    Your favorite movie quotes

    Ok this one's really meaningful to me. If you get it, you get it. From Locke (2013). "Stefan is a good man and will fix the pit and check the others. All twelve pumps will work. The stop-go will run. The north, south, east and west gates will all take their quarter of concrete. The baby will be...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Thank you GHT. Once upon a time I used to drive cars with manual transmissions and without power steering or even power brakes. I very well remember manual door locks and windows. I don't find manual window levers inconvenient ONE BIT. People seem to be dazzled by the technology, like they think...

    The way you document these jackets and their fit in photos. You've taken a lot of care with this. Dude.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    All the countless overengineered products redesigned for marketing purposes. Flip-top toothpaste tubes, when I was perfectly happy with the screw cap. Think about it - it's a flip top on a screw cap. Are you trying to confuse me? "Sealed for your protection!" Then the upside-down plastic...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    In the spirit of "So trivial yet it really ticks you off", how about coffee cans. You buy a can of coffee and it comes with a plastic lid. The lid doesn't fit tightly on the can. This is a perishable that wants to be kept in an airtight container. How many decades have they been doing this and...

    I'm impressed by so many things right now.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks. I did find that last week. There are an awful lot of pages there, and so many styles. I browsed enough to figure out that some of us take some of these vintage or vintage style denim jackets very, very seriously.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Being hunched over, glued to your phone while walking in public is a sign of low class, a sign that you're a peasant. I don't want to sound uppity, I don't really talk that way, but I can find no better way to say that. Personally I don't have a hard time avoiding the draw of constant...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That's what the mom (seller) said - her kid always rolled the sleeves. I think you must be right. I never would have thought they would ever design it that way - specifically to roll the sleeves. It must've been a thing, at some point. I'm comfortable with it right now. Hehe overcompensating I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Is this allowed here? Is Abercrombie denim forbidden on TFL? Please don't ban me. I'm new. I poked around Ebay, and just as I've always experienced, all the Levi's and Lee denim jackets were way short in the sleeve. I have long arms. Always felt left out. I found two Abercrombie jackets, both...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yes. I remember it made me a little angry, way back when I first started seeing people buy off-the-rack ripped & torn jeans. I said I used to have those jeans, but mine were genuinely worn, nearly worn out. I earned those rips and holes. But then... computer chips in cars made me angry too.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    No I think that's a perfectly cool combo. I usually wear a collared button-front shirt just because I feel underdressed in any old T-shirt, but my guilty pleasure in cooler weather is a waffle long sleeve T. I have a couple colors and a couple as a Henley style. That's what this sweater is...

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    This includes dressing in a manner that says "Yep, I just rolled out of bed in this" or "Wha-eva, I'll wear what I want" or "I don't give a rat's ass what anybody thinks".

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    Like people do in lots of online discussions, we can over-analyze this and try to pick it apart, put it under a microscope, come up with loads of secondary reasons and then work hard to justify those reasons in our minds and here in discussion, but I like to strip things down to simplest terms...

    I was considering that - I was going to ask Does the wood age somehow? Does age change its tone? Almost like a "curing". Interesting. The violin people would know about that I guess.

    Any old guitar? Or only an instrument owned & played by someone famous? - Which I suppose would give it provenance but not necessarily make it a better instrument... Or perhaps age increases its perceived value.

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    Outstanding question. Terrific answers. I had the same problem with wristwatches, for a time. Accidental pun, intentionally left in. Now it's jackets. Made a purchase this week. Then there's the Simmons Bilt one in the works, but beyond that I believe I can honestly say I'M DONE. I'll have some...
