Mayor Vaughn's jacket from Jaws?

[KansasJack]

Does anyone have any ideas where to find this type of vintage fabric with anchors on it? Or, better yet, the jacket itself? Thanks.

One year at DragonCon in Atlanta, there was a JAWS group including the mayor. They took a suit jacket and applied iron-on, anchor-shaped patches to it. I've seen the patches at Wal Mart and Hancock Fabrics.

I wonder if anyone would do a run of the fabric?

The mayor is a member here - greatgarlando. He can tell you how many anchors he used.

Guys, let's be reasonable here. This is not the time or the place to perform some sort of half-assed creation of anchor fabric. And I am NOT going to stand here and see those things ironed on and then see those little anchors fall off all over the dock!!!

:lol

God I hope not!

I'm sure someone would if the order was big enough

I can't remember if it was the Mad or Cracked parody of Jaws back in the day, but one of them gave the Mayor's jacket little dollar signs all over it. Clever!

Nice! Regarding the type of fabric, I'll add "You yell cotton, everybody says 'Huh? What?' You yell polyester, we've got a panic on our hands on the fourth of July."

Thanks for the input everyone.

I would seriously be in if anyone did a run *cough cough Magnoli*. ;-)

I can get the fabric, although it's kind of expensive, anyone know where I could get the jackets made from my custom fabric, that wouldnt cost an arm and a leg?

You're gonna need a bigger loom.

The sense of humor on this forum is one of the key reasons I frequent....well and the props too!

Hey guys,

Look at this vintage Polyester beauty I came across on the bay recently. Didn't get it, but obviously it's the same cut of blazer+anchor motif

 

[RedheadKevin]

That looks like something Mrs. Vaughn would wear

So you saw this in person? Do you recall if the anchors were printed or embroidered?

Where was this? "on the bay" ? Do you have a name of the shop? Thanks!
