What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Superfluous]

This Imperial looks longer than usual. Did you request a longer jacket? Look great (esp. the slim sleeves); just asking.

Yes, its a tad longer.

Can you bring that Imperial to the meetup? I'd like to touch it. Maybe take a few selfies wearing it. I'll be careful to not get any drool on it...

NP Nick. Happy to let you borrow it -- I think we are a similar size.

The Vietnam Era Travis Bickle *taxi-driver* style US combat Jacket...the story goes that I passed on one before x-mas and thought $40 Was a decent price but I know I could easily find myself one for less than half and Just had to do nothing but wait. Sure enough the other Day I was in Salvation Army and a nice fitting Grubby looking one caught my eye..and a whopping Six Dollars later here we are.

Technically January is here, and I should be buried under snow right now but its a swimming pool out there.

This one is China made. Neither of these Alpha jackets are works of art, but truthfully, I've enjoyed them both. Wearing them a lot more than leather as of late. There's a lot to be said about a good cloth/nylon jacket. Of course leather is king but the non-leather jackets are almost as gratifying. In some ways I'd argue they're more easy-going and less fussy than leather. Not to mention cheaper!

Is that a Golden Era band? Weren't they the opening act for Frank Sinatra?

Television's "Marquee Moon."

The nicest jacket I've seen you wear Nick. I'd be interested in hearing how the nylon fabric compares to the alpha.
