    Unsure of my size

    Based upon my experience with Insurrection/Thurston, I offer a caveat: every time Carrie has shipped me a fit jacket, I end up keeping it....and still ordering another jacket based on the same pattern. I think this is all part of their evil plan........

    Unsure of my size

    If ever I purchase a jacket that does not fit properly, I'm going to blame Fanch.....always. (He's a damn Texan, you know.)

    Please Help Me Cure My Indecision

    If it were me, I would make the ride while wearing the JL. If it was a particularly hot day for the start of the trip, I would give it a good soaking and then ride it dry. The only way to break-in a jacket is to...break it in. A thousand miles of shake, rattle, and roll should do wonders, for a...

    9mm or 45cal

    "Ayoob" is his last name. One of my favorite off-duty holsters was termed the "Ayoob Rear Guard" by the manufacturer back when I purchased it. Then 09-11 occurred, and the manufacturer saw fit to remove any reference of a name like "Ayoob" and renamed it the "Freedom," or the "Patriot" Rear...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yes sir!!!! This is the first song on the album "Exotica," from 1957. Dad and one of his former commanding officers used to both stand on foot stools while in our living room, and pretend to direct the band while this song played. I would be busy trying to sneak a sip from their tiki-inspired...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    101°F today. No jacket, but I have the smoker going with some beef ribs, and listening to some Denny Martin tiki music, from 1957. My dad used to play this album when having people over for dinner (it's something he brought back from fighting in the Pacific in WWII). I was quite small but...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I wear a Schaefer Outfitters "Legend" jacket, made in USA from 14.5 oz. denim. Since all of my pants are canvas, the jacket goes well with them.

    Amazing vintage photo of various jackets at once

    In the mid-70's, at around age 14-15, I had this exact magazine pullout mounted on the wall of my bedroom, right next to Farrah Fawcett. My mother didn't approve of either.
