You should have showered whilst wearing the jacket with the fringes and then without the fringes and compared drying time...
I thought you where a scientist Mike, you let us all down!

I think you could have definitely worn these with fringe. It suits you.
I would even be inclined to say that the jacket comes better in the pictures with fringes than without.

I didn’t say the story had a happy ending.

I haven’t worn it (except for TFL photos).

Owen Wilson pulled it off for the Royal Tennenbaums!

I think you could rock one too, Corky.

I'd wear one for dress-up but not as part of my core look. I'd own the shit outta it when I did wear it though. So fun and iconic.

There are a lot of very funny quotes on this forum. But every once and awhile there are some that ACTUALLY make me laugh out loud. This was one of them. My all time favorite was from Ton. He had a pic of a REALLY, REALLY bad stitch line on a TRD jacket. Ton quoted the worker as saying "eff it, close enough." Still gets a chuckle from me when I think about it.

@Marc mndt , something to consider. Currently on Grailed.
It's got fringe, it's two tone, side laces, elastic back, tails... Literally everything.

This has to be more waterproof than Gore-Tex.
Tails are a very nice touch.

Damn, how can you top actual tails on your jacket? Are those the standard 14oz tails? Or the heavier 22oz tails? lol.

Fringed buckskin jackets were a big subculture clothing item in certain parts of the UK back in the 80’s..would consider the Schott tan version, I like a fringed jacket. The ‘tails’ over here were a Mod item that flew from the whip aerial…..my Vespa not being a dodgem or bumper car doesn’t have one…

Unfortunately, this dweeb ruined the fringe jackets for me.

You call him a dweeb and yet I see you have a treasured autographed photo of him!

We have put it off for a while now, but we may finally have to take a vote to kick you out of the band before we go on tour.

I never did watch Easy Rider or care about the water wicking properties (if any)...I just think the fringe looks cool. Not "daily driver" material, but something for when the right mood strikes. There's a certain western and rock and roll vibe that comes with it.

I tried to stop him…

Fringe has to be one of the stupidest looking things in the known world. I hate this more than mixing black and brown leathers, double denim, and skinny jeans combined.
