What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Colin G]

Really cool, Corky.

I'm gonna do that to all of my shirts. They're all too long and I don't like it.

I had my mom do that to a bunch of my denim shirts years ago. Back when you could still find nice, old denim shirts at the thrift store, before the hipsters got wise to vintage denim.

I'm only 5' 8" so all shirts look long on me no matter what.

Still plenty of 'em in Europe. I bought five really cool vintage Levi shirts just last year but yeah, even though I'm a tiny bit taller, they all look long on me. I don't like stuffing shirts into trousers and I don't like them hanging under the jacket. Or in general. I'm not too fond of that normie look either. I'll just shorten them all to denim jacket length and to hell with it.

That's what's up!

I'm 5'9 and often have many of my shirts shortened. I sometimes get lucky and find that some Japanese brand shirts run short enough. The trade-off is that most Japanese brands are pretty expensive.

You seem to be hiding the cuffs, are the sleeves too short..??

No, they're on the long side. Just trying to find a natural stance HD.

What does Skookum mean or represent?

Skookum is a Chinook Jargon word that has historical use in the Pacific Northwest. It has a range of meanings, commonly associated with an English translation of "strong" or "monstrous". The word can mean "strong",[1]"greatest", "powerful", "ultimate", or "brave". Something can be skookum, meaning "strong" or "monstrously significant". When used in reference to another person, e.g., "he's skookum", it conveys connotations of reliability or a monstrous nature, as well as strength, size or hard-working.

I guess that makes Jejupe, Ton & Boyo the skookums of the Lounge

I really dig that jacket, it's awesome. Fits you great. But I'd just like to know what the dogo is thinking...

IH 21oz vest. Love this thing. Thicker denim than anything else I own. This and my Vanson Octagon/X150 vest will be my go-to summer outerwear.

The Naked and Famous jacket also came in and it also checks all the boxes for me.

The Buffalo Thedi Phenix is breaking in nicely and Carrie was correct, as it becomes less stiff it’s draping better and doesn’t look as big is it did initially. Here it is without layering under it, not a slim fit but I don’t think it looks a size too big?

I had never seen Buffalo leather before, it has very nice grain and looks great. It is a touch stiff when you first put it on on a cold day but warms up quickly and then moves more freely similar to some HH I have had in the past.

 

[sweetfights]

Look like a perfect fit ProteinNerd.
It is real easy to get use to thinking things have to fit tight.
