I have about 6 of them, two are full suits I bought on a trip to London a few years ago, the others are new old stock.
I wear them often and always get compliments, great with paisley shirts and Beatle boots, which I am also wearing now.
Last chance for a mid life crisis I guess but who cares, I know they are hip.
Remember, Sammy Davis had about a thousand in his closet and he was one c o o l kat!
Of course, I don’t do the love beads!

One great thing about the “Good Old Days” of fashion was that the fads were just that, fads. Something that was fun and exciting and if you didn’t join in right away you missed out because they went away about as quickly as they came in – but you could get ready for the next one and fun was had by all.
Now, fads never seem to leave. I mean how much longer do we have to see: baseball caps on backwards or sideways; “high water” trousers, too many of which are below one’s butt crack; other pants also below one’s derriere that make a person look as though they’re standing on an accordion; a woman’s thongs higher than the waist level of her low hip hugging jeans – against a background of car stereos bumping bass that simulate earthquakes and would awaken a dead person who was deaf when they died?

I really, really, really wanted a Nehru jacket for about three days way back in 8th grade. I think it was the realization of just how dorky it would make me look that brought me to my senses.
