Vintage silk blazer with skull theme

About the theme:

Skulls have diverse meanings across cultures and contexts. They often symbolize mortality, the transient nature of life, and a reminder of our own impermanence. In some cultures, skulls are associated with death and rebirth, while in others, they represent protection or warding off evil. The symbolism can vary from macabre to more positive themes, such as embracing change or overcoming challenges. It's a versatile symbol with interpretations ranging from the morbid to the philosophical.

About material: 

Brooks Brothers introduced many clothing advances to the American market throughout its history as a leader in the American menswear industry.

• Light-weight summer suits: the first lightweight summer suits made of seersucker were introduced by Brooks during the early 1930s

Seersucker or railroad stripe is a thin, puckered, usually cotton fabric, commonly but not necessarily striped or chequered, used to make clothing for hot weather. The word originates from the Persian words شیر shîr and شکر shakar, literally meaning "milk and sugar", from the gritty texture ("sugar") on the otherwise smooth ("milk") cloth. Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled or puckered appearance. This effect is often achieved during weaving by warp threads for the puckered bands being fed at a greater rate than the warp threads of the smooth stripes.
