What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I got 2 words for you, Tony:
PU...IG
I'm not going to lie...I'm scared. The Dodgers are looking like the best team in baseball by a country mile. 104? regular season wins and they made quick work of the d-backs. Our pitching is questionable, hitting is cold...Barely survived the Nationals... All I know is I'm running on about 4 hours sleep and my only goal for today is to survive work and eat a pizza while lying down when I get home. Oh and slog down a couple pints of Bells Brown Ale.

Sunny, sort of, and cool morning. I hear it's supposed to rain later. Zero King Twill Wool Jacket out of the '60s.

All wool with wool tartan lining that I didn't get a photo of, half belt, action back, huge pockets

Have a great Friday,

I agree with the other response. A great jacket styled as a Norfolk jacket for hunting. Very nice indeed.

Helps you project an aura of forceful and intimidating power.

I bet your kids like to climb all over you and cuddle you, when you wear this jacket! THEY know you're a big teddy bear!

I really like those boots, what are they?
They do seem to look for hugs more when I'm wearing the grizzly. I just have to watch out for the sticky fingered little ones if they've been eating. The boots are White's Farmer Rancher boots.

Just got my first black leather jacket. Now I'm bad! It's a used jacket, and might just be a little too short, but it's mine!

But I have a question. It was listed as "only a couple of months old worn 2-3 times so it's like new". Then why is it so rumpled, creased and crinkly looking?

What's the hide? I suspect that statement was aimed at perhaps exaggerating the actual condition. Although from the pics it's hard to tell much if anything about it's condition. Looks good from here tho. Not too short to my eye.

The pictures are horrible sorry. Also, I forgot to put in a smiley face. :) The hide is beautiful textured Shinki. I couldn't be happier. As for the length, I am just not used to the cut of the jacket. I think it's a keeper. :D

Thanks!
