first off, i live in canada, in a large metro city, and we dont have that varsity jacket culture and all the baggage that comes with it. i want to wear one because i like the look, a plain one, like this:
note that i am not the athletic type by any means, just tall and thin and likes clothes. i think it looks good, and other people tells me it looks good when i try on some jackets in stores, but i did some reading on the internet about these jackets and there are was so much vitriol, saying stuff like you are a grown up loser if you wear it past high school and you want to relive your past sports days and you are a dumb jock and there was even a post about a korean being spit on by people who wear these varsity jackets.
so what is the deal with these varsity jackets? should i even bother wearing one? i mean one time i wore my moto LJ and a guy asked me if i ride, i told him no, but i didn't mind him asking, i assumed he was just genuinely curious. but i dont know if i want people to assume i am an athlete or something or all the other background problems these jackets come with.
