<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 10000547, member: 84&quot;]I found this vintage matador jacket with pearls throughout it ?including hanging off cuffs) at a local thrift store I go to every weekday. </p><p>I asked my friend who is the manager what he wanted for it &amp; he said $100!</p><p>I don&#039;t usually buy clothes there except if i found a old concert t-shirt,&nbsp; or a themed jacket - like Nascar), but it was so cool looking &amp; obviously had age, so i offered $60 and he said $75.</p><p>Then i did an image search and 1 similar - ish&nbsp; one by Jean Paul Gaultier came up with a $50,000 price on it!</p><p>Now i didnt think mine was by him, but mine doesn&#039;t have any tags &amp; looking at the pics of the Gaultier one didn&#039;t show any tags -&nbsp; so I bought it.</p><p>Now to clarify, I&#039;m a 64 yr old male picker, so please don&#039;t laugh too much! Also my friend told me after telling me he wanted $100 for it &amp; noticed the look of shock i must have had on my face, &quot;Loom at ut Charlie,&nbsp; its obviously vintage, well made and gorgeous.&nbsp; If you took it to any vintage store itd be worth $300 at least.</p><p>So I&#039;m&nbsp; hoping someone here can tell me anything about this matador style jacket with embroidery and pearls - please?</p><p>Also, first 2 photos taken at thrift &amp; then outside ; insude at home with my phone.</p><p>Last photo is if a 1950&#039;s(?) Girls varsity sweater? For that he only charged me $10 - maybe why the initial $100 charge for pearl jacket shocked me! (Is it from 50&#039;s? A varsity/sports letterman sweater?</p><p>Thank you for any help with this!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]502277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]502278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]502279[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]502280[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]502283[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]502284[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]502285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]502286[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]502287[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>THIS IS ANOTHER VINTAGE PIECE I FOUND - MY FRIEND ONLY CHARGED ME $10 FOR IT!?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]502291[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
