Why don't we face it.
These nice, young guys are just in the wrong forum.
Nothing wrong with their choice of jackets or what they want to spend on something, which just isn't what it tries to be.
We are just too old fashioned to see it.
We believe in history, design, stitch by stitch accuracy. We faint at the sight of plastic or words like "artificial leather".
We would rather spend hours and weeks searching the internet or flea markets for that one, special, authentic zipper, than go into a high end fashion store and dump some cash.
We just don't get it!
We can tell them again and again about real Irvins and real A2's - but they don't care.
They want fashion and the security that comes with wearing a brand. Our brands are different. They are out of style to them.
Names like Irvin, Links, Wareings, IAC or Dots doesn't mean a thing.
We are out of date. They are hot. We are not.
Best of luck guys! Enjoy your jackets.
Cheers!
Yes, I personally find the jacket to look very cool, but I never thought you guys were out of date ! I was aware where I was posting and enjoyed the opinions all of you shared which helped me in some ways. I highly respect your values of history, authenticity and accuracy and by no means I wanted this jacket to replace any existing one. As I wanted to be sure the jacket will last, I was mostly hoping for comparison and advice regarding technics, materials, stitching, construction, thickness, etc.
