I'd give it my damndest, Nick! I never back down from a sartorial challenge. Except, perhaps, cowboy boots.

Stop while you're ahead. I'll wear the boots for you lol

I'm now going to have to track one of these things down aren't I? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!

I took a look at one of the Hippy Jackets at Galashiels last year, but (unfortunately) the XL size was too small. I asked Holly earlier this year about doing a bigger one, but Ken said no.

I do like the style a lot, but (alas) it didn't happen.

Any idea why it is called a "Hippie Jacket"? All the pocket for stashing drugs in?
Looks like something an octopus would wear.

Afraid I'm a small, and I really couldn't justify it, otherwise...

Man, that's just fugly. Maybe an outdoorsman or fisherman, but for the average Joe? No how, no way. Shaft, maybe. lol

Actually, I think a nice Stuart tartan lining or something similar would've been suitably psychedelic.

I've been told that if you have nothing nice to say, - don't say anything, but IMHO that jacket is just nasty-ugly!:eeek:

"Man, that jacket is a real trip." I say with my best impersonation of Cheech.

 

[Sloan1874]

Actually, if I could persuade Aero to make something similar to the Little Wing. Forgot how much I liked this design...

Or somebody with a serious pocket fetish. Makes me think of udders.

So that's where AL got the idea from!!

Sit still long enough.... it'll be back or sold used. Something that "unusual" will get sold and resold as the owners get a look at themselves in it or tire of the snickers behind their backs. Just because you CAN do a thing doesn't mean it should be done!

[Sloan1874]

Cruel, so cruel.

I'm all for it. I think the lighting (Of the Japanese models) makes the jacket much oranger than it actually is. Just a guess.
Part of the appeal for me, at least, IS the fact that its kind of goofy. But other than that, I will put money down that it looks alright in person. I also have a rather big 1960s fetish.
