To be devastated?

[timeisnotaline]

I found a moth infestation in a cupboard. Obviously have emptied cupboard and fortunately only two items are really affected , which I have thrown out. One was a gorgeous Zara velvet blazer of ds’s. I’d buy it again if I could. I’d buy it in every size from 3 up. He only wore it twice but I loved it! I’ve had a quick look and there’s nothing the same (satin collar,very deep navy or possibly black) and it’s not on eBay. I know this is about as much of a first world problem as you can get (and I’m glad the rest of the clothes which are much more practical are fine). But his beautiful blazer.... :(

Devastated seems a bit much. Sad is understandable.

Yes, YBVU. Zara? 3?? Come on!

Get a grip OP

Doubt hel want to wear velvet Blazers forever so I wouldnt worry

I found what I believe to be moth holes in my favourite top recently , I was mildly annoyed .

Devastated . Please

Depending on where and how extensive the damage is you could see if a local tailor could adapt it in some way? But at the end of the day it's just a blazer and he will have lots of other nice clothes in the future :)

The dictionary definition of devastated is “severe and overwhelming shock or grief” So if you feel like that over a blazer you are being ridiculous, a bit sad is reasonable.

Devastated is a total over reaction.

Okay fine. Lingeringly mournful?

He had his velvet blazer period. And now it’s over. And that’s ok.

Yes, you are unreasonable to be devastated about an item of clothing.

Get a grip, and some perspective.

Check eBay for a replacement.

I think I should have been more specific in the title plus a lighthearted, so people didn’t click expecting someone to have died. I don’t start many threads, I’ll do better next time.

Not lighthearted because it’s a joke but because I recognise it’s just a jacket not actual life and death and will get over it. It was a very beautiful jacket, and he looked so adorable in it. I’m having a moment!

Even Russell Brand is over velvet blazers now mate.

Aww, OP. Have a . I hate finding that something nasty's happened to lovely clothes, as well. Though our local moths seem to favour the gussets of all my knickers as a snack, which just aggravates me.

It’s ok. When I started reading I thought you were going to say that your collection of Scottish cashmere has been devoured - now that would be devastating!

I don't think OP is literally devastated by the dictionary definition ffs stop harping on.

Boden currently have some nice boys blazers - including a cool looking one that is embroidered with space themed motifs!

Reanimated - moths seem to like my knickers, too. I don't know what it means, and I don't want to...

There are some on ebay, I just looked. Might not be the styles you want though.

Reanimated, your post made me lol. You know where to put the mothballs, don't you? That will deter them - and other unwanted guests. You'll grow cobwebs eventually though. :-)

From the sounds of the blazer i expect he would be pleased

What colour/size was it? Maybe it could be found somewhere! X

notcontent they do thanks, and I love Boden, and I also love space themes as great for kids plus gender neutral but here I want plain classic.

purpleflower I imagine I will periodically check as and when I am struck by sad memories.

Also notcontent I completely agree a Scottish cashmere collection would be a greater loss!
