Mon 'new' jacket

Of course, when I should be shopping for others, here I am buying something for me - namely this 'new' coat thrifted at Stretch Thrift in my 'hood.

Reader, it was a 50 percent off sale and this vintage James Bay Made in Montreal Jacket was only $10! Ten dollars! And it sat there for almost two whole days at 50 percent off - that means it was made for me!!

Now, the Google Gods could tell me nothing of James Bay Fashions in Montreal, but let's just say this: it's obviously a really well-made coat, with a lovely thick lining inside (intact) and made of lovely (wool? not fur, phew) material.

It could have looked like an old lady jacket but I think I jazzed it up pretty well with wool leggings, a cashmere scarf and a jaunty little beret - non? Thanks to my darling mannie for snapping the pic and making me look so good.
