovely kashmere blazer, didnt kare about what people thought about him and his style. Unfortunely, its just to small for my wide football player shoulders, so i'm going to do some work on it and give it to a good friend of mines,  who i know would take kare and appreciated it like i would.
