black unisex 70's punk blazer

Blemish 1:
Blemish 2 (not pictured on ebay page):
This blazer was purchased by a friend of the family's in London in the 1970's punk era. She outgrew it and handed it over to me, and I haven't worn it once. I don't know how often she wore it but it sure is in fantastic shape!

You can wear it with plaid tights and a schoolgirl skirt, with a simple dress, or just a tshirt and jeans! A guy or a girl could rock this blazer. Since it's black, it is very versatile, but still special and unique in the amazing details:
  • Plum colored lining
  • A single button, silver. The engraving is that of a school crest.
  • A pocket on the left-hand chest
  • The point it comes to at the bottom (in front and back)
  • The strong shoulders
  • You can roll the sleeves up or leave them down; they are rolled up in the picture
  • It is more black in real life, the gray-ness is due to the sun

There are two minor blemishes, one is pictured here and the other at http://clothingwithacause.blogspot.com. The other doesn't look much different. One is located around the right-hand rib cage and the other around the upper left-hand back. Both are very small and hardly noticeable.
