What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I don’t know… I really like that jacket too.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a solid piece. I look at vintage Sears this way:
Herc-Golden Era
Fieldmaster: Silver/Bronze age
Oakbrook: Bronze age
Leather Shop: Pig iron apocalypse

So while it’s a nice jacket, when I compare it to the multitude that have passed through, it’s definitely a tier below. Certainly not bad, but certainly not great. Those HH Hercs set the bar super high.

I have a Leather Shop cross-zip an old tenant left behind as garbage. Pig iron apocalypse indeed. It has a blown out arm seam. Part of me wants to get it fixed. It’s not the WORST jacket in the world and it fits me perfectly. I don’t think I’d ever wear it though.

From what I see at Instgram, Greg Field is doing a redskin B-3-clone as a collab piece with Carl Murawski. That one could be very hard to resist too...
I saw them on Instagram too. But I didn't get a "want to have feeling". And apart from that I don't like to wait >12 months lol
