Ok so maybe I’m a little bit in love. on Flickr.

I’ve been wanting a motorcycle jacket for a few months, and happened upon one in a store that is the most obvious place to look for one but had never occurred to me. I thought about it afterward – throughout the burrito, the spy movie, and when I woke up the next morning.

New lining! on Flickr.

I Tumbl’d this jacket when I first got it a couple of years ago. I still love it as much as I did on the first night, but over time the admittedly crappy lining it came with got torn to shreds. I took it to a tailor in the Lower East Side a couple of weeks ago, and here we are. I originally wanted a Veuve-Clicquot shade of orange, but I was too impatient to go to a fabric store and this pewter satin looked like it could work. Now I can’t imagine it without this lining. Impeccable job.

I am so happy.: I bought this kind of on a whim last night, at Alter. I’ve been wanting a leather jacket for years, and keep not buying one because of how expensive they are. But, if I had just bought one when I first wanted it, it would have paid for itself by now. So, even though NY started getting warm today, I got it anyway. It’s recycled, made from scraps of old leather jackets. They are only made for girls, because there is not enough leather to make ones big enough for guys. A cool thing about this is that it’s already worn in. I almost slept in it last night. What really got me was the gold zipper. If anybody can point me toward this designer’s web site (the tag says “MF Clothing Company /Recycled Garment” / all I know is that he’s from Los Angeles), please let me know! All I can find through Google is stuff about mutual funds. Created with fd’s Flickr Toys.
