    A custom tailored Psychedelic era Fashion Sensation. Created by Modern Tailors in Plainfield NJ, this ooak show stopper was created for a Richard L. Helbrig. The bold mustard yellow, orange and brown swirling patterns begs the question - Mr. Helbrig - what exactly did you wear with this? Love this jacket, such a shout-out across time. Hippie fashion or mod madness? - Does it matter? Nice that the tailor dated it to 1973. Love that kind of provenance...

      Well- he was from New Jersey - so that explains a LOT! I bet he had dark brown pants to wear with it, and bright orange ones for special occasions! FANTASTIC!

      Modern Tailors of Plainfield NJ was owned & run by Attilio DeDario (1908-1994), who emigrated from Italy in 1936. He opened & ran the store on E. 2nd St. in Plainville NJ from 1936 to 1978 when he retired. See link, page 11, just under the date in upper right corner.

      OMG...LOL

      I used to have one of those crushed velvet shirts with the angel sleeves and embroidery around the neck. It screamed HIPPIE, as had to have it. I also had big red platform shoes too. Oh those days.....

      Just for you:
