Found these two velvet jackets at the thrift store yesterday. I've always loved velvet, but always thought of it in relation to Christmas. However, these would likely be worn with jeans and a tee in casual outfits (unless you have other styling ideas).

The first is deep blue, shawl collar, no buttons (intentionally). It's 100% cotton, made in the US, and has the union label (am I dating myself?) .

The 2nd is more of a dark teal-blue, lighter in shade than jacket #1. Old Navy brand, polyester, pockets function but sleeve buttons are false.

I can return or keep one or both. I think I favor #1 from a quality standpoint, but there doesn't have to be a choice if both suit.

Thoughts? Thanks!
