you need 1 of everything in black, and 1 of everything in brown
Haha...Man, you guys are funny with all the "run while you still can..." warnings! Duly noted. But, well, too late I suppose....
See, as I mentioned at first, I ordered this jacket as a fit jacket, but because it worked so well I kept it. However, since I had prepared in my mind to get a custom jacket (the leather on this fit jacket wasn't my first choice, but I do love it...don't get me wrong...), I put down a deposit on a custom Hooch Hauler as well. So I have the HH coming in the fall...and if that goes well, I have plans to return to this premier-pattern jacket style (and thus this post about fit, as in my best case scenario, the accumulation of 3 or 4 jackets is about the variety of leather/color, rather than chasing a fictional notion of "perfect" fit)..
Anyway, while this might be a rabbit-hole obsession that is perhaps a bit unhealthy, at least for the time being it is much easier on my mind and wallet than the watch and tailored clothing habit it is replacing...haha (but it also fills a needed utility function for me as well, so...).
I guess there is just a certain "collector" personality that some folks have (me), for better or worse, where, it's as much about the research and 'hunt' as it is in the actual "having" perhaps?
Again, thanks for all the tips!
