I love Etsy. Because it helps me find things like this vintage bedazzled airbrushed Pittsburgh skyline denim jacket with 900 hand-placed Swarovski crystals:

Now. I’m curious. Under what circumstances would one wear this?

Because one does not simply wear this.

One must rock it to the fullest.

Amen.

    This needs to be replicated over and over and sold at the shop at The Hard Rock Cafe. I would buy one.
    So far as where you’d wear it, I think the perfect scenario is wearing it in other cities. Every expatriate ‘burgher could get one and show their civic pride.

    This is so thugnificently hedious I can’t even believe it. Someone needs to send this to Russell Crowe because he is the only one who could rock this with any gravitas whatsoever.

    FYI: I saw a gentleman walking down *the middle* of the 62-nd street bridge (the Fleming Bridge for you fancy lads) this morning wearing a very similar jacket– except it was black denim.

    So lack of fashion sense and lack of sense of personal safety may be related.

    Can’t believe this was already sold. I am moving downtown in a few weeks and my new building is pictured here.That made me kind of think I should buy it. (A+ to the buyer, though. You’re fantastic.)
