First Jean Jacket in 20 years.!!!

Worf · Jul 26, 2012

Just a "used" Lee Jacket from off the Bay, but it fits nice now that I can wear 2X instead of 3X. When I hit a Size 48 LOOK OUT!

Looks good indeed. Any pics of the tag? I got one too and I can finally fit into it - but it has a blanket lining and is way too hot for now.
How much weight did you lose? Congrat's! Just get ready to buy more clothes. I gave my last bags to Good Will yesterday!

I felt a little nostalgic and started looking at Levi's jackets on the bay one night when I couldn't sleep. Didn't pull the trigger though. Looks like that is a good fit. You must maintain that routine to keep off the weight. If you are exercising or weight training, the extra muscle you build will help burn a few extra calories as well.

Nice cigar. Don't get the ashes on your new jacket. Continued success with your diet.

Looks good... nice attitude!

Fine looking jacket Worf!, there is a very nice used 50" Russet jerky horse A2 on the Aero used section! tempted?

ButteMT61 · Jul 26, 2012

I've got a nice 50 Aero A-2 with jerky seal HH and berry knits. She's up on the block too

It's more of a 48+ though. Time to start spending Worf's money!

Hi Worf.....................hey man, I can see your weight reduction. Good job. Nice jacket too.

You standing next to vintage T-Bird?

Regards,
coffee

Worf · Jul 26, 2012

Yeah that's my 1956 Goldenglow Yellow T-Bird. 312 "Y" Block V8 (the Power AND the Glory). Sorry Butte no pics of the tag but I'll look later. I was up to 350 lbs and Type II Diabetes. I'm now more'n a "Happy Meal" into "2FoundLand" and fitting into 2X instead of 3X. I lift so my chest and arms are still about a 52 as opposed to a whatever it used to be.

One more pic!

When I can't sleep, I get up and stare at Joel's new avatar. Talk about burning a few extra calories!

I bought her 25 years or so ago for under 10 large through Hemmings Motor News (pre-internet) from a guy in Costa Mesa Californa. I redid the breaks, tranny and put in a stainless steel exhaust. It's a "driver" no 100 point trailer queen. I had a choice at the time between the T-Bird and Jaguar XK-120 Drop Head. My boss at the time a sweet old cat from the Pacific Northwest said:

"Sure the Jag is prettier... sex standing still... BUT with the Ford you'll know it'll run, first time every time!"

Dana (God rest his soul) was absolutely right. I went with the Yellow Bird. Remember now, I picked this up BEFORE I got a kid, mortgage and all the other money pits of modern life and have managed somehow to hold on to her.

Glad I'm not the only one who likes yellow cars

And what might that car be? Lemme see man... give, share!!!!

Peacoat · Jul 28, 2012

I have a very similar (maybe just like it) Levi jacket I bought about 20 years ago. Got a lot more wear on it now, but it still fits--I think

Edit Note: Oh yea, I like the yellow T-bird also. Looks like about a 1957? I friend of mine in high school had one that was red. I actually think it belonged to his Dad, but he claimed it as his. It was a real girl magnet.
