You sold it for a reason and that's all that matters. On some days, that reason is clouded but it is still there.

I know. jackets come and go. Moving on to other stuff. It’s an ongoing exploration and collection of experiences. Some jackets stay longer than others, but they are all just passing through. Often when I look at pictures of stuff I used to own I don’t feel any regret. Other times I wonder why I passed it on. I do remember what my motives were but in the rear view mirror the motives seem weak. Surely, I can’t be the only one?

You are far from alone mate, I have some jackets I really wish I kept now when they're gone and some time passed, even though at the time it felt like the right thing was to pass it along(be it the fit, color or that I had something else on my mind I needed the dough for that made me sell), but I think that's very normal in a hobby like this! :)

Love that leather btw, is it the Cocoa Buffalo?(I think I remember you telling me before, but my memory is crazy bad haha)

Well... Now I don't understand why you moved it lol! Goes so well here with the rest of the ensemble. What do you have as an alternative?

I think it’s the cocoa buffalo, so your memory worked this time :)
True, it is part of the search and the journey.

I think that outfit is probably one of my top three outfits of all time. Sadly I don’t have anything similar right now. No aviators… not even one.

Awesome thanks! I'm glad I went with that for my MTC-1279720 after seeing how gorgeous it looked in your picture :D

Theodoros knows how to get a vintage look out of a jacket

The green One? Oh no!! I wasn’t aware. What an odd idea…

Ah, ok, you still have that one, right?!

Yes, sometimes I move stuff, forget about the episode and start looking a few years down the road. When I remember it’s gone, I make peace with it. I have enough stuff and consider my lucky that I was able to handle even more.

There are two thing I do regret selling: an irreplaceable wristwatch and an irreplaceable sports car. I had good reason for the sales, and I’d probably do it all over again. Still I miss both even after years.

Simply amazing sir!! That's how to make a cross-zip/double breasted leather jacket work with a tie & white shirt!
