I think this is the jacket that really pushed me over the edge, from "girl who likes leather jackets" into the leather jacket version of a crazy cat lady. I remember buying it, from eBay. I'd never heard of the brand, had no way of feeling the leather or inspecting the garment. But I had been a clothing designer, and a leather designer, for a few years and I felt like I'd reached a place of confidence where I could look at those terrible pictures on eBay and I knew what it would feel like, and I knew what it would fit like. It's strong, it's cool, it's unique -- and when I wear it, it makes me like I'm those things too.
