Houndstooth Check

I found this delightful houndstooth check jacket years ago. It is quite beautiful wool. Inside are initials and “Individually tailored” by Sears.

Inside that pocket is more information.

Was it tailored for or by Mr. Stanley Gee on 9/18/1961? If the initials are SG, then presumably for him.

Whoever it was for, it fits my 5 foot 4 inch frame, so the person was not very big. And the fashionable houndstooth is in three shades of green. Fabulous!

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: checks.

    Back in the sixties Sears was certainly not the basket case it became, and you could get a or of quality merchandise there.

    Who woulda thought you could get custom tailoring from Sears?

    Ah… At this moment I’m wearing a wool baselayer shirt that houndstooth, burgundy, blue and pink. I love. I love your jacket, too. What a wonderful thing to find!
