Did Futurama not make it's way to Sweden?

That meme equates your emoji in terms of meaning.

To your question, were you in fact inquiring as to why I would be wearing headphones?

Seriously though. That jacket looks good on you. However, I feel as though you've already identified your grail in the Joe Mccoy roughout trucker. So my recommendation would be to keep on hunting until you get exactly what you want. With or without headphones. ?

This jawnz hunter has laid his rifle to rest.

I think it looks decent, though obviously there are some issues. Feel like you're not gonna be totally satisfied, though, until you get exactly what you want, so you might as well save that money for the real thang.

Levi's suede Type 3 off The Bay.

Snug measurements all around and I probably couldn't button if I stop working out again, but I dig it. Not vintage, based on the label, but I don't think I'd fit any vintage models. May be a second, as the right pocket was stitched up into the shoulder instead of over the breast.

Tried removing the stains with some Omnidaim and a shower spritz. May try Omni Nettoyant at some point, but they don't really bother me.

100% of all trucker jackets are unbuttoned. Just sayin’.

I really do like the fit of the nine lives “Dirty Birds” Shinki suede jacket: https://ninelivesbrand.com/products/the-dirty-bird-double-riders-jacket-black

The last time I bought a leather was in December 2019. It might be time.

So I got my IH back from advanced European tailors and have been wearing it around. The work they did is excellent and I can’t tell the sleeves were altered at all. The silhouette of the sleeve even seems the same.

He decided to take them up at the cuff end and move the zippers up. He said the underarm gussets make it more difficult to do at the shoulder. Total cost was $135, and I’m very pleased.

It's also apparently a suede, and not a roughout, which I much prefer for durability, but I am looking again.

Wait, how did you set that up? I emailed them several times and never heard anything back. I've got a jacket I'd love to alter.
