avoca Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 first hand report AND major disappointment: either the local H&M store doens't carry it, or the only model of ringmaster jacket (to define it jacket is to compliment it highly.. ) is absolutely nothing worth bothering. I'll go again and ask later on this month, to see if the one I saw in ads is for sale here too, or if they just got VERY good photographer who makes a 500 look like a rolls royce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avoca Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 report from zara mission: :bond: nice military like (ringmaster sort of) coat (not a proper jacket): short coat. black/grey. nice, but I looked for a jacket. costs 129 € Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbyyy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Also, in Mika's 'Behind the Scenes of We Are Golden' video, he wears this 'hat' at one point: And on the Walter Van Beirendonck website there's this T-shirt: So, i'm guessing that this is where his hat came from too, as it's the same design...

avoca Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 update on the ringmaster jacket front: I did look again at the H&M ad I have and no, the one pictured there is NOT the ****ty thing I saw in the H&M store here. it's a proper, nice black and golden jacket. I have no idea of the price though, cause they don't seem to carry it in the local H&M (yet). stay tuned though: I'm sure somewhere in H&M stores it's up for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shikutukumimika Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) If you search H&M ringmaster jacket on google the second link is this thread. Searching for it now on the Dutch H&M site now. *Edit: Found something that looks like it a bit.. 29,95 Euro. It isn't it though. *Edit again: This one, I just saw it above. :roflt: 34,95 Euro.

Blossom Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 EDIT 2: goggled the stuff and it seems it's about 35 euros. which makes the thing even more annoying.. the fact is not to be found, I mean.. My brother recently went to a fancy dress party dressed as Adam Ant and bought a black jacket for only 5 Euro. My mum ended up adding the ribbons to it. If you're good at sewing (or know someone who is) you can always try making your own coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iadoremika Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 If you have Amazon, or something similar, for your country there are some military style jackets there. Like this one for $40. http://www.amazon.com/Mossimo-Supply-Juniors-Majorette-Jacket/dp/B00284NPTO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1257196707&sr=8-2 I've seen it in my local H&M though, maybe it'll come to other stores soon? I must visit an H&M soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avoca Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 thanks for the amazon link: there's one which is similar. I did make my own ringmaster jacket out of a second hand plain black velvet jaket, for the dec. 2007 gigs in london. it sorted out quite nice, to be honest, and I'm a really poor taylor MFC'ers saw it and liked it. also john liked it it's more of a fancy dress costume though and I'd like a proper one for wearing everyday.

bitter.icarus Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm also on the hunt for a military/ringmaster jacket myself. I'm going to try second-hand stores (especially the religious-affiliated ones) since they're dirt cheap there, it just takes more effort, and it's usually hit or miss. Also, Forever 21 just opened here, so I'll try there. :/ Good style takes a lot of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever 21 has a great selection. The only problem is making sure the store in your area has it in stock, since online shopping (especially for jackets) can go horribly wrong.

Fmbm Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Guys, be cautious if you're thinking to buy a jacket from Forever21. I have a history of getting poor quality jackets form them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the cheap prices come with the cheap quality. That's how I got turned off by Old Navy about 7 years ago. Although...when and if (hardly ever) I buy "trendy" clothing, I almost don't mind paying cheap prices because trendy clothing can only be worn for a season or two. If I want to buy classic pieces that I know I might wear for years, then I'll be glad to pay more money. Forever 21 is trendy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I change my warddrobe every 5 years or so, so I'm good with that. Jeans from Old Navy are the worst. Never buy them. Really? I heard they were pretty good (from a teacher of mine). I've never tried them myself, their pockets create the "mom-jean" effect on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
