What Jacket Did You Take To The Beach Today?

I got this CAL in the mail and immediately went outlaw and drove my Prius 27 mph in a 25 mph zone down the hill to the beach.

Jonesy, your taste in lids and jackets is only exceeded by the scenery in your pics.

one of the most epic Cal fits ever. And you have no idea how close you are to reality. The Cal shop in Ventura was probably only handful of blocks from the beach. The new shop as well is about half mile.

Have you ever had a beach party for all of your jackets? I would love to see the reaction of people with you and all of your jackets hanging on beach chairs at the beach.

I need a whole lot more beach chairs. TFL Leather Jacket meetup Kauai 2022?

That fits great. Truly. Awesome Cal to start with too.

Haha thanks! I certainly did. Already doing my best to do that, but it doesn't hurt to have that advice reinforced. Much appreciated!

Wiser words have never been written.

I learned the hard way. Throughout my failed first marriage, I endeavored to prove that I was right. In other words, I was a terrible husband.

With my second marriage, I acquiesce 99.999% of the time . . . even when she is wrong. It ain't worth the fight. In return, she treats me exponentially better than my first wife. The correlation is undeniable. I also thank my wife every day for compromising and settling on a husband well below what she deserves and could have obtained had she held out for better.

I don't know, we all have our experiences but I think you just married a fantastic woman the second time around. Finding the balance is the key but acquiescing to everything, in my extremely limited experience, doesn't lead to equality, which is the foundation of respect.

Girl that I was very happy with would get very angry at me acquiescing to everything, reasoning that she is perfectly capable of realizing when she is wrong, but rarely of admitting it and that my reluctance to pursue the (obvious) truth makes me seem dishonest and that, to her, was worse than anything.

That and self-deprecating humor I would sometimes resort to in the past; She said once it stays with her and makes her think of me that way. "Words shape reality" she'd say...

Suppose i want to chime in with my marital advice (20 years in.)
Marry your best friend. Treat her the way you want to be treated. Laugh often.

Advice for women marrying a TFL member.

-Give him all of the closet space he wants now. He will reward you in the future by taking more.
-When he mentions "I really don't need to buy this leather jacket," insist he buy it..or better yet, buy it and surprise him.
-When he asks, "Does this leather jacket fit properly?" give him steady assurance it does, even if you know differently. Avoid discussing jacket length at all costs.
-Pay attention to the details and let him know you noticed. He will glow when you do. For instance, a zipper is not "just another zipper."
-When he cannot decide upon the build of his next custom jacket, don't try to be a problem solver. Just sit and listen to the rationalizations and focus on listening. Remember...men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and TFL members are from another galaxy altogether.
