Turned a $6 thrift store blazer into a cropped jacket

Found an oversized mens blazer at Goodwill that had the nicest herringbone wool. Way too big and boxy but the fabric was worth it. I took in the side seams, shortened it by about 5 inches, slimmed the sleeves, and replaced the buttons. Total cost including the new buttons was maybe $14. This is the project that convinced me refashioning is underrated.
