something something Robots in Disguise

Something something More Than Meets The Eye

I could've gone my entire life without seeing a better or larger image of that chubby Mona Lisa. It's disturbing... Like how could someone have that in their home disturbing.

@noob in 89 Middle part says super robot life form, last part says Cybertron (Saibatron in katakana). Not sure about the first character.

I think this is a Type II (1950s)?
As is festooned with those buttons (and it stinks so of course my dog likes it)

^ Nice! Whack them buttons off and you're good to go!

Looks like it has pink? buttonholes as well.

That second sentence is straying very close to TWSS territory.

yes, whoever added those buttons also stitched pink thread around every buttonhole. Think I should remove all that or just sell it as is?

Remove. The target market as it stands (N=1) just gave that to a thrift.

Having a real, as the kids would say “oh brother” moment at the thrift store. I bought it because it was $7 but I don’t think I’ll be able to removed the embroidery without it being noticeable. Do company logos to Columbia fleece vest not bird skeleton brand.

Yeah it's gonna be tedious and there may not be much original thread left underneath if it was worn through, but I'd remove the Pink thread and buttons and etc.

It's a nice piece with authentic wear. Someone nearly "Bubba'd" that jacket for their own personal taste without regard to it's history and value, but it's still at a point where it can be reversed and made right for future persons who will appreciate all that.

May I remind you that he used the term “whack them off” in the first sentence?

That’s not always a dealbreaker for me. I’ve got this one on the back of a Patagonia Capilene shirt.At least it’s from a ski shop... I wouldn’t wear a Microsoft logo.
