Mister Freedom Campus Jacket (Pic Heavy)

[Worf]

Well I think the jacket is gangbusters and I'd wear hell out of it myself if I could pull it off. I'd have had mine lined though...

just bought one of these second hand (not this particular one) and think it's pretty amazing. with the warm LA weather, this definitely will get more wear than my Aero Bootlegger I have for sale. I think it fits pretty well and I lean toward tan shoes, so this should be quite versatile for me. Pics:

Jacket looks fantastic but that bulky wallet and phone

@konadog looks stellar, my dude. I just couldn't get over the front drop (or lack thereof) on mine. Personal presence and nothing else. This pattern continues to be on my top somethingoranother list of favorites. Just think it looks better on others

phone is for business, wallet is for buying more hats and jackets

Bretron, couldn't disagree more. It's a low-key jacket that looks great on you.
I suspect you just need to keep it a while and get used to it.

Not a lot of folks can wear that jacket, but you can. At least I thought that when you posted the fit pics. those style, fit jackets like this look the best on your size. As a 44 that jacket is too much on me. You it fits, size, color all.

I thought too to ask about how you wear a jacket like this? I see there is a culture in the final tanning of the hide. This, as Tea Core, is completely new and unknown to me until this forum.

Is there fear in wearing or you just abandon notice of marks, scuffs, wear? It isn't meant to stay "nice" like new, correct?

I was tempted to try it myself.

I'm really quite into the Tea Core and what I called "Brown Core". The Himel, the BK. And I would have never guessed I would like that process, but it does become a creation, like breaking in

Maybe you already sold it. Maybe not for you. I know the feeling.

It's a very cool piece if you feel you can pull it off.....I couldn't.

Is it worth giving it a bit more time or are you 100% convinced it isn't for you?

To me, this looks grubby. I would be embarrassed to wear it in public. Maybe doing chores around a ranch or farm would be okay, but it's kinda expensive for that.

Um... leather can be cleaned...

 

[Phil4]

That's really nice looking leather. Definitely looks like a higher end product.

I would definitely want a jacket like this to progress to the next stage of the process:

I would be extremely dissatisfied if it stayed orange for long, but that warm brown...OMG

 

[konadog]

i know this jacket is not for everyone, but it has quickly become my favorite article of clothing (and i own a lot of stuff)

 

[handymike]

That's exactly the way to wear it Kdog!

+1!

Looks great and you got the swagger I didn't. Just felt too damn self-conscious in it (for whatever reason). Keeper 100%

I've been a huge fan of this shawl/peter pan style collar jacket for a long time. I really want one. Yours looks amazing @konadog. You wear it very well!
