Your "significant" jacket?
Hi All, I don't post often but have been checking the forum quite a few times a day for a few years. I wonder how many of us have purchased "significant" jackets - ones that made a real difference to our future purchases, style appreciation, shifted our jacket interests etc.? For example, for...- Striver

Under our jackets?
Hi All, I don't often post... but I've been meaning to get some advice about under jacket attire for a while, so I'm pleased this subject has been raised! I like mostly jackets that end just about on my jeans belt: but cold times are coming.... I need to find pullovers/sweaters that I can wear...- Striver

Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?
I also focus/obsess/be down too much on what are, in reality, small defects in things. Someone once said to me, after I was unhappy with a "fault' in a bit of home joinery I'd just finished, "You can see that today... you won't see it tomorrow" Sense thinking like that I thought.- Striver

Crumple or Hang?
Very interesting and varied attitudes to jacket storage. Thanks All. My vintage jackets are always given the very best treatment: hung with care in the wardrobe. Other jackets, usually recent, inexpensive, though good quality, motorcycle jackets (bought in charity shops), get the crumpling...- Striver

Crumple or Hang?
Hi All, I have 11 leather jackets - all of which I consider valuable to me (though some were cheap to buy and none were very expensive). Some of them I hang in the wardrobe on suitable hangers (taking some care that the hem/ bottom zip parts are lined up!).... whilst some I crumple up and fling...- Striver

Cross zips / D pockets, discussion starter...
Hi dan_t, Well I am over 40.… significantly over 50... and a little over 60... and I wear 'em! Could be some people think I'm weird, strange or foolish... but I like wearing them. I always think about this quote about our one life... "This is not a rehearsal". Striver- Striver

A jacket that changed my life
That is absolutely spot on. Much in our societies is bland or barely adequate. A well made, attractive jacket can be appreciated... and it needn't be associated with great expense/ designer status: vintage clothing (especially leather) has durability which can afford the wearer a connection with...- Striver

Great stuff, Married Hermit! Exactly the sort of way a mere (though in your case, beautiful) jacket can change the way we live!- Striver

A jacket that changed my life
Hi GHT, Great story! Shame about that expensive jacket... but the one you got to replace it... ☺️ For info. you can visit the old police cells under Brighton Town Hall and see the graffiti on the cell walls left by those "apprehended" way back then!- Striver

A jacket that changed my life
Hi Peacoat, No, not in the "fitting on the shoulders" way, more in the "that looks like an old jacket that you've thrown on which clearly wasn't made for you but looks fine 'cos it's an old one" way!- Striver

A jacket that changed my life
Hello Everyone! First Post by a long term (5 yr) lurker. I'm pleased to now be a member of this Lounge! I thought my first post might be to list my 11 leather jackets and say a little about each... but that might not be as interesting as this.... My first leather jacket was a "yellow/orange...- Striver
