A serious Denim-warning to the youngsters!

[Trenchfriend]

If you accidently step through a type 3 jacket portal, you will NEVER be seen again, I tell you!!

If you have one, you will have a handful, some times later...
Always rememver that!

Thankfully I'm not a Levi's kinda guy, because I prefer hand warmer pockets that aren't practically behind me.
I like Wranglers and Big Smith , but j haven't tried Lee yet.
If one really gets into denim jackets It may not matter which brand / patterns you go for, because they all seem to have nuances and there are endless takes on all of them.

I prefer Wranglers and Big Smith pattern jackets, not sure about Lee because I've never really delved into them.

The problem, we have in Germany, is the permanent presence of well-made storebrand type 3 jackets for usually 40 bucks, A-quality level.
Tell me, how long could you resist??

Lee Rider knock-offs are seldom, but happen, too.

That depends where they're made.

Really , for $40 I would be looking for whatever reason I could to not buy because that's definitely a tempting price.

My actual reason to not getting more type 3s is the fact of having already all desired colours.

Of course they're usually Turkey-made, China-made. But I wouldn't wonder, if some of the unmarked could be Italian-made. The Bangladesh-made are usually lower quality levels.

Italy is still one of the big players in textile, a fact, which is not well know, today.

Yeah the Bangladesh stuff is not that great.
I've got a flannel lined wrangler I bought new about 10 years ago.
It was a size too big and there are other things I dislike about it these days, so it's now just a dedicated chore coat for yard work and working / cleaning up my shop.
Plenty of stains and grime...etc all over it.
It's held up but the denim is not very good.

Plain old black type 3?? Freakin' good!

Also, you look twenty years younger and twenty kilograms lighter...
