I love it. These are the reasons I love my jean jacket:
a) My jean jacket is stylish. So stylish it makes ME look stylish. Especially when I wear it while sporting aviator sun glasses. HI-YA!
b) My jean jacket is super practical. A light spring jacket? Why sure! A nice casual outer layer to compliment an ensemble? Heck yes, that too! It can double as an outdoor outer-layer AND an indoor outer-layer. I LOVE that. The jean jacket's transitionability (hooray for new words) makes it kinda like transition lens for glasses except MUCH less dorky. No need to swap sunglasses for indoor glasses and no need to swap a jacket for a cardigan when moving outdoors to indoors this jacket CAN DO IT ALL.
c) My jean jacket is DURABLE. I like to give the impression that I'm ready for anything. Kind of like Bear Grylls. You know, like at any moment I could be shoved out of some moving vehicle and do ok by finding a water source and following it to civilization (but not before battling the elements, eating some gross stuff and building a hammock out of praire grass). Now, I'm not wholly sure if I were ever shoved out of a helicopter into the African bush that I would be ok, but this jacket? Would totally survive. This jacket could do battle with a mountain lion. This jacket could wrestle an alligator. This jacket could tame a wild horse. AND this jacket makes me feel a little bit like I could do those things when I wear it. This jacket makes me feel WAY more tough than I actually am. In short...this jacket is sort of like my mini bat suit.
Which brings me to...
d) This jacket HAS SO MANY POCKETS. There are TWO front flap-y pockets. TWO front "put your hands in me" pockets AND (ready for it?) TWO pockets on the INSIDE. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE pockets on the INSIDE of a jacket. I have no idea why, but they just make me so very happy. It's like a secret hiding place. It's like an extra-special spot for my extra-important stuff. And I have to come clean and be totally honest and tell you that the real reason I love this jacket of many pockets INCLUDING pockets on the inside is that....
Well, it's as close as I am EVER going to get to running around wearing a utility belt.
Each pocket in the jean jacket has a specific purpose and a specific thing that goes in it....just like a utlity belt.
Anything can be whipped out at a moments notice and is always at the ready....just like a utlity belt.
Utility belts are awesome. I would absolutely wear one if it were socially acceptable. Since it's not, this jacket is as close as I'm going to get. It works under the guise of being a "jacket" and keeping me "warm" in "semi-cool situations" but is secretly my utility belt. Shhhh don't tell society. I'll be kicked out!
I LOVE my jean jacket because it is my bat suit and utility belt AND Bruce Wayne "lookin' good" fashion piece ALL IN ONE.
