this is the thread where you reccomend me a jacket

i need a new jacket for the spring and stuff. ideally my new jacket will be waist-length or around there, light, have some pockets, and look totally awesome. i don't think i can deal with corduroy unless it really catches my eye, and i dunno about denim either though i am open.

also it cannot be too expensive.

also i am very bad to my clothing so durability is a plus.

thank you.

i ALWAYS misspell recommend!! WHY!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 24 April 2004 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

any advice on this persistent and annoying error would also be appreciated.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 24 April 2004 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

But first, describe yourself. M/F, height, wt., hair color. Jacket like windbreaker or blazer?

i'm a 74-year-old frenchwoman

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 24 April 2004 23:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Good, then this will be a piece of gateau.

One of the most famous 74-year-old French women and her jacket.

― Skottie, Saturday, 24 April 2004 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

whoa my picture turned out pretty fucked up.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 24 April 2004 23:38 (twenty-two years ago)

No, not really. Most Frenchwomen are extremely pixelated at this point in time.

Very fashionable.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

too long

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, this french jacket for the ladies.

what size are you?

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

We also have this lovely one, but your head gets cut off.

i dunno! large? i'm actually a six-foot-tall jewish dude, not an elderly frenchwoman btw

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that a Scarsdale car coat, Teeny?

― Skottie, Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

it's zegna I think.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

why do you want a coat anyway slutskee? it's nearly summer!

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

cuz it's montreal and the only coats i have are too warm for me. i need a light typa deal since i lost my jean jacket last year!

another piece of information about me is that my arms a bit long.

$70 marked down from $250, still pricey for a windbreaker.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

oh so you meant lightweight, not light colored??

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

give me something to work with here!

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i presume that's $70US right? also white clothing is no good for me cuz i'll invariably get it all scuffed up and stuff! (xp)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

so yes i do mean lightweight! uhh and i'm really trying to brainstorm this because i have very few ideas, sorry if that's not very helpful!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

this is pretty cute.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

do you seriously not know what size you are? I'm guessing since you're tall, you'd need an xl.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

L usually works pretty well for me!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

but now that i think of it, i usually go xl for jackets. that one is pretty nice! i can't tell if it has any pockets or not though, i'm off to zoom in on it!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

actually on close inspection that jacket is quite nice! do they only sell it over the internet? because ordering clothes that way kind of worries me.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

everything really has that zip-up neck nowadays, doesn't it? i actually have a nice coat with a built-in dickie neck like that and i like it, though it makes wearing headphones around the neck kind of a chore.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah this is an internet-only retailer, they make returns super-easy though, you just slap on the sticker they give you and send it back. It's free if you accept a store credit or they deduct the shipping (like $8) if you want your money back. I've used them many times and been very happy.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

huh. my one real concern is that i'm pretty picky and i really feel like i need to try the item on before i make a decision. but i wonder.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm not making this very easy, am i?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure there's plenty of stylish stuff in montreal.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

that's a french connection uk jacket, they have two stores in montreal.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 25 April 2004 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm actually a six-foot-tall jewish dude, not an elderly frenchwoman btw

Hmmmm, are you sure you're not a 74 year old Frenchwoman trapped inside the body of a six-foot-tall Jewish dude? Anyway, who says a 74 year old Frenchwoman couldn't be six feet tall? Except that there aren't any.

But now we have more to go on. I'm getting a mental picture of gabe kaplan crossed with brigitte bardot. Am I wrong?

fabu and a bargain at only $700.

― Skottie, Sunday, 25 April 2004 02:12 (twenty-two years ago)

This is nice too, not a windbreaker, of course, but...

― Skottie, Sunday, 25 April 2004 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

that's a french connection uk jacket, they have two stores in montreal.

cool! i'm gonna check that out!

meanwhile, what do you think of the jackets on this page?:

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

you can't go wrong with something like the golf jacket or the wes parker rain jacket thingy. very classic. they remind of the kind that mods/skinheads wear (harringtons?), but that might not sound like an endorsement.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah both of those caught my eye! i really have a weakness for that penguin stuff, too bad it is so pricey. but if i see one of those bad boys when i'm shopping i may not be able to restrain myself.

(kinda like those wind jackets too!)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

the problem with short jackets and me is that i never ever tuck my shirt in so if the shirt's longer than the jacket it can look weird.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 25 April 2004 04:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i walked all over the place yesterday looking for a jacket and nothing pleased me! then i went home and fell asleep and woke up and thought it was the next morning. but today i bought a nice brown suit for $20 and a shirt and a brown striped pierre cardin tie! and a weird suitcase! and a weird hat!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, so what's so weird about them?

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

another piece of information about me is that my arms a bit long

you only have one arm s locki?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, please now justify your statements to our satisfaction.

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 22:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i am getting very strange images of you in my head. please make it stop.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 22:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i have two arms but they're on the same side of my body

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

the suitcase is weird because it has a weird pattern on it, i am going to give it to a friend. the hat is just weird, it's like this polyester cap that only looks good at a very specific angle, and even them i'm still skeptical (i got it for free tho).

maybe i'm just not used to wearing hats (i have a very big head and few fit me)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

this is now the thread where you recommend me a pair of sneakers!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 30 April 2004 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm a size 11 (US) and jewish if you need any of that kind of information

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 30 April 2004 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

the thing with the penguin jackets (I've tried them on) is they are horrible across the shoulders. :( it's a shame because I like the designs / colours.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 07:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Is sneakers a mainly Canadian term? vs. runners, trainers etc...

also - TWO feet, right?

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 1 May 2004 19:40 (twenty-two years ago)

uhh, i'm not sure

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 1 May 2004 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

"sneakers" is american/canadian. i think.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 1 May 2004 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

do you say it too?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 1 May 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)
