I really think you should leave it as is. That color is great, super versatile.

As was mentioned, the cotton will likely have no problem taking the dye unless there's a hidden discoloration somewhere, (e.g. bleach, detergent, attempts to spot clean a stain). Depending on a bunch of variables like time to soak, the color dye used, temperature of water, etc. you may not get the desired results you want. The stitching will very likely not take the dye, in which case you'll have a jacket with contrast stitching. That generally looks weird.

Yeah I think will take your advice .
I can see myself butchering it.

Live. What do you all think? Leaning towards fake.

Thom Browne doesn't make Japanese clothes? I look forward to the result so I learn more but I'm leaning towards real.

Neat 1960's Don Ho souvenir cocktail glasses...$1.99 each. Collectible in the Tiki scene.

Good memories! I used to own some of these but they broke at a cocktail party!

Possibly headed down the first week of March to meet my dads recently DNA-discovered sister. If I can swing it. Things are a little tight. TWSS. I suppose the IRS can wait. Right?
