"Hey y'all, I'm Luke, and I've got a jacket problem. It's become a bit of a stressor on my relationship. My wife understands the RRL Type III trucker I wear most days, but she can't fathom why I have a 1960's deadstock Big-E Levi's model that looks the exact same. (It's an investment.) She doesn't love how much vintage shopping I do or when I have to occupy the living room and wax the Barbour."
"I think it comes from my dad. He's got like two or three Arc'teryx jackets. The closet at home has more North Faces, L.L.Bean barn coats, hunting jackets, and waxed jackets than any man could ever make use for. I guess these behaviors are learned. If this were an addiction I actually cared about beating, I would cut it all down to one jacket."
An extensive jacket collection including vintage Levi's, an RRL Type III trucker, Barbour, and military reproductions has caused relationship strain due to frequent vintage shopping and costly impulses. The accumulation of Arc'teryx, North Face, L.L.Bean barn coats, hunting jackets, and waxed jackets illustrates a learned buying behavior. Consolidating to a single versatile jacket is proposed as a solution. The Filson Tin Cloth short trucker is recommended as that sole casual jacket because its short trucker/cruiser shape flatters most men, offers durable tin cloth fabric, and matches multiple styles; the short cruiser is preferred for waist-level proportion and versatility.
