60s Historic Las Vegas Casmere Sportscoat Jackmans Soft and Warm! 40 R Rat Pack Mike Bonfiglio$625.00
Imagine Frank Sinatra or other members of the Rat Pack walking past this dynamite blue cashmere sports coat! If you know Las Vegas, the winter nights are pretty cold, compared to the sunny afternoon temperatures! So this is perfect for going out to dinner...and when your date puts her hand on your arm and feels that soft cashmere, she will only want to get closer! Only one small flaw...a few stitches on the collar have come undone, and can easily be mended! See close up. You will also see areas where there is mild wear, but no holes! The jacket is fully lined in that cool, satin fabric seen in the close up of the label. Three inside pockets, all original buttons, one button on each cuff. An inside tag reads 11-27-70, Mike Bonfiglio...I just found his obit. see below. This jacket has HISTORY!!!

Longtime DI host Bonfiglio dies
During four decades as casino host, he tended to the needs of tens of thousands of high-rollers, celebrities and just regular customers who wanted dinner or show comps, a partner for a round of golf or a marker at the gaming tables.
"A casino host who takes care of high-stakes players should be serving in our State Department," former longtime Desert Inn President Burton Cohen said, acknowledging the kid-glove care some demanding customers require. "In Mike Bonfiglio's case, he could have been secretary of state."
Michael Robert Bonfiglio, who often boasted that he tended to the needs of Desert Inn customers "from the womb to the tomb," died Thursday in Las Vegas. He was 84.
Services will be 1: 30 p. m. Wednesday at St. Joseph Husband of Mary Catholic Church, 7260 W. Sahara Ave. Sunrise Cremation & Burial Society handled the arrangements.
Bonfiglio worked at the Desert Inn from 1961 until his retirement in 1996. Steve Wynn has since bought the property and is in the process of building the Wynn Las Vegas megaresort on the site.
Bonfiglio is survived by a sister, Frances Salancy.
