My first painted jacket by Harp Player Gene

[RBH]

By none other than our very own Harp Player Gene! :eusa_clap

I told Gene I wanted a jacket with a Stetson Stratoliner theme, gave him a rough idea of what I was after.
I liked the idea of the old bomber jackets, and thought that one based on the old Stetson Stratoliner would work.
This his the result !!!!!
FANTASTIC job Gene!
I love it!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Wow Gene!

I'll bet you were painting rock band images on the back of jackets in high school.

Beautiful!!!

Very cool.

These are worth owning just as works of art to admire. Out of curiosity, do you often wear this jacket? Its a beauty and I wonder under what circumstances do you get to show it off. I think I'd be a bit too self-consious to wear outside of a narrow range of social situations. People might ask me if I was a pilot! haha. But that's just me.

I'm not an expert in outerwear, or anything outside the spectrum of hats. So I have an amateur's question for you guys. Wouldn't the paint wear off, or become damaged from water or rain, or chip off in some way? Or is it more of a display piece? I do love the artwork, especially for the Stratoliner themed jacket. Sign me up for one, Gene!

Check the old WWII painted jackets that are still around.
They have held up well.
But I am sure Gene could answer better than I could.
