[Jimmy Page's rose embroidered matador jacket]

Perhaps contact Jimmy Page tribute artist Jimmy Sakurai to inquire if he would be willing to assist with acquiring replica stage attire. The Jimmy Page stage attire he wears is some of the best I have ever seen and it encompasses every era of Jimmy's career in music.

I've just received the reply from Jimmy S.

Unfortunately not help much

"Hi Luca, at least you couldn't get anything to make anyone's heart move with easy shopping at big stores. I just have worked hard to find all stuffs in need to tribute JP for over 30yeras. So many try and error with big cost, time, and sometimes fortunately met wonderful artisans with enthusiasm to respond my difficult request.That's all I can advice you and I believe you WILL find it! Good Luck!

Jimmy SAKURAI"

Some photo's of Jimmy Sakurai performing with Led Zepagain and meeting Jimmy Page. He's wearing a copy of the red poppy, black jacket.

So hopefully, as SteveAJones suggested, he should be able to help you.

Good luck with it all. Let us know how you go.

Thanks, I hope to hear something from him early... And, for sure, I'll add some pics when the work will start

Page once mentioned in an interview that a Los Angeles costume designer named Coco made the dragon and poppy suits. Perhaps she made the rose jacket as well.

I had also read this... But I haven't found nothing about her

Another pic of Jimmy Sakurai in the jacket. There's many other photo's on his MrJimmy page.

:D

Beautiful covers, I'm impressed...

Ah, ok..

Thanks for the informations...

Terrific performance

I took a look to Led Zepagain FB page and, yes, I saw only the dragon suit...

About Steve Z(oso), I found only a "myspace" page with one pic only.

Anyway, I've sent an e-mail to Jimmy Sakurai, I hope that he can give me some information about his suit...

Many thanks to everybody for the replies and for the good tips...

The photo below was posted by Glyn in the other thread he provided the link to, but I reposted it here for ease of my description.

As far as sewing and embroidering a copy of this jacket, I can tell you that the red poppy is not embroiderded. It is a separate embellishment that has been either edge stitched on or glued. I can tell this by it's raised qualities and the slight dark shadow surrounding the poppies. The leaves surrounding maybe the same, but more likely lots of heavy embroidery.

On the sleeve, the gold colour poppies are probably also a separate embellishment attached and then over-edged (sewn) on. There are also obvious fake red gemstones glued onto the centre of the gold poppies and up and down the sleeve. The rest of the gold colour leaf and stem on the sleeve is straight forward decorative embroidery.

As I thought, the jacket's material seem to be very very soft to support this kind of embroidery...

...I tend to think it's probably just a basic polyester, synthetic type blend.

Me too...

Ok, I will try to do it, thanks...

Hi,

thanks for the reply... yes, I've seen it.

My aunt is a very master in embroidery... but my problem at the moment is to find a jacket that looks like the one weared by Jimmy.

Looks like a bolero jacket, but also a bullfighter jacket... (the best would to know also the material, from "The Song Remain The Same" the effect of light affects the material, sometimes seem to be

velvet, sometimes cotton)

Hi everybody,

this is the first time that I write here... english is not my first language, so forgive me for any errors

I'd like to realize a replica of one of the Jimmy Page's suit (from 1973 live concerts)...

is there anyone out there who knows where I can find some good pics of Jimmy Page's "Rose embroidered jacket" (anyone knows who is the tailor?)

Thank you very much
