@Mister_Brue
something unexpected happened
opening the package my wife recognized the jacket and immediately fell in love with it
I didn’t even had a chance to try it on.
fit is perfect on her
so she confiscated my jacket right away 🥲
as I don’t want to buy a second one I begged her to be allowed to wear it from time to time
and she agreed…
pics will follow -
@Daniel-San I know the feeling all too well. I wore the piglet once, and it was gone…

Im on the fence for this one.. looks like it has a nice fit and looks great, but do y'all feel it to be more like a shirt/overshirt vs wearing like a jacket? Does it feel pretty thin ? I wear Ben Davis half zip hickory shirts a lot and I think those are 7oz so this doesn’t seem much heftier than those, and those feel pretty thin to me
I also tend to mainly wear jackets at work to get extra pockets.
Bittersweet in a way because the lack of pockets would be nice for playing guitar and at work because I operate machinery (print shop), so not having too much going on in the front is a good thing, but also need to be able to put tools somewhere
I also wouldn’t mind adding some big bag pockets inside though, best of both worlds there

@bobbyg I wore mine a ton casually in the summer. It’s not particularly substantial, which is why it worked so well when it may have been too hot for heavier jackets (or shirts).
I don’t think I would get on very well with it at work either for the reasons you describe, but it would make one hell of a jacket for playing guitar. Niche.
-
@Mister_Brue right on, yea it makes more sense as a summer night jacket. And guitar seemed perfect, nothing at all on the right side. I’ve found some chips and scratches into the back of my guitar and realized it was from pocket rivets
Thanks for your insight! Definitely a cool piece so now that it’s winter I’ll think on it some more.Also, I can’t tell, is this a one off or does seasonal mean it will be made again? And anyone have a shots of fading on this bad boy??
-
@bobbyg I think this will be a one off.
I’ll have a look at mine when I get home, but I think it’s the same as when I first got it. -
@Mister_Brue haha thanks, curious mainly. I can’t imagine how hickory fades compared to denim, but my older Ben Davis shirts, no indigo, have faded out and do look good so I’m sure a quality piece like this will be cool. Also my Ben Davis shirts have gotten like crazy, t shirt soft so i wonder if this will too
