Hi Jacket!

How are you?

You are:

Navy Blue
100% Wool knit
Purchased from the Men's Section at Frankston Savers for $6.99
Covered in Moth-holes (all part of the charm, I suppose).
2 pockets. Size '42'

I chose the jacket because it seemed to have a lot of shape and character while
it was still hanging on the rack - It stood out immediately to me.
It doesn't have much padding though, and the shaping isn't very severe.
It is quite heavy though...

It was also one of the smallest men's jackets. While i enjoy wearing oversized jackets
i wanted to find something that would fit me. I was interested to discover how the jacket
felt when it was close to the body. Having said all that, it still is a larger fit on me than
many women's jackets I tried on, but I prefered the androgynous aesthetic it seemed to have.

The label appears to say SS-MODE in the picture below. But it actually says ASS-MODE.
Yup, Really.

I couldn't find any info on the brand online and I don't recommend doing a google image search.

No mention of where the jacket is made but the fabrics are listed in german first - perhaps it could be German?

I like photographing the jacket so that it looks like a flat object. Photographing the Jacket
has allowed me to play around with my camera, which has been great.

I should mention that it didn't come with the cat-hair.
It's just something that happens to anything in my possession.

The moth-holes are scattered across the jacket - the largest one pictured above is about 0.5 cm
in length.

I wore the jacket for a week straight to see how it felt and how comfortable it was for me.
I found it to be slightly more constrictive than most jackets I'd owned - despite it not being tight-fitting.
I wore it to work stacking shelves. It wasn't incredibly hard to work in, but I felt as though I was constantly reminded I was wearing a tailored garment. Often I almost forget what I am wearing.
