The downside to cleaning and organizing my garage/workshop is that now my wife can easily find and "borrow" tools.

Can Iron Heart stop turning out nice shirts. I don't need any more, but am currently tempted by the IHSH-129, IHSH-139, IHSH-142, and IHSH-145. The IHSH-141 looks nice too.
Then there's a bunch of PBJ stuff that @Danny RnH is stocking.
Look, I've just become unemployed. (And given the way the job was going, that's a relief.) I can't afford all this right now!

When speaking about clothes or a clothing item and someone says, "I wish I did X so I could justify getting Y."
I've noticed this come up most often with respect to leather jackets and motorcycle jackets in particular. Cannot say how many times I've heard, " I wish I rode a motorcycle so I could justify buying a leather jacket".
Makes me wonder if the same person wishes they were a rower so they could wear henleys, a train engineer so they could wear engineer boots, a miner so they could wear Iron Rangers, a cowboy so they can wear western shirts, etc. etc.
I suppose this falls in line with what a user said awhile back about hypocrisy…. I believe it may have been Mega?

I'm a 100% with you. We once had a biker customer bitch about a non motorbike rider wearing a leather jacket ("how dare a lowly non-rider wear a leather jacket?") . The biker in question was wearing Chippewa Roofers, so I politely asked him why he wasn't actually roofing the feckin house…..

^ that is funny. And by funny I mean I hate that kind of elitist bullshit so much it makes my teeth itch. By that logic, nobody should wear denim unless they are working in it. Preferably in the American west around 130 years ago. Bellendery.

shit, I wear my IH gear to teach fitness classes at a gym and sitting behind a computer marketing vacation rentals… I'm the epitome of a person not using the gear for what it was intended hahaha
Plus, for some of us, if we actually had a motorbike to keep up with, we might not be able to buy leather jackets at all! haha

Humans have been wearing animal skins long before the internal-combustion engine was invented. So motorcyclists should get it out of their heads that leather jackets were made exclusively for them.
I'll wear what the fuck I want, when I want! (This is an 08:20 rant, as I have the dentist in an hour.

Regards the leather jacket for bikers thing, I've been riding for over 20yrs and in that time I've only occasionally worn a leather jacket for riding, preferring armoured goretex/kevlar ones for the majority of my journeys. When I did wear a leather jacket, it wasn't the sort of jacket you'd want to wear casually since it had armour in the shoulders, elbows and back, and was plastered with logo's! For me, any style of leather jacket that doesn't feature body armour is for casual wear.

^ that's a good point in general. In this day and age you can (and should) get high spec technical clothing for most physically rigorous/dangerous hobbies, sports and disciplines. Relying on 21oz cotton and tanned horse butt to save your arse from being smeared all over the tarmac would be silly.
