What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Superfluous]

Add a straw cowboy hat and some dusty work boots, and you could stand around the Home Depot parking lot and look like you were waiting for someone to hire you for day labor!

I am not sure that if that is a compliment . . . or something else . . . I will assume the best and say thank you. I guess this is an example of what we have been discussing in the "Footwear" thread. Today, I am wearing a day laborer costume.

It is rather ironic that, when wearing a Chimala henley, Omnigod jeans and a Rogue Territory selvedge jean jacket, I am directed to Home Depot for employment. All I need is a cardboard sign that reads:

WILL WORK FOR WORK WEAR

ICW = I see willy
FM = Funk me
BL = Be lazy
TG = Ta gueule
HR = Heart Rate

Ezpz!

I swear we have to put out a dictionary for us poor newbies to social media. I have no idea what ICW. FM. BL.TG. HR. means either.

It took me a while to figure out what FQHH, CXL, JC, LW, ELMC, ELC, GLWS, GW, RMC, SB, 50 Cal, A-1, A-2,

the word was in chaos, but on the 8th day God created emoticon.praise the lord

Amen.

Too easy.

See, we millennials are good for something after all...

What a bizarre thing to say to a person.

What a bizarre thing to say to a person.

It's actually a compliment on how realistically the brand new, high-end coat and jeans are distressed, aged and designed. The jacket, in particular, looks like it has spent time in field, ranch or factory, and been hand washed and lined dried a number of times. Nails the well worn, antique, vintage look.

Apologies to Superfluous if my post came across as critical.

some harmless jab against workwear costume lately , all fine and in good spirit, at least until someone starts wearing pocket square on his denim jacket.

Did we really have to throw French argot into the mix. TG? Callate. ....CT?

Exactly. Sometimes attempts at light-hearted humor on the internet can fail, because you can't transmit the tone of voice and the twinkle in your eye. Hence the winky emoticon.

looks great, just how I like them. Long and loose. I bet it is comfy too. I don't need a sign at this point. I do work for work wear (leather jackets).

Yes, intonation, and humor can easily be misinterpreted with this medium. I wonder sometimes if I use the smiley face too much.

i like millennials. My daughter and all her friends are millennials. We just don't always speak the same language. They called it the "generation gap" when I was young. This conflict between each successive generation has been probably going on forever. "Why you kids these days".

Rogue Territory Supply Jacket looks pretty cool to me.

Couldn't find a distressed one, but if I were going for it, I would let it fade from new as I wore it.

Great pictures by the way.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

That's not the same jacket either..

 

[jonesy86]

Yeah, I double checked, and your right, just the same name and maker. @SuperperFlous has one that is much nicer than the latest model.

It's hard to keep up.

Wearing my tony nowark "surrogates" jacket today. Got this from another member on filmjackets i think around two years ago... I love love love this jacket. I know others may prefer their Aeros and what not (which may be better quality), I think this is such a unique jacket as this was supposedly made custom to another customer, then on sold to a forum member, then sold to me... which somehow fits me perfectly. Also love the internal pockets it has (two on the left (one of them with zip), one on the right). Really love the thick but supple cowhide chosen.

Again sorry for the crappy selfies as it my wife would certainly roll her eyes big time if I asked her to take pics of me wearing these jackets lol.
