I don't know anything about this (blouse? Jacket?) I saw one sold said vintage. Is it? Any information is appreciated!

can you post a closeup of the tag? I can't zoom in & can't really read it. Silver something?
Looks like a jacquard, but that doesn't date it at all.

No offense, but how do you list without knowing how to do a close-up? I take 4-5 close-ups per listing. If you're using a camera, it's the little flower icon that's the macro lens - you still want to shoot from about 8" inches away, at least. On a phone it s/b pretty automatic as you get closer to the object. At least on an Android.
Anyway, as far as the item, just seems like something for the Asian market. It may well be vintage, but it doesn't seem like anything special to me, just a silk jacquard top. Without being able to really see the label & tag, what I can see of the font, does not look particularly vintage. But, vtg is only 20 years, so 2000 is now vintage LOL. It's a pretty silk jacquard blouse, beware that the Asian brands can run very small, so I would be sure to include measurements. Is it possibly reversible? I get that feel from it.

It looks like it may be a silk "shirt jacket" with that tone-on-tone Asian print. Nice. I sell them from Shanghai Tang when I can find them.

A shacket . I would list as asian damask top / jacket with contrasting cuffs and collar. Similar ones that I've seen are poly, but if yours is real silk you should be able to get a better price for it.

I've sold a fair amount of Silver Dragon - far as I know, every piece has been contemporary. That's a nice one and I like how you have it modeled.
It's tonal jacquard.

I know how to take a close up photo with my camera, the tag photo is a close up. I can see it very clearly on here, and I thought you were referring to some way of doing a close up when linking the photo to this page.

Sorry, I thought you were saying that you didn't know how to take a close-up photo LOL & I knew you'd been selling for a long time, so it didn't make sense :-) The photo doesn't enlarge when I click on it on the board, so I can't read it that clearly. I think the ability to enlarge on the board has to do with how you attach the pics, as there are 2 ways to attach. Sounds like Chap is familiar with the brand though.

I can read the words on the label without enlarging on my computer's monitor. You can, of course enlarge everything by holding down the Ctrl button & tapping the + on the numerical keypad & then tapping the - to restore to normal.

I still can't read what it says under Silver Dragon or get a good read on the font style, esp with the glare from the fabric competing.
