Poll: Would you wear a vintage overcoat with leather buttons? (Answer above)
A dapper older gentleman I know handed down to me one of his classic wool overcoats.
I must say, it's a damn good coat. It is twice as heavy and thick as my current "stylish" overcoat.
I thanked him b/c I know I will get some use out of it, as temperatures drop for winter.
This coat has leather buttons. I believe they are not SF approved, as they are outdated
(....along with other random fashion trends like long jackets, low gorges, and wide ties)
I then realized I had another installment of Cognitive Dissonance on my hands!
The idea of one gentleman passing along his heirloom jacket to the next generation is the ultimate in steam-punk wet-dream romanticism found on SF.
The groupthink adherence to stylish & current fashion trends is another.
So, please answer the poll above...
