but you can reverse it and it looks just like the common ma-1 that sold out pretty quickly, without the arm pocket.

but yes the inside would still be very ugly.

It's still like $300 for a polyester jacket, not awful if you liked it but hardly a steal for something you have to wear inside-out...

The sparrow print is cool, why would you want to wear that inside out and look like a garbage bag. You sound like very boring people.

I love the sparrow print, especially the flecks of blue on the beaks. If it's not great in person I'll return it but not planning on wearing it inside out.

Exactly. Classic case of closet dysmorphic disorder, nobody needs that much basics, you're not in prison.

Also, slim MA-1 are great but people just need to calm down with the fitted everything at some point. Buy some cheap ones on ebay, say yes to volume and puffiness. Be happy.

I bought far too many basics. I wear like 3 t shirts over and over pretty much so all those basics are now my younger brothers.

If they make an extralong version of heat-tech ill pretty much be set forever (might just get an xl)

Your tune will change when you're no longer living at home and have to pay every time you want to use the washing machine. I have around 12 t-shirts or so and really I could use some more.

I'm not really a fan of having huge amounts of basics either but I don't see how that's discordant with not liking that jacket.

How does saying a particular print is ugly = "only buy basics?" I have nothing against prints, own a number of prints myself but that sparrow from far away looks like ugly Halloween decorations and up close looks like it belongs on a room divider.

Hopefully ill be a doctor by then and without wife/kids, so money will not be an issue!
